what age should a mini doberman begin training ?

Question

she is 10 weeks old now and bites on and eats EVERYTHING she sees

Answer 1

Your pup is a Miniature Pinscher, unrelated to the doberman, although they do look like small Dobies.
the best time to begin training is as soon as you get her.
You always try the most positive method first:
Some ideas for discouraging finger chewing: when your puppy clamps down, let out a very loud YELP in imitation of a hurt puppy. Then, fold your arms and ignore him for 10 minutes. With very young puppies, this sometimes works wonders - it's the same thing that happens when they get too rough with another puppy. The wounded puppy yelps and runs off, refusing to play for a bit. The yelp must be startling enough to stop the behavior. If nothing changes, you probably weren't a good enough actor.Please give this a good try and be patient.

That should do the trick, unless she is prey driven, . however, if it doesn't fix the problem this will work:

To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup by the scruff of the neck with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.

When she chews on things she shouldn't, say 'Shhhhh" loudly and give her a suitable toy.

Answer 2

The socialization period is between 4-16 weeks (some argue 12 weeks). Puppy classes begin at 10 weeks after the second set of shots.
Since you are staring to experience problems now, you should consider working with a professional to Prevent problems. Prevention is easier than changing a learned behavior.
I also find that with small breeds, it is beneficial to expose them to different people, children, large and small breeds so that they become confident in all environments.
Also with small breeds, remember not to carry them everywhere so that they can experience the world on thier own terms, a tied dog, or carried dog cannot run away when they feel afraid and is morel ikely to bite or show signs of fear aggression.
Petsmart will begin training at 10 weeks, just contact your local store to sign up.

Answer 3

First off, there is no such thing as a mini doberman. You possibly have a miniature pinscher or a german pinscher.

Start training right away. 10 weeks is plenty old enough.

Answer 4

You should begin training the moment you meet. As for the biting, get her chew toys and lots of them. When she goes to bite on a person tell her 'no' and give her a chew toy, when she takes the chew toy tell her 'good girl'.
She is teething and needs to chew on things, it helps with the pain she is experiencing. Be careful with her chew toys, as soon as she 'kills' it (the stuffing coming out or rips it), throw that one away and replace it as soon as possible.
You have a awesome breed of dog, take good care of her, she will no doubt be your best friend one day.

Answer 5

If you want to go to classes she needs to have all of her puppy shots.
She gets her last ones at 5 months old.
I recommend you get a book on dog training and start now.
Good luck
