What Sets Dobermans Apart?

While all dogs are individuals with their own personalities and dispositions, many Dobermans share a few key traits. Those who know and love Dobermans appreciate their loyal nature. Often referred to as “velcro dogs,” Dobermans are devoted to their owners and will often follow their chosen humans throughout the house.

When trained correctly, Dobermans are incredibly obedient and protective. Intelligent and motivated to please, Dobermans were historically bred as work dogs and still make excellent therapy companions. Dobermans also tend to be energetic and need plenty of enrichment and attention.

    I first reached out to David from Dog Training Elite Asheville when I had just moved to Asheville, and my dog was stressed, behaving aggressively, and resource guarding. I was scared and needed help asap because I didn't know how to deal with it. I called David, and he reassured me and gave me clear action steps for in-house training. Within just a couple of sessions, I've seen a MASSIVE difference in how my dog is behaving. He's confident, trusts me, and is friendly to anyone that comes in the door. He is all around a happier dog. I would recommend them to anyone that needs help with dog behavior and training. They're also kind people and often very flexible scheduling-wise!

    Our dog, Parker, learned so much from David’s and Nicole’s training — and so did we! Their gentle, knowledgeable approach immediately put Parker at ease and made him receptive to learning. They made every session fun, engaging, and positive. Thanks to their guidance, Parker has grown tremendously and is noticeably happier and more confident. We’re so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective dog training.

    I have so many wonderful things to say about David and Nicole at Dog Training Elite! They were incredibly successful in training our dog Stetson (as well as training us!) on how to behave and live our best lives together with our small children. I highly recommend this company and their services.

    I started working with the DTE-Asheville team a few months ago, to train my dog Toby as a service dog. I found them via online search and really appreciated how informative their website was, that they are an official/approved trainer for recognized service dogs, and that they will train your existing dog (vs being required to adopt a specific puppy to train for this purpose). Then when I spoke with David on the phone and met him for the initial consultation, I knew they were the right choice for me and Toby. We started with a few weeks of basic obedience training - that's the first step for every dog going through their program and it's a game changer! Toby had done "puppy class" years before and knew some basic commands, but still was a leash puller when excited and only had reliable recall when cheese was involved. Recall was fixed and 100% perfect after just the first training session and has remained perfect since! And he also now reliably walks to heel when requested too. We're nearly through the full program and I'm going into his last couple of sessions confident in his service dog skills and that he will pass the tests required to earn the certification. I would recommend Dog Training Elite Asheville to any pet parent who is committed to working with their dog!

    David and Nikki are phenomenal trainers! Simba, our rescued retriever, was bit the day after the hurricane by a German Shepard. He began to show aggression and biting. After 3 bites, in which all the people had to go to Urgent Care, we began to think we were going to have to put him down. We took him to the Vets to check if anything was physically wrong. Everything checked OK. By some miracle, and a long, but good story, Nikki and David reached out to us. We signed up for their training immediately. A great adventure began. They gave us hope and trained us and Simba for proper responses. He is a different dog. We now have the knowledge and tools to work with, and we can safely say, he is not a biter any longer! We will be trying our first Lowes visit with a group of dog graduates. Wish us luck! This training is A Plus! Patricia English Ken Huser

    I can't say enough great things about David and Nicole! From day one, they were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping my dog, Stetson, succeed. Their training methods are effective, positive, and tailored to my dog’s unique needs. I've seen such an incredible transformation—better behavior, more confidence, and a stronger bond between us. Before the training, Stetson was difficult to handle. He did not listen, nor did he want to. It was chaos with a three-year-old and a newborn, but he has done a complete 180. Stetson can be around the kids and has a calm and playful demeanor. He can go for car rides and walks in the neighborhood, without walking me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving David a call. If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and delivers accurate results, I highly recommend calling David and Nicole/Dog Training Elite. They are absolute professionals and worth every penny! Thank you so much for your dedication and expertise! 🐶👏

    I engaged the Webbs to help me train my mini-dachshunds for therapy work. (Nursing home/hospice type visits). The Webbs were wonderful and helped turn this pair of young dogs onto well behaved citizens yet still allowing them their fun loving spirit. I enjoyed the experience of learning how to be a better owner to my dogs.

    This was exactly what our pups needed. Our family can now confidently enjoy taking our dogs out and about knowing that they will behave. We had tried other obedience training in the past with minimal success. Dog Training Elite gave us the tools we needed to successfully train our two young pups.

    David and the Dog Training Elite team are truly lifesavers. Our dog struggled with aggression with other dogs, which prevented us from being able to take him out with us and give him the life he needed. After just two months our pup was completely changed! I cannot overstate how effective David and his team are, and they create a friendly and fun environment at every training session.

    I truly couldn’t be happier with our experience with Elite dog training. When I met David, I was afraid to do anything with my dog, I was even afraid to walk him alone. Now, I am living with ease and my dog is so much happier. He gets to come everywhere with us and we have all the tools to ensure a safe experience for all. When I say it was miraculous, I’m not exaggerating. I wish we would’ve done this years ago! Plus, they are so kind and thoughtful which makes training feel less like work, and more like fun!

    David and Nicole are an excellent team. Their love of dogs is so evident. I wanted to fine tune some of my 3 year old Cavapoo s behavior. In 3 private in home sessions my dog learned how to hold place, heel to eliminate lease pulling and much more. They were very clear to make me understand that the tins collar was not painful or harmless to Vinnie. In fact, Vinnie is happy to have the collar placed each day. I highly recommend working with David and Nicole.

    What a great experience for my dog and I! They worked with Kieran on his obiedence on the gold package and help solidify his fundamentals. He can now walk past the house with a ton of dogs with out barking and doesn’t pull on his leash making walks more enjoyable! 10/10 recommend

    I was diagnosed with Autism as an adult over three years ago. I've been trying to find a way to afford a service animal since then. I almost gave up... the dogs I was finding were upwards of $40k! I couldn't afford it... When I found David at Dog Training Elite, he offered training at a tenth of the price I was finding, I just had to acquire the pup on my own. I wanted to train a rescue instead of getting a dog from a breeder--David came with me to help me pick out a trainable pup at no cost! Been training with them for about 5 months now and my pup is excellently behaved in public and at work, at only 8 months old! I couldn't possibly recommend these guys any more strongly.

Why Train Dobermans?

Read More
Read Less

Dobermans have the potential to be incredible companions and content family dogs with the correct training and attention. Dobermans are eager to please and can help protect and keep you company. On the other hand, their energetic nature and high intelligence can also lead to destructive behavior without proper enrichment and direction. They are also large and powerful dogs that can easily become dangerous without guidance, just as all breeds can.

Dobermans thrive with enrichment and direction, and it is always safest to have a well-trained dog. Your dog, family, and community are best served by thorough training and ongoing exercise and enrichment. Having the peace of mind that your dog will obey your directions no matter the environment and circumstances is the best way to keep everyone safe.

When it comes to dog training, earlier is always better with Asheville Doberman puppy training, but that’s not to say that older dogs cannot or should not be trained. Especially with such an intelligent dog breed, training at any age is an excellent choice. Other signs that it’s time to start training include aggression toward other dogs or people, anxiety in public spaces, or poor recall.
