I get it, posting Doberman ears can be intimidating at the start!
One reason you chose the Breed was because of that
"Look of Eagles". You don't want to screw the ears up, but you don't have reliable support to help guide you. You just need someone to
help you get started, and be there for you along with way in case
there are any hiccups.
Or maybe you successfully posted ears on your previous Doberman, but that was years ago and a refresher wouldn't hurt. And the supplies you used back then are no longer available, so what are some proven alternatives?
Elizabeth is the recipient of the Doberman Pinscher Club of America's Silver-level APEX Award as an outstanding Breeder, with 40 AKC Champions, over a dozen Top 20 Performance, and multiple Service and Therapy Dobermans to date. A Licensed Veterinary Technician and one of about 70 AKC Registered Dog Show Handlers in the country, she has posted ears on hundreds of puppies above and beyond her own 30+ years worth of litters.

Posting Doberman ears is not one-size-fits-all. Problems getting ears to stand can be from a structurally poor crop, too long and/or too thin, ear leather thickness, deep ear pockets, low ear set, or inflammation or scarring from infection or trauma. The posting method, execution of the posting method, and consistency on the part of the owner also play a big part.
With all those variables, no crop is guaranteed to stand.
But with expert guidance you greatly improve your chances of success!
"We have a 13-week-old Doberman puppy who could not tolerate having his ears posted. We were so frustrated that he repeatedly pulled out the posts, that we had taken to putting him in a plastic funnel “Elizabethan” collar just so we didn’t have to re-post multiple times a day. It was an exhausting, frustrating process. And we aren't even
"We have a 13-week-old Doberman puppy who could not tolerate having his ears posted. We were so frustrated that he repeatedly pulled out the posts, that we had taken to putting him in a plastic funnel “Elizabethan” collar just so we didn’t have to re-post multiple times a day. It was an exhausting, frustrating process. And we aren't even first-time Doberman owners! After watching Elizabeth’s helpful YouTube videos, we contacted her to ask for a private consultation.
Elizabeth was able to meet with us quickly and walked us through some new techniques for successful ear posting. The transformation was instantaneous, and he hasn't bothered the posts at all! We couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! Elizabeth’s personable guidance was clear, practical, and customized to our dog’s specific issues."

"I am so glad I reached out to Elizabeth for a chat about my 8 month old “Zack’s” ear posting progress. I simply chose my preferred day and time, and she set it up via Zoom. It was an easy way to chat with me and see my dog, as I live in Ireland. The Zoom appointment gave me the opportunity to speak virtually face-to-face with Elizabeth who has vast experience. The advice was excellent and helped to relieved my anxiety.
I am so glad I contacted Elizabeth with the questions I had. Thank you so much, I enjoyed the relaxed Zoom appointment."

"Max’s ears are looking so so much better! Thank you again and again for all the advice and support. Your videos are such a great tool and most importantly your time you put in to the forum helping others. Without a doubt you have been one of the greatest resources with ear posting!"

"Coming from Singapore, where there’s virtually no veterinary experience with Doberman ear posting, we were completely in the dark after our pup’s crop. We found Elizabeth Barrett through her incredible YouTube channel The Doberman Way, and it quickly became our go-to source for everything ear posting.

"Coming from Singapore, where there’s virtually no veterinary experience with Doberman ear posting, we were completely in the dark after our pup’s crop. We found Elizabeth Barrett through her incredible YouTube channel The Doberman Way, and it quickly became our go-to source for everything ear posting.
We recently had a consult with Elizabeth, and I can confidently say — it was worth every minute. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. She broke down exactly what methods we should use, how long to continue posting, and what to expect at each stage of healing and development.
Before the consult, we were second-guessing everything. After speaking with Elizabeth, we felt empowered, clear, and supported. She truly understands Dobermans, and it shows in how she communicates — both in her videos and one-on-one.
If you’re a Doberman owner living outside the U.S. or in a place with limited breed-specific support, don’t hesitate to book a session with her. It gave us the confidence and clarity we desperately needed.
Thank you, Elizabeth — from us and our Enzo with beautifully standing ears! 🐾"
