An owner of two Dobermans thought it would be amusing to take the dogs to a playground and see what happens when he put them on a slide there. Somewhere in the end, a lesson was learned. Maybe.
Don’t worry, no one was hurt — neither human nor canine — in making this video, which is going viral today. But it does show that a Doberman can exercise basic common sense. Well, sort of.
“It was my stepson 23 yrs old that went up the steps & had the dogs follow him up and PERSUADED THEM TO SLIDE,” wrote Sherry Peters, on the YouTube page where this video was posted Friday. “My daughter In law just caught THE BIG SURPRISE. KIDS!! Do the darnedest things. Oops! Backfired on them.”
That’s one way to put it.
Actually, as you will witness, the first Doberman, a male, does his best to negotiate the slide. It’s when they attempt to make his sister follow in his footsteps, or foot-slides, that things get interesting.
Doberman’s are known as highly obedient and loyal dogs, but this video proves that they still have minds of their own — and their own ways of saying, “Don’t mess with me!”
Get ready for a laugh-out-loud surprise as the second Doberman comes up with her own, creative way to beat the system.
Before pitbulls became so prominent, dobies were the scariest (and best) guard dogs.
I think the phrase (and movie?) “they only kill their masters” was about dobies.
She is fortunate it did not take extreme umbrage.
Ever see the movie The Boys from Brazil?
That’s pretty funny.
The video would have been much better, if shot in landscape mode.
Dobie Ping
the only dog I've ever been bitten by was a doberman owned by a now deceased ex-friend I shared a house with.......
To this day I'll never figure out why it attacked me from behind.
But then again, my ex-friend had a bad habit of beating the dog when he thought it misbehaved..and I mean BEAT.
Hobbs, Revlon and now Sampson....my Dobermans are smarter than most people and better company....when my niece was 5 she would jump on Hobbs and his reaction was none.
Just about the best animal out there human or otherwise. xo
Did the little moggie ever make it up?

Killed by his dog?
;)
No, me........I don't blame a dog, I blame the owner...... :)

That is only fair.
Too bad she took the Lord’s name in vain.
Your cat is easily amused.
Bizarrely, this exact thing happened to me with my Wonder Dobe in 1980.
We were living in an apartment over a security company and I had to walk him out back in the grass surrounding the parking lot.
The building had a fire escape that led to a flat roof about 15 feet high.
One night, he went up the fire escape, for reasons I’ve never fathomed.
Without thinking, I said “Tito! Get down here!” and then things happened in super-slow-motion.
He approached the edge and I could see him start to dip down in the front as his haunches bunched.
And then, he was magnificently airborne.
In the half-second/500 hours between hunch and launch, my brain said “You gotta catch him!”
Stupid brain.
I always do what it says.
So I braced my hundred pounds against his 90 pounds, opened my arms wide and “caught” him.
Inertia won the day and I fell backwards, still holding him, wrenching my back and embedding gravel into my elbows, and his chin scraped the asphalt and bled.
But his legs and back were fine.
The things we do for love.
:-\
one of the funniest videos in quite a while, poor kitty..lol
Ouch. Honestly, I would have done the same thing.
Cute video.
Male doberman: “The things I do to keep Lady Boss happy-—”
Female doberman: “You want me to do what? Forget about it-—”
The Vast Doberman Conspiracy Strikes again!
