I am going through the same with our rescued white dobie. She is about 5 and came from an extreme abusive background. She has nipped at some of our male friends. But other than that she is a great dog!

I dont know if you’ll like my answer but we have two Dobies that wear shock/vibrate collars Kelly Lehman. I never use the shock application because they can’t stand the vibrate and I know it’s not hurting them. When either of my dogs start having bad behavior issues, whether it’s from boredom or anxiety, here’s what we do. I don’t say anything, wait for them to act up and then immediately vibrate them. They’ll look around confused, probably try again, get vibrated and then realize that say when they growl at a child some “crazy force” is watching them and will learn not to do it. It’s helped with a lot of issues. But remember that you need to train them verbally for direct commands by giving them the opportunity to listen the first time and enough time to respond and then if they don’t listen they get vibrated on the second command. Does that make sense?
