I have just got a rottweiler puppy she is 10 weeks, are rottweilers as bad as everyone makes out?
Answers:
A dog is only as good as the training it receives! Its as simple as that. Start training as soon as you acquire a dog. Take your dog to obedience/socialising classes. Be consistent in ALL training.NEVER let your dog have the last word! You are the leader,not your dog! Good luck with her!
It depends on how you raise them. Do you think a rottweiler named "Ms. Giggles" would maul someone? Now what about a rottweiler called "Killer"? Who would you rather trust?
If you bring her up with love and attention she will turn out fine, trust me.
You're about to find out I guess!
Just don't raise her too be mean and she will be fine. I wanted a pitbull puppy but I'm not allowed to have them where I live. They have a had rep too, but it all depends on how you raise them!
your dog will be what you make. play rough the dog will be rough, gentle the dog will be gentle........
Bit too late to be worried about that.
Take her to puppy training classes twice a week and you'll have no problem.
Its essential that you do this now to socialise her and learn how to control her. Don't leave it any later.
No if you treat them rite n if u play wit dem n look afta dem properly they will be as nice as pie
No, rotties are sweet big galooths. Its how they are raised as to how they turn out. Rotties need exercise and socialization as do all dogs. starting her now is a good idea.
All Dogs if treated with love, care, and affection will turn Out to be loving dogs.
no they aren't. female's tend to bond with the entire family, whereas male's tend to bond with only one person which can be a problem. But raised right, rottweilers are very gentle, loyal, loving pets.
There's no such thing as bad dogs, only bad owners.
It all depends on how the animal is treated and raised as well as it's natural temperament.
Personally I still wouldn't have one and I would only take it out on a blooming strong leash and only if it was wearing a muzzle.
I wouldn't ever have a rottweiler as a family pet specially with kids, this breed is known for attacking people whether the person deserved it or not.
I wouldn't take the risk with my own child or anyone elses.
Why didn't you research the breeds temperament before buying it and the temperament of the mother, that should have been your first move after all all the info you could ever want is easy to find online
No - I don't think they are.
Due to their size and power when full grown they make pretty scary and effective guard dogs, but this is trained in to them - if they are raised as a family pet and disciplined if they show any signs of attack (just as you would with any pup) then they are lovely dogs. Do be aware though, because of their size, if they do have a bad turn for some reason (as any dog can) then they are capable of doing more damage than most.
Give her lots of cuddles and love, don't let her get territorial about her food, toys, the car or any particular area of the house and you should be fine.
Enjoy her - dogs are such a pleasure to own.
There is no such thing as a bad dog. Its all about the owners and how you bring them up.
Good luck with your new dog!
I firmly believe a dog, whatever their breed, is what the owner makes them. Rotties are good guard dogs and very loyal.Good choice.
you want to get her training, but I've seen some very loving rotweilers. i think it depends on the dog and the training.
no, depends on how you raise them, they can be as sweet as anything
Really they aren't. It really depends on how they are raised. I had one and had to have it put down because it got hip dysplasia, but other than that he was very sweet. He was protective of me but only if he thought someone was going to hurt me. So enjoy your new puppy, socialize it so he doesn't get aggressive and he will be a wonderful companion for you.
Rotties can be very sweet dogs.
Get into some puppy training classes and get started soon.
This will make everything much easier and will give you and your puppy time to bond and become the best of friends.
The classes really are great for socializing your pup and teaching them to look to you for guidance. That will make a large difference when she gets older and more assertive.If she knows she can look to you for help she will instead of just being pushy and assertive herself.
she must 100% obey your commands to be safe. stop-sit-come here
also, no dog should be trusted alone with a small child
NO . rotties are the best, friendly, loyal breed of dog i have ever had. if you treat them with love & respect, they will treat you with the same. i hope you have as much fun & love with your rottie as much as i have with mine. my children adored our rotties and the dogs adored the children. they are great dogs to have. but let them know your the boss
Any breed of dog can be trouble if not properly treated and trained. Rottweilers, like staffy's can be loving pets if you know what to do. First.obedience classes, they teach you how to control your pet. Make sure your dog knows you are the alpha of the pack. Your family IS the dogs pack. If you have children make sure you teach them not to mistreat or play rough with the dog and when the dog indicates a need for downtime.respect that. If you would like tips on how to make the dog believe you are alpha feel free to contact me.
Ok here the truth if you take care of the puppy the right was , there should be no problems . I have seen people not take care of there dog and it equals out to a dog that shows how it was treated and raised . Any dog can be a fighting dog , due to the fact it's how to take care of them .
I have a rottweiler of my own he is i think 3 years old in human years, you just have to teach her not to growl first. if she starts to growl smack her.she will learn fast. but sometimes you have to let them growl if your playing with them. they will get to know the size of the person and how gentle to be.
rotts and pits have "tendencies" to be aggressive. never be mean to them and treat them with nothing but love. raise them right and they will turn out just fine. maybe obedience school to. even a loving rott and pit have tendencies to be aggressive toward other dogs.
I used to have Rottweiler's before, as any dog it depends on the owner and how you raise the puppy. My granddaughter used to use them for a pillow when she took a nap. Give the puppy alot of love and attention and he or she will be just fine. You will end up with a very lovable pet who is devoted to you and your family.
LUCKY YOU!!
I had a Rottweiler. They are fantastic guard dogs and are very protective of their owners. They make brilliant pets and are great with children. Rottweilers are so soppy, not at all how they are portrayed. There is no such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners.
Absolutely not!
It is all in how they are raised and how early you get started from separation from their mother! Granted they are larger and have bigger teeth, so it may take more work than a.poodle, but it isn't hard. I think that the sex of the dog plays a part too, this is just my experience, girl dogs tend to be more lovable.but I have seen situations reversed! It also depends on where you get your dog, again this is just my experience, pet shop dogs tend to be more aggressive than from breeders or family owned dogs!
For the record, we had a poodle that we got at 1 year old and he was mean as can be, then we got a rotty pup and he is a total baby! My aunt hated dogs, but when my cousin left she took care of his rotty, now she loves her.this dog is the sweetest thing! We also have had a mean cocker spaniel because we got him from a pet shop already 9 months old, then our friend has 2 pit bulls and they are sweeties and so good with kids!
So what everyone says isn't always the case!
My 3 year old son had 9 staples a couples of months ago in the top of his head form a rottweiler.
And this was suppose to be a friendly dog.
Just for the record my son was not even bothering the dog or even near it when it pounced on him.
I also know someone else who had one and he was very friendly and just a great big teddy bear, then one day his bit the owners mother for no reason.
And yes I have heard of the saying that their are no bad dogs just bad owners. I would check out the behavior of the parents of the dog and their siblings along with any other litters. This is a kind of dog that has to have a really good family history before anyone should consider having one as a family pet.
When I bred puppies, I always told the new owner that at 2 years old they would have the type of dog they deserved, i.e. if they brought it up correctly they would have a well behaved dog, but if they let it run riot then it was their responsibility. No dog is born bad, it learns from it's owners.
