The Proper Way To Care For A Rottweiler Puppy

After selecting your new pet you are going to be beginning a life long relationship with your new Rottweiler pup and the breeder you are buying them from. The Rottweiler pup is a handful and will require your constant attention for at least the first two years of their life since this is when they are developing their character and it is a critical time period in the puppy's development.

The Rottweiler is easy to train but they are also a bit slow. Not in the mental sense, rather the Rottweiler wants to see how much they can get away with before they need to comply with your commands. Therefore, after you establish that you are in charge you will find it easy to train your Rottweiler pup as long as you treat them right. You should never bully your Rottweiler pup. Bad training can lead to behavioral problems and doesn't necessarily mean abuse and harsh behavior, but it can also mean soft and indecisive training.
The first thing you should teach your Rottweiler pup is house training. You will initially notice that your Rottweiler pup needs to go to the bathroom every two to three hours. The best way to house train your Rottweiler pup is to crate them and as soon as you let them out lead them to the littering place. Just remember that training a Rottweiler pup requires a lot of patience and control. If you handle the training well then ideally by six months you will have a Rottweiler pup that is completely house trained.

When training your Rottweiler pup you need to be aware that they like to use their mouth a lot. Therefore they will bite and sometimes pretty hard on whatever they can get into their mouth including your feet, hands, furniture and anything that drops on the floor. It is extremely important to train your Rottweiler pup to stop these behaviors before they become a habit for the dog.
Whenever you notice your Rottweiler pup biting things you should admonish them in order to train them out of the habit. If your Rottweiler pup doesn't react to your pained vocal commands when they bite you then tap them with a rolled newspaper which should be sufficient enough to deter any further attempts at biting you or other people. You won't have complete control over your Rottweiler pup for at least two years and before this it can be hard to restrain a Rottweiler pup so you should not have any small children around at this time. The youngest child that can be near a Rottweiler pup is at least seven years old. No matter what the age of the child you should never place them in charge of the Rottweiler pup since the dog will sense their inexperience to control them and immediately act up. There is a lot of work that goes into training a Rottweiler pup but it is worth the effort, as you will gain a lifetime companion in return.

Raising Rottweiler puppies requires proper house training. Rottweiler puppy care involves teaching them from a young age.
