The Rottweiler is not a problematic breed nor should it be tagged as threatening breed. However, it is not strange for a Rottweiler to develop various behavior problems. Such problems are typical among various dog breeds, whether it be large or small. While these behavior issues are annoying if not distracting, they could be eliminated through Rottweiler training.
If your dog barks and growls at visitors in your house, do this: leash your pet dog, make him sit, wait until his attention is on you, and give the leash, in full view of the dog, to your guest. Then wait until the pet is relaxed once more, with the guest giving commands as needed. This shows the dog that your visitor ranks above him in "the pack" and he ought to accept them. When the pet starts to react once again, do the exercise again.
To break your dog of improper habits such as jumping, the best strategy is to ignore him, for just a short period! Dogs don't truly understand yelling in a situation like that. But if you turn your back on him and dismiss further interaction, he will get the concept that he has done something that breaks connection with you. And we all know that dogs desire nothing but their owner's interest and love.
Nipping is a normal behavior among dogs especially puppies however, the behavior could turn to biting if not tackled early. An effective way to stop a puppy from biting is to act hurt when he or she nibbles at you. By startling your puppy with a sound and leaving the area, your pup starts to find out that biting has negative outcome in the form that you'll cease playing with him.
Whatever behavior issue your canine friend has, it isn't a great idea to reprimand him excessively. If your dog performs a poor behavior in front of you, keep your cool and redirect his behavior to a more suitable source. For example, dogs who inappropriately soil the house needs to be calmly brought outside and walked until he does his business once more. Reinforce going outside as a positive thing, instead of screaming regarding the dirt.
Bear in mind that Rottweiler training takes time and patience. Some dogs pick up things promptly, while others take longer. Each individual dog will have their own learning speed, so make sure to be aware of what your dog's pace is. Try to be as positive as possible when dealing with him so that he thinks it is a fun activity to do with you and will look forward to your training sessions.
