Your dog needs better training and soon.
He must have been encouraged to bite in some way even simply ply play fighting or plaing tuggy.
Find a good dog trainer and for the moment invest in a muzzle for anything outside your house or you could end up in serious trouble if he bites someone

A Doberman Pinscher is not for everyone. You need to have this dog trained, and trained soon!!! They are VERY intelligent & can be stubborn or head strong if you let him. If you can't train him find someone that knows how to handle this breed. DO NOT put the dog to sleep!!! It is not his fault. He needs to be taught. Are you sure the dog is being aggressive or his he simply just playing, maybe a little too rough? Someone has to show this dog he can not go around scaring everyone if that is what he is really doing. I do know the Dobermans looks intimidateing, but they are very sweet if trained right!!! If you have had this dog since he has been 9 weeks you are long overdue with training & teaching him!!! I'll bet this is your first Dobie?

I have a Dobe and mine used to play bite, but has never bitten out of fear or aggression. First, you need to determine if he is play biting or being aggressive. Above all, don't encourage the play biting and If it is aggression then you will need further training because training doesn't end just because class is over and without the proper daily instruction then what your pup has learned will disappear. You will need to talk to your trainer and then you should start socializing your pup. Take him for walks where he will meet new people and animals and become comfortable around them. Dobe's are very obedient and with time and patience you will have a very well behaved dog. Good Luck

It is idiots like you that get not only this particular breed of dog, but all other responsible dog owners a bad name. You obviously have no experience or understanding of dogs and it is plain that you bought a "little fluffy puppy" without giving any serious consideration of what it would grow into. From the dates you give this dog is nowhere near fully grown. You say the dog is trained, but I very much doubt that you have a fully trained and totally trustworthy dog. It's plain that you have given the dog little or no obedience training and it's probable that it's not been properly socialised either.
You have two options, either get to obedience classes with your dog, or look to get it re homed. DO IT NOW.
Do not have the dog euthanized, the dog does not deserve to die just because you are a bad owner.

You must train him to stop that habit immediately, puppies should never be encouraged to mouth at their owners, its fine whilst they're tiny but once their adult teeth plus jaw strength develop it is a recipe for disaster.
If you got him at 9 wks in march, he is still a baby so it is not too late. Get him and you enrolled into an obedience class ASAP, explain to the trainer what your problem is and they will be able to help you sort it out.

Take him to obedience training. NOW.
He's also at the "chewy" stage that puppies are famous for. This will continue until he's well over a year old.
Obedience training with a certified trainer, experienced with overly aggressive dogs is the only cure. Otherwise, consider re-homing him.
If you're in West VA, or at least close to it - I'll take him.

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/Dfcir
By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.
To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Ask yourself why you really want to keep a breed like that. It may not be suitable for you and your family. It would be tragic if it harmed any one either in your family or the public. Unless you can afford to train it or know how to do it, think about giving it to some one who can. The only way you can stop its biting habit is to get proper training for it, and then you may find that it may only be good for guard dog duty and not as a pet. You don't want this to end with it having to be put down because it has become uncontrollable. As a guard dog it may be fine.

You say he's trained. I don't believe it unless you mean trained not to potty on the floor. What about obedience training? Do you know what a correction is and that it always ends with praise for compliance? Any trainer would know how to deal with this.
