My rott puppy is 3 months old, and very aggressive, when he bites me, i grab his neck , shke him and say "NO",

Question

HE TRIES TO BITE ME WHEN I DISCIPLINE HIM, AND HE GROWLS

Answer 1

Get this under control right away by hiring a professional dog behaviorist. If you're not willing to do this, then you shouldn't be owning the dog. It sounds like 1) he was poorly bred, and 2) you don't really have the experience and knowledge to be owning a rottweiler. A well-bred, well-trained rottweiler can be a really nice dog, but if either of these are lacking, you have a potential danger on your hands. This is an extremely powerful breed with a strong guardian instinct, making them potentially dangerous unless you know what you're doing.

Very soon your puppy will be doubling and tripling in size, and he will be less and less in your control. Ask your vet to recommend a good behaviorist, or get rid of the puppy.

Answer 2

The more aggressive you are to the dog the more he will be with you. You should buy a rottie training guide. The are a very dominance breed and you should have some type of experience with them. But don't forget puppies bite and think everything is a game. Also, try a training class at your locate pet-smart. Talk to your vet.

Answer 3

You need to teach him that you are the dominate one and that he has to be loyal to you. One way of doing this is: Put a leash on him and have him stand up, kneel down and hold the leash up and start rubbing his back, neck, tail, ears, etc. If u are holding the leash up he can not bite you. Continue doing this until he stops snapping at you. Doing this will show him that you are the boss, and he must submit to you. Another thing is, puppys at his age are teething and playful, make sure he is not just trying to play with you. You can try training at petsmart, they have good classes. The most important thing is to remember is spend lots of time with your puppy and show him love. Also, Never shake a dog, it can cause serious brain damage. just like as if you were shaking a baby.

Answer 4

If he is growling at you it means that he sees that he is above you in the pecking order. You must be his leader or he will become dangerous. First make sure that the bed where you sleep is physically higher up than his. Second, make sure you eat your meal before he does. Third, you must go through doorways in front of him. And finally, you must make him get out of your way rather than walk around him or step over him. These are the main things that will show him that you are his leader and he won't feel responsible for controlling your life. Obedience training will help with this, and is an excellent idea.

Biting. I always teach puppies not to bite by pushing my hand into their mouth when they do, saying NO, until they try to push it out with their tongue. They soon get the idea that this is not fun. When mother dogs want to discipline a pup, she holds him down by the neck until he stops wriggling. This is the best form of discipline, that your pup will understand. Good luck.

Answer 5

"RIPPLE" the person who answered before me is right on.
If he biting because he is puppy is one thing. But if you feel that he is biting and growling to show dominance. You need not shake him, because you don't want hurt him. But graping by neck is fine. Never show weakness to that dog. Even if he steps it up and really bites you. Grab him, next muscle him down and put him to his back. Don't yell don't get excited. Once he is there give a low growl, projecting that you are the Alpha male. This is what will happen if chooses to challenge you. This works. I have been a runner for 15yrs. Body language works with dogs. Ob-cause so does brute force. But lets save that for ones dumb enough to come out in road after me.

Answer 6

If you are aggressive with the puppy, he will be aggressive back with you because you are teaching him to be that way and in a sense teaching him that it is okay. With dogs, you have to teach them that YOU are the alpha dog (the boss). I totally agree with and recommend in-house training. Depending on the area where you live, it is fairly inexpensive and will allow the trainer to see how the dog acts in its own environment and without distractions. Hitting, shaking, or grabbing the dog by his neck will have the opposite effect on the dog. I would also recommend getting a book about Rotts. Whatever your decision is, I would try to nip it in the bud quick! The sooner the better. Good luck!!

Answer 7

Hmmmmmmmmm. Legyblond? Natural or dyed? Did your parents shake you when you were three. That's called shaken baby syndrome. That means the brain is being traumatized by striking the inside of the skull. Do yourself a favor before your next nail appointment or dye job. Take the poor pooch to the pound and hopefully someone that really cares about dogs may adopt him. The worse that could happen is he will aventually get the blue juice because he wasn't adopted but that's better than a lifetime of some knucklehead mistreating him.

Answer 8

Your puppy is just that....a puppy. Grabbing and shaking him (I'm assuming gently) is not discipline. Your pup thinks you are playing because that is how puppies play. You are not teaching him anything except that you like to play with him.
At three months old puppies will bite and nibble and chew. That is just what they do...they have baby teeth, which will come out and then get their adult teeth.
You might consider a book on training. It sounds like this might be your first puppy, so you both could learn together.
Good luck and have patience.

Answer 10

Well, I don't know what the question is exactly. But, you shouldn't get hold of his neck, it makes the puppy feel threatened. When animals feel like that, they will keep being aggresive. You should hold his muzzle shut and say no. Then let go and look at it in the eyes and say no firmly and with authority. I have 3 puppies and this has always worked. If you are that aggresive with him, he will always be aggresive in anything you try to teach him or be with him. Maybe you should even contact a proffesional dog trainer.
