Doberman Five

How many ways can we care for our Doberman?
FIVE!
Count them with your Doberman. Ready?
Everyone, GO!

[Verse 1]

Number one, the race is done,
Rust-red feet have had their fun.
Check the bowl and fill it right,
Cool, clean water, fresh and bright.

Children: One is done! Here comes two!

[Verse 2]

Number two, the house goes slow,
Long black puppy folds down low.
No nose boops, no tapping toes,
Tiptoe past and let them doze.

Twitching paws.
Wiggly nose.
Sleeping Doberman.
Let them doze.

Children. Softly! Two is done. Here comes three.

[Verse 3]

Number three, give hugs a miss,
No face squeeze and no big kiss.
Toss a treat and watch it fly,
Let your Doberman come nearby.

Three is done! Here comes four!

[Verse 4]

Number four, before you start,
Find a grown-up, play it smart.
Meals and games and leash-time too,
Calm and slow is what we do.

Step by step.
Slow and clear.
Doberman puppy.
Grown-up near.

Four is done! One thing more!

[Verse 5]

Number five, read the face,
Ears and eyes may ask for space.
If your puppy turns away...

Take one step back.

That’s the way.

Number one?
FILL THE BOWL!

Number two?
LET THEM SLEEP!

Number three?
TOSS THE TREAT!

Number four?
GROWN-UP NEAR!

Number five?

GIVE THEM SPACE!

[Final chorus]

Doberman Five! Doberman Five!
Long legs, bright eyes, side by side.
Fill, tiptoe, toss, slow pace,
Grown-up near and give them space.

Doberman Five! Doberman Five!
Count them out from one to five.
Kind hands, quick feet, clever eyes,
That’s our brilliant Doberman Five!

[Fast final chant]

One! Fill!
Two! Tiptoe!
Three! Toss!
Four! Grown-up!
Five! Give space!

Everyone, DOBERMAN FIVE!
