Rottweiler Training
To avoid any unsocial or aggressive behaviour, early and effective training is essential for Rottweiler puppies, as is ample socialization with other dogs and humans. Key components to healthy Rottweiler training are rewards and consistency. When it comes to the latter, establish a feeding and bathroom schedule that’s the same each day, taking your puppy to their same location each time to do its business. Crate training is often a challenge with Rottweiler puppies, as they don’t like to be left alone in a confined space. The more time you spend with the Rottie—and the less time it spends alone —during the critical training phase, the better. Along with potty training, the early teaching of the basic commands—sit, down, stay and come—are best learned through repetition and rewards.
Selecting a Rottweiler Puppy
Rottweiler Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
