How do you raise a Rottweiler puppy?

raigafan18 · May 2021

I'm about to get my own place and I want to raise a Rottweiler pup. I think they're gorgeous dogs potential to be sweet and gentle. What do I need to do to get the results I'm after?

Thanks

1. Let it meet plenty of people: friends, family and randoms in the park (this will stop it being people aggressive)

2. Let it meet other dogs: preferably dogs that you know or people can vouch for. (this will stop it being dog aggressive)

3. Talk him/her on plenty of walks. (this will make him/her less destructive, in general and with regards to hyper activeness)

4. Train him/her as soon as possible. Basics: Sit, stay, come, no. (this secures the bond between master and dog, and ensures you're in control)

5. Maybe take training classes if this is your first dog.

6. Play with and love your dog, you now got a new best friend and brother/sister.

a rottweiler turns out to be quite a big dog, so you might need a shock collar to train him to behave properly, a small not high voltage electric fence (it can be cheap and installed at a dogs midsection height or can be installed underground and when passed with the shockcollar on will continuously shock the dog untill the dog is inside the area you have placed the wires in), make sure there is no way for a dog to get out of a yard, chain, collar, leash, harness (rotweilers are very strong and can get out of a collar easy, this makes it easier to keep a hold of him), a kennel or respected sleeping area,

Rottweiler's being a large dog eat quite a lot and can be expensive to feed, if you add to that the vet bills they are quite expensive

But all dogs are worth it

My uncle had 2. one(male) was very protective of him(but not mean just to mean people) and the other(female)was a total sweetie. Just maybe sign your puppy up for puppy training so it can be trained at a young age to listen to you. Also get little puppy toys and puppy bones for him/her so they can chew on something when teething. Make sure you get him/her from a good breeder. if poorly trained you can get a dog thats very aggressive or with some health problems. also try getting a puppy from a shelter(save a life) i got my puppy in the shelter and its the best feeling ever. look for one on petfinder.com or adoptapet.com. Socilize a lot espically when puppy bring him/her to the park and dog park go for walks around the block bring him/her to fairs. so it can be nice with other people to. hope it help;)
