Rottweiler is the oldest breed, which turned out to be natural, without the crossing and work of geneticists. This is an average large dog, with a massive body and an uneasy temper. The character of the rottweiler is conditioned by his upbringing and if from the first months of his life he is accustomed to the necessary behavior, then later he will become a reliable friend and protector.
Planting a small rottweiler, it is worth considering that this is a dog of one master. She certainly will take and respect the host family, but you can only manage. She feels strength, but education with one whip will not pass.
By nature he is a friendly and peace-loving dog, he is very devoted to his master, easy to manage, obedient, and workable. Has strong nerves, balanced, curious to the outside world. An evil Rottweiler can be from improper education, or if this is what you trained to be your training. The worked skills of the dog work without fail, and therefore do not neglect its training.
Rottweiler education at home
To train this breed of dog is not easy, but if you do take on this business, then you need to consider several basic principles:
- Training Rottweiler from the first days. As soon as the puppy enters the threshold of your house, take up education, do not wait for the baby to grow up, otherwise it will be uncontrollable;
- Constant attention to the dog. Give the pet half a year of your life and you will not find a more faithful animal;
- Patience. Rottweiler, like children, can be naughty, inattentive. You can not always blame him. Have patience and perseverance in training;
- More gingerbread, less stick. You need to scold only in special cases, when the puppy really was guilty, at the same time immediately after the offense, and not after the time. Praise is always necessary and for any reason. The first year always carry a treat.
A little more on how to train a Rottweiler
Rottweiler - the dog is intelligent, and therefore as soon as the puppy gets home, he will begin to grasp the various trifles. So in 2-3 days he gets used to your voice, he recognizes who is the owner and remembers the nickname. The Rottweiler quickly remembers the sound of a knock on his plate and even a sleepy one can rush into the kitchen. This skill can be used when training the "To Me" team.
Start practicing this team on the street, repeating for a walk 4-5 times. Treat the puppy with a delicacy as soon as he executes the command. Do not shout if the Rottweiler training fails, be patient.
From 4 months the growing dog has a period of independence, and he can ignore your commands. To do this, use the trick to attract attention - sit down or clap your hands. If this also does not help, turn around in the opposite direction and go without losing the dog from the view. It is necessary to ensure that the dog itself came to you. After he comes up - do not scold the disobedience, but, on the contrary, praise that he still fulfilled the command.
If the command "To me" does not work, then you have to work it out with a long leash. In addition, the team must be associated with a gesture: the right hand easily descends to the hip (no cotton).
Rottweiler and children
