Dobermann Toys

Ever heard of the term 'athletes of the dog world’? Yup, that's them. That's your little goofball right there. Dobermanns shine on the exercise front, and believe it or not, the more they exercise, the more energy they seem to have. A Dobermann who isn't exercised is almost impossible to manage at home, simply because exercise is their outlet for all that built-up energy. Dobermans need a minimum of 4 to 5 hours of physical exercise every day. And, not the walk in the park kind.

This breed thrives on activities that use both their mind and body, such as fetch, agility, jogging, scent work, hiking, and swimming. Alongside physical exercise, ensure your Dobermann receives good mental stimulation from different types of puzzles and toys - that is if you do not wish for your home to become a Doberman chew toy. Whilst training a Doberman is easy, it isn't optional. This is a dog that needs to know the rules from A to Z, especially what is allowed and what isn't. So, make training fun by adding various challenge levels, and you'll be amazed at how smart your Dobbie is.

Here are some of the best types of Dobermann toys for your pooch - 

Squeaker toys 

Squeaker toys mimic the sound of scared prey and are therefore instantaneously liked by dogs with a high prey drive, like Dobbies. Squeaker toys are also an excellent way to grab a dog’s attention which makes them great for training and obedience. 

Plush toys

Plush toys, like the name suggests, are to offer comfort and security. Whilst adult Dobermans enjoy plush toys, it is the puppies who care for them the most - you’d most often see puppies napping with a plush toy because it gives them the same sort of comfort that they received from their mother. As they grow into adults, it is often the same plush toys that are played with. 

Rope toys

Rope toys are for a great game of tug-of-war at the beach, park, or almost anywhere outside. They’re also great for fetching and chewing. Rope toys are often used to calm hyperactive 

channelling energy onto destructive or negative behaviour such as destructive chewing, howling, pacing, barking etc.

Fetch toys

Ah, the good ol’ fetch! Dogs like Dobermans have a very high prey drive, and enjoy chasing things on end - which is why balls are an excellent addition to their stash of go-to toys!

Puzzle toys

Beneath all that fuzziness is a brain that is so smart, it’s the third most intelligent breed in the world. Yup, that’s right, you’ve got yourself an ace learner! Dobermans enjoy puzzles - it gives them something positive to focus on rather than stare listlessly out of the window or at the door waiting for you to come back. Besides, puzzles toys are excellent to stop destructive behaviour, aggression and separation anxiety - all of which are common Dobermann behavioural problems. 

Chew toys

Like it or not, Dobermans love to chew. Part of this non-stop chewing stems from the breed’s boundless energy that isn’t channelled to good use. As a result, you got yourself a dog that won’t stop until he/she has chewed the whole house. The solution? Chew toys. Chew toys re-direct negative behaviour onto positive chewing that helps with dental health, mental stimulation, and boredom-busting.
