Once you have selected your Rottweiler pup you will be starting a life long relationship with your new Rottweiler pup. A Rottweiler pup is typically very active and will require your constant attention for the first two years of their life since this is the most critical part of their life when they are developing their character.

While easy to train, the Rottweiler can also be a bit slow. This doesn’t mean the Rottweiler isn’t a smart animal, rather it just means they want to see how much they can get away with before they need to comply to your commands. Therefore, it is easy to train your Rottweiler pup after you establish that you are in charge as long as you treat them right.

The first thing you should teach your Rottweiler pup is house training. You will initially notice that your Rottweiler pup needs to go to the bathroom every two to three hours. The best way to house train your Rottweiler pup is to crate them and as soon as you let them out lead them to the littering place.

You will need a lot of patience and control to train your Rottweiler pup. Ideally by six months you will have a Rottweiler pup that is completely house trained if you handle the training well.

When training your Rottweiler pup you need to be aware that they like to use their mouth a lot. Therefore they will bite and sometimes pretty hard on whatever they can get into their mouth including your feet, hands, furniture and anything that drops on the floor. It is extremely important to train your Rottweiler pup to stop these behaviors before they become a habit for the dog.

Whenever you notice your Rottweiler pup biting things you should admonish them in order to train them out of the habit. If your Rottweiler pup doesn’t react to your pained vocal commands when they bite you then tap them with a rolled newspaper which should be sufficient enough to deter any further attempts at biting you or other people.

Since it can be a bit hard to restrain a Rottweiler pup and you won’t have complete control for at least two years you should not have any small children around at this time. The youngest child that should be near a Rottweiler pup is a seven or eight year old.

No matter what the age of the child you should never place them in charge of the Rottweiler pup since the dog will sense their inexperience to control them and immediately act up. There is a lot of work that goes into training a Rottweiler pup but it is worth the effort, as you will gain a lifetime companion in return.
