Picture of Rottweiler page The Rottweiler is a big German dog. He can be quite dangerous at times. This breed is often trained to become security dogs. If you want a Rottie as a domestic pet, you can train him accordingly, and you will be surprised to discover how loving and lovable he is. The Rottweiler is a versatile dog that excels in several fields: he is hardy and sturdy, eager to perform and easy to train. Just make sure you treat him with respect and consistency. He is overly loyal and protective; powerful, yet soft and loving; and likes to maintain a safe distance from strangers, but is playful and loving with his family. In short, the Rottie is the typical “tough guy with a heart of gold.”

Your Rottweiler puppy should be well socialized when you bring him home. First get him to meet your family and slowly introduce strangers as well. After he gets used to you all, you can take him out to public places. Soon he will get accustomed to unfamiliar sights and sounds.

Rotties are easily distracted, so, start teaching him in a quiet place. Teach him the basic commands that include come, sit, stay, down and heel. Gradually, take him to other places where he encounters distractions. It is also a good idea to train him with another person once in a while to help him get accustomed to dealing with others. You will have to go slow with the training exercise to make sure he grasps everything well.

Dogs have to be given a daily dose of obedience. If you don't maintain their skills, they will revert to their old self and stop paying attention. Then you will have to start all over again from the beginning. You will need to repeat the basic commands everyday; only then you can expect your dog to behave like a gentleman that will make you proud of him.

Don’t expect too much from him too soon. Go slow and give him enough time to grasp each step. The secret of training lies in being patient and persistent. Also be consistent in what you say and do. Teach each command the same way every time. Do not lose your patience with the dog, as he will not understand what you are doing. Don’t forget to reward him for obeying your command properly.
