To, Kirsten
Their is a product called crab boil, I’m not promoting Wal-Mart, crab boil is found in spice area in a bottle It’s a real hot liquid, when used in an ion spray bottle on anny thing that is precious to you, they will not likely touch it again, but you have to spray the solution slowly or else you can smell the intense aroma, it works very well without hurting the dog, so use it sparringly.
If the chewwing is the only problem, its much cheaper than a collar.
It works on things outside the house as well, but you may have to spray more often.

For the intense will , genius of our doberman as with most of the breed, they are more intellectually smarter than their owners.
That being said, without her wearing her collar everything gets destroyed, and I am with her 24/7 . So I know the second I turn my back to her she will turn and go for the remote control fore the tv, she has destroyed 4.
We have come to the conclusion , the only time she is well behaved, is when she is tired from a long training or exercise sessions. But Raven also knows when her collor is not on that she can get away with some indescribable bad behavior. With some efforts of my own, I’ve learned that by just holding the controlling device, without her wearing the receiver and giving her a command it works just as well.
I believe it is the best way and most humane for positive response training than any sources of corporal punishment.
Hitting or striking , especially a doberman is the fastest way to turn the most loving ; loyal breed on the planet, into a pit bull from hell !!. That will bite you, without remorse.
The training collars work.

Hi Kirsten,
also make sure your dog always has something fun to chew on, try different toys to find what she prefers and if you don’t have one get a kong. Stuff it with food and try freezing it to make it harder for her to get food out.
Also another suggestion maybe a second dog would help. Instead of getting active with your furniture, she can bug her roomate

I found this article very helpful. I have considered using an electric collar for a while now and was worried about the long term effects on my dog. I have a 2 yr old doberman who is very high strung and has a bad habit of chewing on nearly everything that she comes in contact with when she thinks I’m not watching. The sofa, walls, shoes, clothes, etc, are all items that she chews when not getting constant attention (expecially at bed time) Since verbal correction did not correct the problem and I didn’t want to crate her while I was home (she is crated durring the day, while I work)This left her the opprunitity to wreck havoc on my house. At first I thought the misbehavior came from my lack of attention to her, but even after daily long walks and hours in the dog park she still seemed to tear stuff up. Last weekend after reading this article (and several others- positive and negative) I purchaced the Innoteck Training Collar. I have already noticed her behavior improve. She hasn’t touched a sofa pillow and now stays in her bed all night. I wanted to show her that not only is her crate safe, but both myself(by my side) and her bed can be too, eventually I would like to be able to leave her out of the crate durring the day and this training method seems to be working. The Innoteck collar I purchaced also came with a training DVD on how to reinforce basic comands with the collar- She also seems to be improving with those too.

Be consistent. If you let your dog sometimes “get away” with bad behavior, your best friend will sense that you are a pushover and not a leader to respect.
