what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a rottweiler?

Question

can u also tell me bahavioral informations of a rottweiler?

Answer 1

I do not know if the following is true or false. But I have heard it from more than one person.

When the skull of a rottie stops growing, the brain does not. Eventually the pressure on their brain will send them insane, if it doesn't kill them first.

Again... this *could* be a myth. I do not know.

Answer 2

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Answer 3

I agree with everyone else- they are very loyal, but they can be overly protective. My aunt had two at one point. I didn't see this mentioned, but they eat ALOT.

Also, depending on whether you rent or own your home:

Your insurance might go up (most have a list of breeders that are "unsafe" in their opinion) or if you rent some places might not allow a larger dog or certain breeds.

Someone I worked with had a female Rott and a male Chihuahua. They got along great and the female was very mild mannered.

I think it's all in how you train them. Good luck!

Answer 4

Advantages: all of the above mentioned (loyal etc). Mine have funny little quirks and antics that are funny to watch. In the winter- they put off alot of cuddly body heat!!

Disadvantages: THE hair, drool, sometimes pretty stubborn, can be difficult for a passive person to handle. You definately have to establish pack order w/ these guys ( NOT by PHYSICAL FORCE). Insurance, and you get alot of "looks" when your out walking.

For me the good things with my dogs outweigh the bad by a landslide. I realize they aren't for everyone though.

Answer 5

Advantages- Protective, Caring, Playful, Feared by alot of poeple, so i doubt too many people would mess with you.
Disadvantages-Territorial, Shed alot, Drool Alot,

Depending on the dog, and how many other dogs you have in your house, Rotts can be a very good pet. Alot of people say not to have them around kids and stuff like that, but every one I have owned are fine with kids.

Overall, Rotts are fun loving good dogs!

Answer 6

The advantages of having a rottweiler are that they are very loyal and make good pets. The disadvantages are that people aren't going to want to get close to you're house without it barking at them, unless you train it not to bark at people.

Answer 7

Go here for an awesome dog training program http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?hqkE

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn t going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don t be one of them.

Answer 8

Great dogs!!

However your insurance rates may increase. They are overbred and you may not get the best even if you pay a fortune for the dog. Check rescues where they already know about each dog.

Tell them the personality you need and make the right match.

Answer 9

These dogs were originally herding dogs. They are excellent family pets, friendly, loyal, and protective. They are NOT like some breeds that have an aggressive disposition and are likely to turn. Treat the dog good and it will love and protect you forever!
