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!

Rottweilers are at times a misinterpreted breed. Due to many tragic experiences, people view this dog as ferocious and out of control. But the reality is this powerful and intelligent breed treads on a fine line between being protective and vicious.  The key is proper and firm training from their handlers or owners.  The breed may bite if it is threatened by an external factor and if it fears something.

If carefully socialized, their ability to discriminate what is a danger or not is inhibited so it may become overly protective and lash out.  “Fear-biting” is when it bites not an act of defense but a reaction of being afraid. Obedience training and proper socialization is the best way to avoid any disasters. Experienced owners should establish their leadership with respectful and non-harsh techniques as to not let the breed take the top rank in the chain of command or lose its dignity and shy away from everything.

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!!

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Also, dog training is an integral part of a working dog’s life for them to be able to assist humans in activities like hunting and police work. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All dog training is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Rottweiler puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your Rottweiler as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your Rottweiler  dog, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.

I just stumbled upon this beauty. I cannot remember the last time… if ever… I have seen such a great looking pup. You could easily mistaken him head with a bear. Could it be any “blockier”?
