Doberman Bonding

jmaitland001 Oct 20, 2007 05:58 PM

Hey everyone. Just brought home the newest addition to our family, an 8 week old purebed dobe male.

He is really great, but I'm concerned that he may only be bonding with my fiancee. Is there any way to even up the bonding process? Or do males just prefer females?

Thanks!

You could take turns playing games with the pup, feeding the pup, grooming the pup, taking the pup for walks, etc. Do some things where it is just you and the pup. This is a great age to build a bond.
