What to Know Before Buying a Rottweiler Puppy

 

This article is for anyone who has a Rottweiler or plans to get one. You will learn all you need to about this powerful and large breed. While rottweiler puppies for $500 can be calm and intelligent, they may also become aggressive when they encounter people or dogs with whom they have no history.

When properly socialized as puppies and continued until the age of three years, they make excellent family pets. Exercise your Rottweiler in both a physical and mental sense. Play games like tug-of-war or fetch to drain the energy. Also, it is important to offer mental challenges. Come, sit down, stay and other training exercises are important to promote healthy growth.

 

Rottweilers guard dogs are by nature. This is what they are bred for. It is important to start training your Rottweiler pup as soon as you can. If you haven't yet purchased your Rottweiler puppy, I suggest that you check out breeders before purchasing your dog. Socialization should start at the age 3 weeks. They can smell and feel even though they cannot see or hear. Breeders who understand the importance of socialization will make sure that the puppies are handled by many different people. You will be ahead of the competition if you select this breeder.

By the time your Rottie puppy reaches 12 weeks of age, he has already established the behavior pattern he will adopt as he grows up.

It is important to realize that Rottweilers are very confident and will act as dogs would, which is not always a good thing. If you don't teach him where and when he can express his natural instincts before he reaches adolescence (5 months to 3 year old), your dog will not be able to fully fulfill it. Barking, digging and peeing will get him into trouble. They are a big problem for families with small children, because of their sheer size. This large, muscular breed can cause injury to children if they are not taught to sit down before greeting people and to approach them gently and slowly in order to avoid collisions.

You now know what a magnificent breed is. I will help you train him or her. It's easier than you think. In my forty years with dogs at home, I've trained many dogs. A large number were Rottweilers or Rottweiler puppies. No matter what age your dog is or which breed it may be, all you need to do to train them are four simple commands.

You can learn more about these four commands, and how to teach them to your dog quickly, by clicking the link at this article's end. All the dogs I train are trained using these four commands. If you are willing to put in the effort to train your dog and yourself, then you can also have a well-trained dog. My dogs are 97% reliable off-leash, even though I train them for only 15 minutes a day. If someone tells you you can achieve 100% reliability without a leash, I would say that your dog is asleep.
