I just finished watching an episode of Cesar Millan´s Dog Whisperer on Animal Planet and one of the cases was a rottweiler adoption.
Have to say what a great TV program this is.
A lady found two rottweiler puppies that where somehow abandoned on the street and decided to take them home. Talking about instant rottweiler adoption...
This lady was living with her sister and a little daughter. Anyway she had great problems controlling the high energy of the rottweiler puppies and was starting to have concerns because they could hurt her little daughter.
When Cesar came in to help he showed them how to be a pack leader, how to command energy and give the same corrections that a mother rottie would give them.
What a great exemple on what it takes to be a rottweiler owner. As we always say, be firm without hitting or yelling to your rottweiler.
Anyway if you want to take a look at a clip of this rottweiler adoption case and get a glimpse on how one should behave in order to become the pack leader, then click on the link below.

Have a good one,

Rottweiler attacks
Some people are scared about rottweilers because they may have heard some media reports about rottweiler attacks.
These stories about rottweiler attacks are always talking bad about the breed and do not take into consideration single specific situations in which rottweiler attacks might have occured.
Three weeks ago I was talking with a man who owns a female rottweiler and lives in a fenced house with a big backyard.
One day he forgot his keys of the fence door and had to jump over it in order to get into his yard. The first thing I asked him was "hey you have a rottweiler, rotties are great guard dogs why didn´t you call your dog so she knew it was you"?
To this he replied that he thought that the dog would be in the backyard of the house, chained and therefore not able to be in the front. No worries about rottweiler attacks.
As soon as he jumped over the fence and walked a couple of steps, his rottie came out of nowhere and bit his leg. "Hey hey hey it´s me" he was screaming and then his rottie let go of him looking away knowing she did something wrong.
And then he went to the hospital to get some stiches. The doctor asked what kind of attack it was and he replied my rottweiler attack and told the story.
The weeks after the incident he recalled that his dog was always sniffing the leg where she bit and looking at the owner with her head down as if she wanted to say "I´m sorry".
So next time you hear about rottweiler attacks be sure to investigate what happened and see if the rottweiler attacks was the dog´s fault or a person´s fault.
You´ll be surprised that normally you´ll find a human error.
All the best,
Andy & Dinna
P.S Part of having a well behaved rottie is getting him trough a good obedience course. You can check your local area for a trainer or you can start your online education by going here:

Same breed, different instincts
When you think about a certain breed of dogs people tend to associate certain traits to it.
For exemple, rotties are good guard dogs, are very friendly with their owners,...
Setters are good hunting dogs, difficult to train and so on...
But even inside a specific breed there could be differences.
Two months ago I was talking with a friend who has a male German Shepherd. Last summer his parents traveled with the dog to a remote region of Greece where there were a lot of sheeps running around freely.
Although the dog never saw any sheeps previously in his life he immediately proceeded to group them as if he did this his entire life. Amazing how his instincts were so strong considering that nobody ever taught him how to do this.
Three weeks ago I told this same story to another owner of a female German Shepherd. And you know what his comments were? "Oh no, I can´t leave my dog alone with sheeps because she would kill them"
Same breed - German Shepherd - Two different behaviors. Interesting
With rottweilers you can also find differences. Some have a high pray instinct, others not. Some are friendly with people others not so much.
Keep this in mind and get to know your rottie as much as you can!!

Rottweiler psychologist
Believe it or not nowdays there is a profession that is increasing at a great speed.
We are talking about dog psychologists.
These so called experts (sometimes they are but not always) come from different fields such as veterinary, psychology and so on.
The problems that are faced most of the time are aggression due to dominance, separation anxiety, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders.
But you know what is interesting about most of the problems?
The one who should change the behavior first is the owner not the dog.
Most of the time all the above described problems are generated by spoiling the dogs too much, thinking about the dog in human terms (this is when you think that dogs have the same mindset as people) or treating them badly by not giving them enough space, excercise, fun/play time and so on.
So if you ever should face one of these problems with your rottie think about what YOU can change first before seeing a dog psychologist.
Now go have some fun with your best friend,

I don´t want him to be nice, I want him to be bad
A while ago on a trip to a northeastern region here in Brazil we ended up in a bar that was right in front of the beach.
The owner had two beautiful mixed dogs that looked like a mixture between a lab and a coocker spaniel.
These two dogs were always interacting with the bar clients and having a great time.
Speaking with the owner he told us he just got a german shepherd puppy from a friend and asked if we wanted to see him.
This beautiful little pup was about a month old and could almost fit in the palm of your hand.
When we asked the owner if the pup would soon join the other two dogs he said "no, I will keep him chained, I don´t want him to be nice like the other two, I want him to be a mean guard dog".
Hmmmm, this is exactly how you should NOT treat your guard dog.
We are using this example with a german shepherd but it could very well apply to a rottie as well.
A well balanced rottie or gshepherd should be well balanced and have a guard instinct without the need of chaining him up all the time.
He will have an incredible judgment of when to be friendly and when the owner needs protection.
Believe it.
Chaining him up all the time will only backfire at you.
So here is the tip for the day, don´t keep your rottie chained too often, no dog likes to be chained.

Rottweiler caring
Today we are going over the subject of giving your rottie a bath.
Before going into details on how to do it we would like you to remember that dogs, unlike humans, do not need to bath very often.
What do we mean by "often"? Unless your rottie is rolling in the mud on a frequent basis you should give a bath only once a month.
You see dogs have self cleaning substances in their coats and if we give baths too often then we deprive them of this auto protection.
Conclusion: too many baths = your rottie stinks more.
Now that you know the frequency let us show you te main steps of the bathing process:
1. Test the water to be neither cold nor warm. Lukewarm is best.
2. Put a good amount of shampoo to care of all the dirt, then rinse well to remove all the soap. Do not leave soap on your rottie´s coat. hint: use only dog shampoo not human as it can cause allergies.
3. If you are using a tank or tub, make sure that your rottie is secured safely.
4. Wash the head beeing careful that no shampoo goes into the eyes.
After finishing give your rottie a nice treat for behaving so well during the process.
Have fun!!!
All the best,
Andy & Dinna

Rottweiler behavior
Rottweiler behavior - First Part
Imagine having a dog that is both powerful and gentle.
Imagine that he is there to protect you but knows when someone is your friend and accepts him.
This would be a dream dog right? Well my friend welcome to the rotties world.
A well trained and balanced rottweiler will protect you from a thief trying to get to your house and at the same time know that someone is your friend because he picks up on your energy toward this person.
That´s a typical rottweiler behavior
We have seen lots of cases where rotties acted this way. That´s the good news.
The bad news is that the media almost only reports the other side of the coin. "rotties biting this" "rottweilers attacking that..." and so on...
To learn how to have a balance rottie you must know how to handle him, respect him and be very very firm.
The results will be priceless...
Have a great time with your best friend
