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.

The Rottweiler might not be the right choice for everyone, including the first time dog owner. This breed requires great care and training to become the loyal, protective pets current owners know. In addition to normal behavioral problems, Rottweilers also require an excellent diet and good veterinary care to prevent certain health risks, and often treating their various health problems can prove to be quite costly. So it makes sense to have a health insurance policy for your Rottweiler to take care of these costs.

Proper Rottweiler training to rid this breed of any behavioral problems is not difficult, as the breed like to please it's owners. Rottweilers are well loved for the companionship they give their owners and they are very affectionate and loyal.

Rottweiler problem behavior is something that concerns owners who have little children in the home, or elderly people and even those that are not strong enough to withstand the size and strength of the Rottweiler. They also have certain behavioral problems that are not too worrisome because they are nothing worse than trying to bully others, or trying to domineer them. However, Rottweiler training should see them lose these irritating behaviors though their size too is a problem.

One common Rottweiler problem behavior is that of bumping and also trying to herd people, which are characteristic of this working type breed. Another Rottweiler problem behavior is that of being destructive and generally it will dig up the ground and chew on whatever it can sink its teeth into. The situation is its worst when the Rottweiler is either a puppy or in early adulthood and thus requires timely and proper Rottweiler training to get it to come out of such problematic behavior. It is also recommended to crate train the Rottweiler in its infant stage and also ensuring that the Rottweiler is confined when the owner is away.

Basically, Rottweilers are calm as well as confident and blessed with plenty of courage and are also very self-assured. It all adds up to the fact that there are not really any Rottweiler problem behaviors that will give rise to cause for concern, and whatever problems do arise are more of an individual thing rather than Rottweiler specific related.

It is however necessary to ensure that Rottweiler training is given to your pet, especially if you want to put it in the show ring, and you also need to realize that the best way of overcoming Rottweiler problem behaviors is to give it a lot of care and attention and to impart early training so that it behaves well around not only you, but around other people and also other dogs.

In fact, if you put in your time and effort into training your Rottweiler, it will pay you back with a life filled with devotion and loyal companionship.
