Rottweiler Training Tactics That Work

By David Lamb


For easy Rottweiler training, you need to be adaptable in your training strategies. Being versatile with your training will help you when your pet is struggling to learn. This will help you tweak the methods to fit your dog until you figure out what is ideal for him. To help you obtain your objectives of having a healthy, happy and obedient dog, there are some training strategies that may work for you.

The key to house training a new puppy is consistency. Remember that when he's with his mother, he can relieve himself each time he has to, so it may need a little while for him to master that he should wait for someone to bring him outdoors to go to the toilet. Whenever you take your pup out to go to the bathroom, you ought to be patient with him. He has a short attention span and may get distracted by sounds and smells, or want to play. This is typical puppy habit and must not be punished, especially while he's still learning.

When you are training a dog, it is very important that you never use physical punishment when the dog reacts negatively or incorrectly. Hitting your four-legged friend will not train him to listen to you; it will only teach him to be fearful of you. It could even train him to become aggressive towards people.

To become successful in Rottweiler training, you ought to ensure that your dog has these vital needs met: food, water, shelter and exercise. Dogs must feel they have a calm and confident pack leader, for them to feel more secure. When you exercise with your dogs, they learn to obey you and they build their trust in you as leader. This helps the dogs to be more responsive to commands, when you train them. The same holds true with food, water and shelter. Devoid of food or water, he won't have energy to perform several tasks and without shelter, he's more likely to feel stressed. All animals need to have these needs. If your pet doesn't have appropriate amount of any of these needs, then your training strategies will be ineffective (and you shouldn't have a pet).

Remember that you are not going to have a perfectly trained dog overnight. Changing behaviors is a lengthy process that will involve lots of successes and a lot of setbacks. If you are not training from a puppy, the process can take even longer as your dog will need to both unlearn negative behaviors and learn new ones. Be patient and you'll start to see results.
