What are a few simple things (say first 10 or so...) you teach your k-9. Is it true that one of the things are teaching the dog to always follow and walk behind you? Please help, would really like to start teaching my 7 month old Rottweiler these things, thanks!

No, do not try to teach your puppy to walk behind you. The best thing for you would be to take your rottie to obedience classes with a highly qualified instructor who can teach you how to train your dog. This is a dog who's going to get really big, with the potential to become aggressive, and you need someone qualified to help you train him.

I have been training dogs for 7 years now. Do NOT use a choker chain!!!!! They bruise the necks bad and can damage the esophagus tube. Use a prong collar instead. They only pinch. They are not sharp and will not harm not cut your dog. Put your dog into obedience and try to find a Schutzhund Training Base in your area. If there are not Schutzhund training i your area you may try French Ring Sport. You can look them up on the internet and some websites will give you complete walk throughs to training you precious rotty puppy. Rottys are not an aggressive breed. They just need a strong hand to train them. Do not leave your dog on a chain and don't lock your dog up. Give the pup the love and attention he or she desperately deserves. LOVE is the #1 key word to training a dog. Another option is getting in touch with your local police department and talking to find out what you can do.

First, I wish to point out that on the grounds that a dog is a "K9" does no longer imply that it's a sound, well behaved canine. Unfortunately, there's no set regular for qualifications for Police puppies. Most are totally knowledgeable, good bred puppies. Some aren't. Like others have stated, puppies will likely be puppies. It does not sound as if the obstacle lies with the canine, but the handler. There is no purpose for the handler to have dealt with the difficulty as he did. As already stated, his dog was off leash and not below control also, the dog may be timid in these instances, but now not necessarily in terms of working. My youngest GSD is a Police K9. He's a entire goof external of labor. Each time he sees me, he comes runnign over, tail wagging, ears down looking for attention. He gets along well with my different puppies (even though my lab does not take care of him). Once I go out on training days, he does not even pay awareness to me. I've additionally been on calls with him (i'm additionally an officer), and once more, does not pay concentration to me. Dogs are particularly sensible and are in a position to deal with situations in a different way. Sorry, should make clear that my boyfriend is the handler, not me. And that i do agree that the officer should be pronounced.

First, i want to communicate about that because a canines is a "K9" does no longer advise that it really is a valid, properly behaved canines. regrettably, there is not any set widely used for skills for Police canines. maximum are quite experienced, properly bred canines. some are literally not. Like others have suggested, canines will be canines. It does no longer sound as if the priority lies with the canines, notwithstanding the handler. there is not any rationalization for the handler to have dealt with the placement as he did. As already stated, his canines replaced into off leash and under no circumstances less than administration also, the canines ought to correctly be timid in those circumstances, yet no longer inevitably at the same time as it contains operating. My youngest GSD is a Police K9. he's an finished goof outdoors of labor. on each occasion he sees me, he comes runnign over, tail wagging, ears down searching for interest. He receives alongside properly with my different canines (even with the actuality that my lab does no longer look after him). at the same time as i flow out on practise days, he would not even pay interest to me. I have also been on calls with him (i'm also an officer), and back, does no longer pay interest to me. canines are quite sensible and are able to manage circumstances otherwise. Sorry, ought to make sparkling that my boyfriend is the handler, no longer me. and that i do agree that the officer should be stated.

my mom has been training search and rescue dogs for about 8 or 9 years now.
she doesn't train them to walk behind her, but rather to walk right next to her, imitating her every move. it's called "heeling".
besides, when dogs are sniffing out for drugs or searching for missing people, you don't want them to be following you...you want them to lead the way---so definately don't teach your dog to walk behind you.

Choke chain, use the word "HEEL", after awhile he will get tired of choking himself and realize you are the boss, it will take a lot of time and a lot of patience, don't use treats as a reward for something they should do any ways. Rotts are very aggressive dogs and they like to maniupulate, good luck

Inroll in a dog obedience class what you ask is way to much to tell in this small space
