I'm getting a puppy on Tuesday. Fuck, I'm excited.
Funny you bring Rottweilers up. I've been thinking about Rottweilers lately and wondering if that should be my next dog. I just had to put my old boy, a Turkish Kangal, down last Tuesday. I'm so sad over him. I don't think I'm ready for another dog yet, but I like what i'm learning about Rotties. I like a kickass dog because I like for a dog to be able to be a protector. Also, if a dog assails us while on a walk, I want to be confident that he can handle himself. I like an intelligent dog, a dog eager to please, and a dog that can handle hot summers reasonably well. By the way, I love that face.As a fellow dog lover, congrats Sherbro.
I hope you got a Rottweiler, best dog ever.
Monty turns 8 on May 13th. It sucks though cause average lifespan is 8-10 years. He's in excellent health though and weighs 120 lbs, which is the exact middle of the 110-130 lbs breed standard for males.
Loyal, smart, fun, aloof with strangers, and great with other animals from squirrels to birds, to cats and dogs, male or female.
I'll never own a different breed again.
you use to piss and shit your diaper bro. Stop the hate. Bring the love.Have fun cleaning up piss.
I still piss and shit myself. Diapers are for weirdos.you use to piss and shit your diaper bro. Stop the hate. Bring the love.
I love Rottweilers and had a mixed bred one as a kid. She looked like a killer but was super lovable to any person she encountered. Any other animal was a no-go for her though. Really wish I socialized her better but I think I was too dumb at that point.

Always great getting a puppy you will not regret it a second
One thing that we did with the dog is we never put those pad things down on the ground. people say it trains them to go to the toilet in the house. If you keep running out with him when he's trying to go to the toilet eventually he will just bark at the door when he needs to go. That's one thing that helped me,My hands regretted it the first day. Holy shit his teeth are sharp.
The thing I'm worried about and I probably shouldn't be is leaving him in his crate when I'm gone. Going to try and work on that over the next week and beyond so he knows he's OK with being alone for a bit. He has been in it for car rides and has done great. Just lays down and doesn't make a sound and eventually falls asleep. I brought the crate in today to start training inside and he's picked up on it well so far. Did three training sessions with him today where I just tossed his food and treats inside of it with encouragement. Closing the door a few times, leaving it open, etc. At the end of each I've closed the door and gave him a nice reward of treats/food at the end. First time he did not whine at all. Second and third he just whined for like 15 seconds then settled in. Here he is now on a Kong toy stuffed with food.
If you have any tips let me know, I'm all ears.
