Rottweiler: A Great Companion

by Sharon Davies

Rottweilers are German by origin and have served their masters well from antiquity and were at first, best used to drive cattle as well as to keep guard for their masters. They are affectionately also called Rotty and Rott and are well loved by their owners and by anyone else that comes in contact with them. They are large and very strong dogs and among their Rottweiler problem behavior is the tendency for them to bully others and to be very domineering.

However, a lot of Rottweiler problem behavior has more to do with poor training and less to do with actual faults in its personality, though due to the training requirements may not be the right pet for every family especially the first time dog owner.

Besides Rottweiler problem behaviors, there are also certain health concerns that need to be considered, though these are of course not related to Rottweiler training. What’s more, to resolve the health problems that commonly affect Rottweilers can prove to be expensive and so you may even need to get health insurance for your pet.

Rottweilers can be good companions and because they are very affectionate and loyal will generally not give their owners many problems, though common areas of concern include being a bit too aggressive and destructive. There are a few questions marks concerning Rottweiler problem behaviors when it concerns old people, little children and those that are frail, though generally the Rottweiler will tolerate these groups of people quite well. However, the major problem most people face with regard to Rottweilers and which cannot be solved through Rottweiler training is their size, which can often cause inadvertent injuries to those who cannot cope with a big high bundle of energy that also has a strongly muscled body.

A Rottweiler may easily knock you down and inadvertently cause you injuries while displaying one particular Rottweiler problem behavior where it bumps and tries to herd you around. Other than that, there are no major worries regarding their behavior, though they can destroy your expensive possessions, as the Rottweiler loves to chew on everything and anything. You should thus ensure that you give your pet some Rottweiler training and remember also to deal with him in a firm manner if you want to ensure that he remains well behaved and under your control.

The calm demeanor of your Rottweiler, which also shows confidence, loyalty and protectiveness as well, will impress you. The Rottweiler dog is also well known for its courageous nature and it is not given to being very suspicious, and thus there are very few Rottweiler problem behaviors that you will need to worry about. In fact, most such problems are more individual and not breed specific to the Rottweiler in particular.

Your entire family can enjoy your Rottweiler as they are often dubbed gentle giants by most that know the breed. They are, in fact, very courageous and able to keep from suspecting others and thus will socialize well and yet because of their great size make great guard dogs.

Any Rottweiler problem behavior that you notice in your pet can easily be resolved through proper Rottweiler training, and provided you devote enough time and give it much attention, it will remain under your control and not prove to be a difficult pet to own. With proper training, a nutritional diet and quality veterinary care will ensure that your Rottweiler will live a long and happy life.
