There some words as for sleeping place
for Rottweiler puppy how it is to be arranged. A rug for puppy may
be prepared from several layers of compact but not piled cloth or
tarpaulin. In order to prevent rug from sliding over the floor one
should fasten thin wooden lathes on its inner side.
The rug must not be too small: its optimum size is 60-70 cm or
70-100cm. If you plan to change a rug in future then in no case
you should change its location. It may lead to troubles during
education of Rottweiler for necessary commands. So, when
performing the command “Place!” such Rottweiler puppy will turn to
be totally disoriented in space and it will take a lot of efforts
for it to get accustomed to new location of sleeping rug.
Already in the first days Rottweiler puppy must learn to recognize
its owner.
When keeping Rottweiler puppy it is very important to be attentive
to it. The fostering of course must not feel abandoned and
forgotten and at the same time one should not show only endless
love and care during all day long, patronize it permanently. In
this case golden middle, as the saying is, will be an ideal
variant.
Rottweiler puppy should realize that its owner is a careful friend
who will always come to its rescue but at that one should make it
possible for the dog to develop all peculiarities of its
personality and not to deprive it of active playing, physical
stress, etc. Besides rug, Rottweiler puppy should have toys that
are necessary for training of its teeth (especially when milk
teeth are replaced with permanent ones).
As toys you may use small rubber balls or meat bones otherwise the
puppy will gnaw bedroom slippers or legs of chairs with its sharp
teeth. The bone meant for amusement of four-footed friend is to be
preliminary cleaned from meat, washed, dried and fried on a frying
pan.
But if you find out that your Rottweiler puppy is interested in
wooden things and you are afraid for safety of furniture, it is
recommended to make another toy for it: cut off an even thickest
twig from a tree. One may use artificial bones sold in zoo-shops
as well as fresh vegetables and fruit among those that are
included in the dog’s diet , for example, potato bulb, carrot or
big hard pear ( more detailed information on feeding Rottweiler
puppies (both boys and girls) will be found below ).
Already in the first days of its life in new house Rottweiler
puppy should learn how to treat its owner correctly and point out
him among the other family members. One should never forget that
education of Rottweiler as a tracker dog or a guard dog is a
business of a single person, its owner, but not of all his
acquaintances and friends.
Therefore it is very important to teach the dog to obey the
commands given only by its owner, take food only out of his hands,
play and comprehend the letters of training only with him.
