another dobie question
I have some suggestions to help you but first off you should crate train him.right away. Then I would suggest tackling the basics.sit, down, stay, off is one he really needs to learn. Neutering would help a lot but you said you aren't willing to do that.and it will be MUCH harder to make him stop humping if he is not neutered.at that age he is starting to (excuse the term) get horny. It's normal but a lot easier to fix in a neutered dog.
You should see a behavioralist to learn how to deal with the specific problems but to get control you have to earn it. This can be done with basic training classes as well. Once he starts understanding sit.he will start to listen to no.
However the behavioralist I work with/the other one I saw say that you shouldnt' use the word "no" with a dog because they dont' understand what "no" means. Instead you need to teach words with behaviors. Such as "off" when he jumps.
If you have more questions.you can e-mail me but I hope this helps a little.
by the way..pinning a 55 lb dog is very dangerous.be very careful if you try this..there are other ways to "show dominance."
No,he needs some obedience training to control the jumping on the kids and barking. The biting is not good. The males are more agressive than the females but the breed in general is very nice to raise.
Almost all dobies are like that if hitting the dog does not work try locking him in a cage kinda like a time out and if that does not work i would give it away.
Right now he is the leader of the pack and you have to show him that you are going to be the leader. if you let him continue this behavior he will always run the house and you can't have that. he will learn by repetition. put him on a leash walk around with him if he jumps up jerk him down and say NO. If he does it again repeat the same action. he will learn but it takes a lot of Patience and a lot of work he will not this learn over night. Good luck !
I have a LOT of knowledge about this..
