In order that Rottweiler puppy should
habituate itself to an owner sooner and easier the following
simple technique is used. Dogs are known to remember and
distinguish circumambient smells wonderfully and a predominant one
among the others must be smell of its owner.
Therefore you may place some object belonging personally to its
owner near a sleeping rug of your Rottweiler puppy. It is not
recommended to bring outside Rottweiler puppies at the age less
than 2 months old immediately after their feeding. During this
period their backbone and spinal muscles are still not
well-developed but bones and limb ligaments are still invalid.
Walk on a full stomach is a very high stress for such puppy and
sagging of spinal muscles may develop as a result and afterwards
it will turn to be an irremediable deformity. On getting
accustomed to owner’s smell Rottweiler puppy will sooner
accommodate itself to a man also, but the object left near its rug
will always remind it of an owner.
Rottweiler puppy taken from a Kennel is to get accustomed to
observing discipline as soon as possible. In the first instance,
it should habituate itself to emptying in the weather during walk.
For that you should bring 2 months old Rottweiler puppy outside
into the yard immediately after its feeding.
The dog will have to learn that on the morrow of meal it is a
necessary walk for it where it will be able to empty but then play
and skylark to its hearts content. After walking the dog should
have a full rest–sleep on already familiar for it rug. But what to
do if Rottweiler puppy failed to wait a prescribed time of walk
and eased nature right on room floor?
In no case you should not swear at it and punish it for such
liberty. Months or six-week Rottweiler puppy is still unable to
control own organism or ask for going outside. In future the habit
of wanting out and tutoring itself before going in the street will
be developed in the dog. The main thing is to teach Rottweiler
puppy to ease nature in the street until it is 5-6 months old.
At older age of Rottweiler it will be much more difficult for you
to do that and at times even impossible. Without being trained
properly even adult dogs are able to spring unpleasant surprises
on their owners taking heed to empty somewhere at the corner of a
drawing room.
Therefore you had better make certain efforts to get up early in
the morning and air young Rottweiler regularly then to be engaged
in reeducating of your careless pet in future. Further you may
read the recommendations on teaching the dog to want out.
Contact with other dogs is necessary for social adaptation of
Rottweiler.
If owner’s flat is in a high-rise block of flats, then when going
down and up stairs it is recommended to take Rottweiler puppy in
arms or use elevator until the dog is 5-6 months old. As far as
muscles and vertebral bones are not too strong Rottweiler puppy
may not move up and down the stairs on its own.
