Should you get your dog's tail docked? Today, we talk all about the pros and cons of docking your dog's tail. In this video, I have a debate against myself! That's right! I take BOTH sides of the Doberman tail docking (also known as tail bobbing) issue. We'll discuss issues like pain, balance issues, communication issues, tail breakage, and of course the Doberman breed standard. This video should help make your decision easier as to whether to get your Doberman's tail docked or not. Please remember that it's a big world out there and while tail docking is illegal in some countries, it's incredibly commonplace in others (like in the U.S.). So be kind to each other in the comments because your culture may not be the same as other cultures when it comes to tail bobbing (or docking).
