Just joined today. Seems like this is very nice site. Glad to see some other people who are 'owned' by Dobes. My Dobergirl is
five years old and the light of my life. I was reading about the Dobe who barked twice to be let out. Sooo smart. I taught my girl to ring a bell. I attached a jingle bell from Christmas to the wall when she was just a baby of 12 weeks , took her paw and and rang it before letting her out. After 3 or 4 times, she was ringing the bell to go out. . She has been doing it ever since. Of course, she now has a doggy door, but Dobes being Dobes, she would MUCH rather ring the bell and have her slave (meaning me) get up and open the door!
I will look forward to getting to know all of you and your dogs.
