How to take care of your Rottweiler

Big Dog | April 11th, 2010

If you want to own a Rottweiler or you already have one, it is important to know how to train and socialize them in a proper way. Rottweilers are good-natured, placid in basic disposition, fond of children, very devoted, obedient, biddable and most of all, they are very eager to work.

These breeds are basically calm, confident and courageous with a self-assured aloofness that does not lent itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendship. Rottweilers love their people and may behave in a clownish manner toward family and friends, but they are also protective of their territory and do not welcome strangers until they are properly introduced to them.

If you want to know more about your Rottweiler, you may find help through Rottweiler for Dummies and learn how to educate your pet, maintain good health, proper exercise and diet and handle behavioral problems. This will also provide you information on how to socialize your pet and have them participate in dog competitions.

Are all dog foods good for Rottweilers?

Like all living things, the Rottweiler needs to eat to be able to uphold its reputation of being a very powerful and imposing dog. It is important they not eat dog food that is made of bad meats and all these pseudo-protein mixes which can make the dog sick. Ask veterinarians for help in knowing the good brands. Owner can even spice it up by making it dry or wet, adding vegetables such as carrots to give some more nutrients.

Always have water nearby and accessible. It is very important that food intake be monitored. Food shouldn’t just be poured into a gigantic bowl and allow them to eat all they want. Rottweiler’s will literally stuff themselves until their bellies become so hard. This may lead them to the vet and even have their stomachs pumped. Also, giving them too much nutrients will cause their growth to accelerate, leading to hip and joint problems. So like the ole diet saying goes: “You can eat what you want but in moderation”.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

The Best Leash In Town!

Big Dog | May 26th, 2009

Hi Rotti owners, I’m writing to tell all of you about some awesome products I’ve just gotten my paws on. The maker of the products is called Dean ‘N’ Tyler or “D&T” for short and they are known in the market for making some of the highest-quality, fashionable and durable accessories for dogs – particularly larger dogs.

As an owner of a large dog, I know it can be a little difficult to not only find stuff that fits and holds up to every day wear-and-tear, but also to find products that don’t make my dog look like a canine version of Paris Hilton.

So I had the chance to try out D&T’s leashes and collars. I must say the collars are absolutely stunning. They’re made from the highest-quality leather and hand-crafted materials and they come in so many different styles. I was able to find one orangish-tan leather that match my dogs coloring perfectly and looked stunning on her!

But then the real treat… the leather leash I received is my new favorite toy. I’m not even joking. You see, it has two clips, where a standard nylon leash only has one. Now I know I probably don’t have to tell you that those retractable wire leashes aren’t going to hold up to a pull from a strong dog – for a D&T leash this is no problem. You’re going to have this leash forever, but think about the possibilities for walking, training and everyday life with a duel-clasp leash!!

When I’m walking Marley with the leash “long,” and she starts to get a bit antsy or pull a little, I can double hook the leash to shorten it up a bit. When we’re “being casual” I can, if you can believe it, put the leash over my shoulder almost like a purse strap! I even had one trainer-friend inform me that the leash can cross over your chest safely and effectively. It’s great for training; it’s even great if you have to run into a store and attach the leash around a pole or tree and back to itself.

Your dog’s going to look great, you’re going to feel great knowing everything is durable and safe, and the best part is you’re going to find a new level of function that makes walking and training so much fun!!

I can’t rave enough. Anyway, I’ve convinced D&T to let you guys try it out too – all you have to do is give them code “heels09” from now until July and you’ll receive 10% off any purchase. (They also make really great Muzzles and Harnesses). Please let us know what you think of your new-found doggie duds!!
