Regarding the physical parts of a canine, certain features have been reproduced into them for millennia due to selective breeding. Among these physical features, sharp ears are famously pursued. Ears that stand up are more commonly seen in breeds such as Dobermans. Whether it be for health reasons or style, getting your canine's ears to stand up is a sensitive process. Some owners train the ears by keeping them taped into the shape they want by using medical tape.
