Doberman

　　1. Development of the Doberman's biting desire is the foundation of bite training. It mainly lays the groundwork for later stages in aspects such as the dog's courage, bite force, physical stamina, and confidence. The training environment for disputing and biting objects can be divided into inside and outside the kennel. Early training requires maintaining a quiet environment and eliminating other external distractions. Regarding training items, the dog's leash must be solid, and the biting objects should be diversified (such as towels, hemp sticks, worn clothes, wooden sticks, etc.). This stage aims to have the dog show no fear toward the objects contested and to actively and aggressively bite the objects, maintaining a strong desire to win. In training operations, the owner can hold fabric items frequently fetched by the dog to fully excite the dog and stimulate its hunting desire. When the dog exhibits strong eagerness to get the item, the owner gives the item for the dog to bite and competes with the dog for it, rewarding the dog with the command "Good". One hand can compete with the dog, while the other hand pats the dog, finally ending with the dog winning the tug-of-war game with the owner. It is also possible to use a hemp stick or other biting items outside the kennel to excite the dog. When the dog shows strong biting desire, one end of the hemp stick is passed into the kennel through a gap, and the other end is held by the owner to compete with the dog. The owner can stimulate the dog by making threatening sounds or simulated striking actions, ultimately ending with the dog winning. Attention should be paid to selecting items suitable for the dog to bite but easy for the human to contest. The strength and duration of tugging with the dog should be based on the dog's actual ability, with appropriate control over the time and force involved.

　　2. Development of Doberman's fierceness and hostility is a very important stage of bite training, mainly serving to cultivate the dog's attacking motivation. Training forms are divided into inside and outside the kennel.

　　The training environment requires flat terrain without other obstacles, making it easy for the dog and helper to run and wrestle. The dog's leash must be sturdy, and the helper should have complete protective gear. The basic training goal is that the dog shows no fear of the helper's stimuli and actively attacks the trainer.

　　During training operation, the dog's food is placed at the inner side of the kennel door, after which the trainer leaves and hides where the dog cannot see. Once the dog starts eating, the helper makes a sound to attract the dog's attention and approaches the kennel with a cunning action pretending to fight over the food. When the dog barks or claws at the kennel, the helper strikes the kennel with a prepared bait stick (branches or brooms may be used) while making threatening sounds to stimulate the dog, ending with the helper fleeing from the kennel. Alternatively, the helper can shout or knock on the door outside to attract the dog's attention. The trainer brings the dog close to the door and issues the command "Watch". At this moment, the helper slightly opens the door gap and uses a prepared bait tool to strike the ground or the dog to stimulate it. When the dog shows strong attacking behavior, the trainer leads the dog to retreat while the helper enters the room to bait the dog. The trainer encourages the dog by petting it, and ultimately the helper flees the room to end the session.

　　Outdoor fierceness training is best conducted using group baiting. Before training, dogs are grouped according to their fierceness, with 5 to 8 dogs per group being suitable. Before training starts, trainers line up dogs in a semi-arc formation (spacing about 3 meters), check the leashes, stand firm in a "T"-step, and wait for the helper's baiting. At this point, the helper suddenly appears in the dog's view from a hidden spot, loudly shouting to attract the dog's attention and waving the baiting tool while jumping toward the dogs. Upon reaching the dogs, the helper first uses the baiting tool to hit the ground and intimidate the dogs, then, based on each dog's individual reaction, appropriately applies whipping stimuli to their bodies. Trainers encourage the dogs on the side, and finally, training ends with the helper fleeing the training ground.
