This is an interesting question. With regard to Doberman puppies - yes. If one isn’t getting into something the other one is. Doberman puppies are little devils! I have a theory that the best dogs start out as the worst puppies.

We currently have three Dobermans. I have never seen them work together to give me any trouble. However, when one of them is bad and I shout a correction, the other two attack the bad one with rough play. Either they are trying to assist me in the correction or perhaps they are teasing. “Ha-ha – you got in trouble!”

Additionally, Drayko, who was the worst puppy I have ever dealt with and is now the best dog I have ever met, and is a great assistant with the other dogs and any puppies that might be around. If one is misbehaving and staying away from me I can tell Drayko, “Get the puppy!” and he’ll pounce, roll the puppy around and keep him still until I can get there.
