Arianne- is there any chance you can get Harley running on a dog team? Dog sled drivers are starting to cart-train their teams right now on dryland (shorter runs in early morning mainly to avoid the heat), and I know there are some great kennels around there.
Look at Sled Dog Central for local sled dog kennels or ask around any dog people you know.
I would not do this unless Harley in not dog aggressive, and you trust whoever would be driving the dogs to manage your dog safely. This would be a terrific outlet for his energy, though.
Sorry to hear about your injury. I had some silly injuries this winter and spring, but none of them were quite as serious. It's always frustrating.
So I have tried to tye a toy to a rope and get Harley to jump. That worked very well until the branches all broke. The one I could reach any way.
I have contacted one dog team and got turn around badly as dobes are viscious and should never run in a team
I decided to walk a bit more in the wood and field, so both dogs can play and run. My problem was when I put them back on leash to walk back home, Dexter trip me, I feel on my butt. I failed to my dogs at that point and got a bit harsh to them for not been perfect. I felt bad for it.
I explained to the boy friend how to use the loung wipe to get Harley running. Well 3 tug toys got killed in the process but I got a tired pup.
Now I need to get someone to drive me to the store so I can get more tug toys.
I am trying to do more short ob session but it is hard as my left arm is very limited so giving the reward in exciting manners can get hard or not to get that arm rubbed or shaken too hard can also be hard. Harley loves to get very close in to me.

Keep trying. That one person obviously harbors some erroneous preconceived notions about Dobermans, in general. Probably had a bad experience with just one. And they've never seen this (or the many others like it):
do you have a flirt pole, all you have to do is stand there and jerk the pole around and your dog chases it. You keep it just out of reach, it really gives them a work out. If you can't do it maybe your boyfriend or mom could. I made mine, I took the tip from an old fishing pole, pulled it apart, tied a thin rope to it and tied a stuffed squirrel to the end of it, and man do my dogs love it. They get tons of exercise from it. I never let them have it on their own to play with, they only can play with it when i bring it out. The sessions do not need to be long, they get quite a work out.
I also send my dogs back and forth to the mats and go through their tricks.
Harley is wild for the flirt pole. But he is fast and powerful so I need 2 hands to hold it when he catches the toy.
Now he is to be QUEIT for 2 weeks. Oh joy. Leash walk for 1 week and short off leash by himself after. That's what was suppose to be today a short off leash by himslef.
He zoomed into a tree. Flirt pole not permited as he can twist his leg chasing the toy.
