Trained Adults
A trained Dobermann is an opportunity for owners who want the right dog without taking on the uncertainty and demands of raising a young puppy.
The first months shape much of the adult dog’s behaviour. Socialisation, boundaries, routines and training must be introduced correctly and consistently — and mistakes made during this period can be difficult to reverse.
Our trained-dog programme places that responsibility in experienced hands. We select the dog according to the owner’s home, lifestyle and expectations, then raise and prepare it with a clear picture of the adult Dobermann they want to live with.
Every programme begins with a detailed conversation
We learn about your family, daily routine, previous experience, environment and what you expect from the dog. This allows us to select the right character and build the dog’s preparation around its future life rather than offer a standard training package.
Depending on the intended role, we offer:
Selected for conformation, movement, character and show potential
Their preparation may include socialisation, household manners, leash skills, travel routines, show handling and presentation in the ring. Depending on the agreement, the dog may also begin its show career before joining its new owner.
Selected for stable temperament, confidence, trainability and natural protective ability
Their preparation combines family life with practical control and may include household manners, environmental socialisation, obedience, recall, public behaviour and personal-protection training appropriate to the dog and its future home.
A family-protection dog should not be unstable or unnecessarily reactive. It should be composed in everyday life, manageable around its family and capable when a genuine situation requires it.
Our objective is not simply to deliver a dog that performs exercises
The dog is prepared to understand structure, live appropriately within a household and build a clear working relationship with its owner. Where possible, its programme reflects the conditions of the future home, including children, other animals, visitors, city life and travel.
Before placement, the owner receives guidance on the dog’s commands, routines, boundaries and handling. Continued consistency remains essential, and we stay available to support the transition after arrival.
Prepared here. Living the life envisioned for them.
We have already prepared and placed show Dobermanns and family-protection dogs with satisfied owners.
Today, they live as close family companions, capable protectors and representatives of the breed in the show ring. The photographs below offer a glimpse into their lives after leaving Quince’s Guardians.
