Generally, any physical pressure,
especially for young Rottweilers, is to be strictly measured out.
Rottweiler will be ready to go up and down the stairs on its own,
as well as jump, take a hurdle, etc. as certain grounds of muscles
(mainly muscles of back and hind limbs) turn to be well-developed
and trained.
Therefore all the questions concerning individual physical
exercises for your pet are to be discussed in detail with
specialist-cynologist or dog breeder. Many dog owners concern if
it is possible to air Rottweiler puppies which have not been
vaccinated against infectious diseases as far; indeed, only when
puppies are 2-3 months old they are obligingly vaccinated.
Many specialists incline to the opinion that one may air only
months or six-week Rottweiler puppies because at this age their
immunity is still too strong and they are not susceptible to
outside infections (feeding with mother’s milk enables
preservation of immunity from diseases but Rottweiler puppy has
been weaned from mother’s milk quite recently).
Moving and playing in the open air Rottweiler puppy perfectly
tempers (this is primarily training of muscles and ligaments that
want for strengthening), on returning from a walk such dog has
more deep and quiet sleep than the puppies that are always at
home. Being of Rottweiler in the open air will also have direct
influence on strengthening of its immunity in future.
Outside walks in fine sunny weather are considered to good
preventive measures against rachitis that may develop in the dog.
Nevertheless, when promenading unvaccinated Rottweiler dogs one
should proceed with certain caution. Before vaccinating one should
air Rottweiler puppies where older dogs are not seen walking
because they can be potential carrying agents.
But if unforeseen situation arises anyway, i.e. adult dog will
approach Rottweiler puppy you should not panic: the best
protection from outside attacks is a peculiar smell that
Rottweiler puppies are known to have when they are less than 2
months old.
However, in this case it is not recommended to stay in company of
unknown dogs and push Rottweiler puppy’s luck: one should try to
take the puppy to safe place as soon as possible or be back with
it home because aggressive dogs behave incalculably and then the
pet won’t avoid being bitten.
Friendship with congeners is a valuable acquisition for
Rottweilers; the dogs of this breed are able to pull together and
often collectively participate in guard and trace work. After
vaccination one may easily allow Rottweiler puppy to contact with
other dogs as this will be very useful for it. Indeed, in this
case if the pet avoids meeting with compatriots for long time then
it will rather become fearful and underconfident in future.
Nevertheless, communication must be pleasant and therefore it is
recommended to introduce the puppy only to its contemporaries
because adult dogs may treat the baby quite disaffectedly but
similar unequal combats are too undesirable. It needs to establish
contacts with neighbors dogs gradually but to do it as soon as
possible.
Getting accustomed to each other the dogs are likely to make
friends and start playing and running about together. During first
several weeks of being at home Rottweiler puppy already becomes
very attached to its owner and survives separation with him with
difficulty. Nevertheless, it is necessary to teach the baby to
understand that when its owner goes to work or is out because of
some businesses it will have to stay alone at home.
But if the separation is not long and lasts for several hours
only, Rottweilers usually get used quickly that their owner is
absent. However, when it is the necessity to go on secondment or
be away on holiday one may face the more serious problem: as a
rule Rottweiler dog is sick for its owner very much when he is
absent for long time.
Dog owner should prepare small plastic or metallic label for his
dog on the chance if the dog gets lost. Even if he is absolutely
sure that his supervision over his Rottweiler is excellent this
precautionary measure is too necessary. The label that will be
attached to a dog’s collar one should write address and directory
number of its owner.
