REVISIONS:
*I use a crate to train with. It is the method I prefer, compared to other methods I have tried. While personally, the crate traumatizes me, (it looks like a doggie jail), my puppies do better in the crate. They like it, I guess for the den like feeling, but I noticed that if they are in the crate, while I am doing chores, they are o.k., because the crate allows them to see me and be re-assured. The crate can also be a comfort when stored in the basement for dogs who live in areas where thunderstorms and tornados are an issue. It is a safe secure place for them. However, use the method that works best for you.....a laundry basket, a cardboard box, a woof-woof house, child gates......whatever works for you.
*Bedrooms, I use the bedroom and living room for training, because it works for me. Choose rooms that work for you, but watch for rooms that are damp, or drafty. While my puppies sleep in the bedroom during training, once they are trained, I let them sleep where they want to. They don't have to sleep in the bedroom forever.
*Treats. While I use treats for training, you don't have to. I like Charlee Bears for training (a little cracker for a little mouth,) I use them for training, but once they are trained, I cut back on them. Although I use them to give pills too. I used different treats for different things. We use one bone at bedtime to let the dogs know it is time to go to bed. We use a big rawhide for when we go on long trips, so they have a bone to amuse them, and they will be expected to hold their potty. When they get the rawhide, they will not eat their food and water, until we get home from our trip. (dogs are funny) Do what works best for you.
*Some puppies will go potty in the same spot each time. Some puppies litterally have to be told to go potty. A command like ';go out'; for #1, or ';go finish'; for #2 might work for you. This is a good thing to train if you travel with your dogs. By using commands, the puppy won't get confused when you are visiting someone, on vacation with you, or when you get to a new home. The command will tell them what you want them to do in an unfamilar place.
*Yelling. It is not a good idea to ';yell'; or ';spank'; your puppy and then take them outside when they have an accident. They may get confused and think that going outside is punishment. While you want to correct them, if you are extreme, they may not want to go outside again.
*Sometimes it seems like you take your puppy out 5 million times a day. You can sit on a bench, or folding chair, or a 5 gallon bucket turned upside down to stay in the shade. I use an umbrella for shade too. You can always tape your favorite tv shows. In the winter I micorwave a gel pack heating pad, (sold at walmart in the pharmacy, made by Kaz, I think.) I put the heating pad under my jacket so I won't freeze to death. In the summer, I freeze bottles of water, so we can grab one real fast on our way out the door. I have a mini back pack by the door I can just grab with doggie treats, a flash light, a rubber band for my hair when the wind is bad, etc. Do what works for you.
*Time lines. Keep it real. Puppies train at their own pace, so while your last 2 dogs may have trained faster, this puppy might take longer. Training is all about routines, and repeating yourself. It is about rewarding good behaviors, and correcting bad ones. If you have a set back, shake it off, and keep going. Good luck.I need an advice about the temperament of the rottweiler %26amp; about the bad habits of doing **** inside home?
I am not too sure about what kind of **** you are talking about.
Rotties are working dogs, and are not couch potatoes.
you need to exercise daily, and provide mental stimulation as well as physical exercise, and discipline.
they need a strong firm hand, (not punishment or abuse!), and calm assertive leadership.
do not yell, or hit, or become overly excited, or upset.
they will pick up on this, and become overly stimulated, which could lead to some ugly interaction, and possibly bites.
I do not recommend this breed for first time or beginning dog ownders, or inexperienced hands.
they are for experienced dog handlers, and trainers, and those who have a total understanding of the breed and handliing skills must be excellent.
I suggest you volunteer at the local shelter, rescue or aspca where one can get experience under supervision. also, talk to a handler, or breeder and learn and get more hands on experience if possible with them.I need an advice about the temperament of the rottweiler %26amp; about the bad habits of doing **** inside home?
I own a rott and when younger so sweet. Now 4 years old and will tear a door down if someone knocks on it. She will not bite but you would not know this coming up to door. Now, Most of my clients have the same problem with Rotts tearing things up when there not around or acting up. You have to treat them the same as your 8 year old. Disipline and Training. The Shock Collar is not something I would reccommend to everyone but I used if to train mine and have used them on other agressive animals. Good Luck
Temperament depends on individual dog and training. If this is a pup, meeting the parents, will likely give you some idea about temperament.
Not sure what you are asking about, with bad habits in house.
uh, you have to train them
