Our clients frequently ask which items we recommend for training, nutrition, grooming, and play for their puppies. Mike and I compiled an extensive list of items that we use daily. After many years of owning and training Dobermans, we had a lot of trial and error with many products. Here is a list of products & links we buy for our puppies:

For Nutrition:

Nutrition is something we take seriously. We researched many dog food companies and their products. A growing puppy needs optimum nutrition for the best health and quality of life. These are the food and supplements we include and recommend as part of our nutrition plans. Serving size will vary to each individual dogs’ needs.

Contact us for a nutrition plan that’s specifically designed for your dog.

1. Taste of the Wild with Ancient Grains
2. Nupro Joint Supplement
3. Sweet Potato
4. Dyne
5. Meal Topper
6. Freeze Dried Dog Treats
7. Coconut Oil
8. Salmon Oil

For Chewing:

Dobermans are notorious heavy chewers. After owning a puppy and going through a plethora of chew toys, you will quickly realize: when it comes to chew toys–size and quality matters. These items were tested by our very own Doberman stud, Leonidas and our French bulldog, Jett. They approve.

1. Benebone
2. Mighty Paw Yak Dog Chew
3. Buffalo Horn
4. Dinosaur Bone

For Training:

These are just a few tools we use as part of our training sessions. Please remember that these tools are only effective if used properly and as intended by the manufacturer. In fact, training tools used incorrectly can do more harm than good for you and your dog.

2. Dog Crate
3. Heavy Duty Collapsable Dog Crate
