Comments on: So You Want A Rottweiler Puppy? http://www.rottweilers.co.uk/so-you-think-you-want-a-rottweiler-puppy/ Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:27:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Rachael http://www.rottweilers.co.uk/so-you-think-you-want-a-rottweiler-puppy/comment-page-1/#comment-60 Rachael Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:27:40 +0000 http://www.studiopresscom/demo/allure/?p=11#comment-60 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.

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 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. I am thinking of getting a Rottweiler. I am 15 years old and have lived with dogs since I was 3.

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. I have a 7month old bitch.

Our Rottie is 7 weeks old so is very playful and bouncy. My boyfriend spends the day with her and I devote my evenings to her once i am back from work but I'm worried that this will confuse her in time to come having two people giving 'orders'. We have both lived with dogs all our lives and are confident that she will grow up to be a loyal and obedient dog but i just want to make sure that we do all we can to ensure this. Thanks.

My Rottie is now 3 months old and does wee a little when excited but he does try to make his way to the back garden as he has been taught (well still in teaching). He is only just getting into not pooing in the night and he doesn't cry/bark through the night. Brilliant! He gets plenty of excercise and is very much loved... However I have been told that there must be only 1 dominant person in control of the dog. We are a family of 4 adults - mam, dad, me (daughter) and my boyfriend. My boyfriend stays with the dog through the day and the rest of us spend as much of the day with the dog as we can. However my mam and dad are mam and dad to the dog but we all play the same role as we all feed him, bath, walk and play with him equally. Do you think this is the wrong thing to do? Should there just be the one person being the dominant one? And will my puppy try to dominate me and my mam as we are female? Thanks for your time and would love a reply. P.S We all play tug-of-war with him however we don't let it get rough and stop when it feels right. My Rottie is quite placid. Write back soon Thanks Agree with the info you have provided.
