Comment on So You Want A Rottweiler Puppy? by Rachael

I have a 3 month old, female rottweiler. I’ve tried the crate training (she always poops in the crate and rolls all in it) and going outside every 30 minutes to an hour. She still chooses to potty inside. I honestly don’t know what else to do. It’s not like I don’t have experience with dogs because I also have two chihuahuas (3 years old) and a black russian terrier (6 months old). All three of them were housebroken really fast and easy. I’m really pulling my hair out over this one. Oh yes, and you are right about them howling and crying all the time.

Harry,
No disrespect, but unless you have a well paid job, and plenty of free time, a young rottie is def not for you ….they are full on and expensive to rear correctly. I am sure you are good with dogs, but I have just rescued a 16 week male pup from a young man whom, like you, had all the right intentions, but not enough funds….. please think carefully, they are a big commitment.

I am thinking of getting a Rottweiler. I am 15 years old and have lived with dogs since I was 3. I have developed a very close bond with my dogs so far but now want one of my own. I am thinking of getting a flat at 16 so need an idea of cost of keeping a dog.

Comment on Rottweiler play fighting with a labrador by Martin

Lovely to see any dog breeds playing together. My Malamute will play with anything from a jack russell to a deerhound but was branded aggressive by his previous owner. His favourites are golden retrievers. It is mostly down to how they are treated and dealt with. There is always the odd one of any breed that can be aggressive or unsocial but many of those classed as untrainable can be rehabilitated. Plenty of excercise, rules, and then affection can turn a dog around.

I have found a great source of information via online broadcasters of Rottweiler owners. Will try to post the link, you can chat with people from all over the world and get their advice instantly rather than wait for forums. Having rescue most of my rottweilers only to find one became pregnant, this became a great way of getting advice.

But from what I see above, you appear to be doing great. Might be worth thinking about taking the older children on walks with her when you go out or bring them in when you’re doing any training sessions with her. With all due respect, it’s as much about the children learning as it is the dog.

I am 48 1/2 and can’t believe that ‘50′ onwards is the third age. We’ve recently adopted a 6 year old rescue Rottie – and she’s adorable and very well behaved. She makes our two miniature dachshunds ( who we thought were relatively well behaved) look like hooligans.
Yes, she can pull at the lead when she wants to greet other dogs and people and it can be a full upper body work out but she’ll keep us fit and young. Not for the faint-hearted but if discipline- with love- can be maintained Rotties make great pets. Family, friends and neighbours have been won over by her wonderful personality.

I have a 7month old bitch. When we bought her the idea was for my partner to do all of the training so that she could develop the close bond with her. As my partner is petite, we both wanted our Rottie to listen to her more due to the size Rotties can get to. However, I snapped my Achilles tendon a week after getting her and ended up spending almost every day with her since then as I have been off work.
As a result I ended up being the one she bonds with most even though my partner took her to all of the puppy classes etc…
She does listen to my partner but you can see that she looks at me first before doing anything.
