In part 1 of training your rottweiler we are going to discuss the theory behind training your rottweiler along with the benefits and rewards.

Rottweilers are by nature extremely smart and bold. This can work both for and against you in your struggle to groom your rottweiler into becoming enjoyable and loyal companions. Without the right training rottweilers can be extremely destructive (often harming owners and ripping apart anything they can find in the house), but hopefully with the help I am giving you on this site we will be able to prevent that type of behavior.

If you train your dog with the right methodologies and take good care of their health they will turn out to be well maintained, obedient, and confident at the same time. Well maintained means that they will not tear your furniture to pieces if you leave them alone in the house, and they will be in a sense potty trained (more on that later). If they are obedient it means they will let you trim their nails, give them a bath with ease, and not chase/bark after other animals if you encounter any while taking your rottie for a walk.

Rottweilers can sometimes be very aggressive and try to take over as the “alpha dog” of the family. Its important to set who is in charge, through the use of various training techniques which are in the course I outlined on the home page. This will provide you with the means to expand the training of your dog and even make it easier for you to groom him/her because they will learn that you appreciate them complying with your commands.

This is just the basic theory and what you should hope to achieve by completing a training course. It is easier if you manage to get a rottweiler puppy because then you will be able to instill the right values in him/her, while if you end up getting a fully grown one it will be harder to get them to cooperate with you. In my opinion it is very possible with the right determination and persistence.
