Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
For tip one get a big teddy bear for the crying. It really helped me and he slept on that bear like it was his mother
Oh good idea!
Poor little guys !! 🥺 this makes me love Rottweilers even more… & I already love them a lot.
@@Its_just_rand yeah i bought a teddy bear for my puppy, and they be snuggeling all day
My puppy is 9 week now is it 2 late to get a Teddy bear or a baby Sother not a dummy lol 😆
I bought a teddy bear to snuggle myself
Life commitment is exactly what being a dog owner is.
I have to disagree with you on two points. One is feeding them. As I have had 2, I taught them both that food in dish is OK to eat , and they never have the o worry about it being empty. They learn from puppies to only eat when hungry and would go get bites of it. All my dogs have been trained this way. As for chewing, as soon as I could, I took what they had and replaced it with their toy or chewy, my dogs have never destroyed sofa, hard wood chairs, or anything but their own things. Yes, they were very well behaved in public with children all over them, if they had enough they would go to another room. You're right they take lots of work and time to have a dog that, with one time telling them down and they do it. Remember to also not give them foods, nutmeg seasoning is very toxic please pass this around it is very important.
If free feeding works for you, that's totally fine. It shouldn't be a standard practice or encouraged ubiquitously though.
That's not to say it will totally sabotage one's ability to train their dog, but ultimately the only actual benefit to free feeding is the small amount of time and energy/effort you save.
On the other hand, there are a myriad of potential pitfalls to free feeding. And while those drawbacks can certainly be mitigated to some extent, it's far more work and stress to try to break long-term, deeply integrated, consistently practiced bad habits and then build up new, better ones after, than it is to simply establish good ones in the first place.
There's also a good deal of benefit to be had with structured meal times that help in other areas of training, and any increase of time and energy to prepare and serve them is honestly negligible.
So, considering the powerful benefits of structuring meals, and the potential drawbacks and very limited benefits of free feeding, it only makes sense that the industry standard practice among professional trainers is to advocate for, encourage, and teach the use of structured meal times.
Yup I've always done the same. I have a boarder collie and Rottweiler mastiff. Free feeding both of one bowl. No problems.
I have worked from home since the pandemic started and my 2 Rotties always make an appearance when I'm on conference calls climbing on my lap..they enjoy being loved and being right with their owner's all the time for sure
I have a question should I have the bowls a food before I get him or after with him
@@jacobterrazas2222 xxv z ?
Lp
same with me and my gf hahah we picked our boy up in the pandemic and he pops his head in during calls too and the meeting just STOPS and immediately focuses on the handsome rotti hahah
They think your talking to them 😂
Lol same here 2 Rottis. One 4 yr one 8 m. They are always in my conference calls. 😅 everyone on my various calls know them both.
I got a border Collie puppy, the moment she came home she was acting as if it was already her home, taking the toys from the other dogs , playing with them, she was just amazing...
Collin thank you for this education because a lot of people want the breed but dont realize what their getting into and thats why these beautiful dogs with hearts of gold wind up in shelters,which is horrible because they only want to please and be with their people
Agreed!
Big Dogs..Big Expense..everything you said is right on target..thanks for being so honest!!(TEAM ROTTIE) ! :)
Yes!!
The dog keeps trying to hold your hand... Awww...
I had a Rottie that I trained to be a therapy dog. I agree with everything you said. I would add that people should find a 'puppy school' / obedience training sessions for their pups. It's a wonderful opportunity for the pup to meet other dogs and people and learn watching the others. A well trained Rottie is a joy to take out in public. After playing / training at the park, we would go over to the Dairy Queen and have her stand in line beside me, waiting for her ice cream treat.
I raised 2 rottweilers from birth. In each case, the mother killed the other pups in the litter and was heading for the last one. In each case, they became wonderful addition to our family. Hand feeding and cleaning them makes them very special dogs.
Watch the sweet treats you could give yours a sugar problem. I had one that got into getting sugar treats and had to have shots and vet visits every week. So please be careful about giving them too many, try getting her and low-fat ice cream. I keep learning some new with each dog. I have lab mix. I could not find Rottweiler under 1500.00. That was 4 years ago. I saw my lab mix at the puppy jail and knew he was the one. He was 7 weeks old he just turned 4 years old. He is also a service dog. Once the vest is on, he knows it is time to work.
He was my first male dog. Boy, did I have my hands full. Girls are so much easier to train. He was and is a powerful boy, I tried everything to get him to learn to stay in the yard, we have no fence in front, and we live in a smaller town now. He would rush the door, and I was knocked down by his body pushing to get out first . I don't believe in cages, but we tried everything. Someone said they had to use shock collar, well he wears his all the time. I had to shock him 2 or 3 times now it is
the bell or just picking it up. He plays in the front yard and stays in the yard. He will leave if the ball goes too far. We are lucky to have the room to let him run. But it took an extra effort to get him to understand, and the shock collar in about 3 years' time to only get him shocked 3 times is pretty good. Now I just give him the mom look. right now, he is watching for his dad to drive in. He plays great with all kids and wants them to pet him or with landlords 2 boys to play ball with. He is a joy to have around and to take in public.
If I tell him I'm busy, he will go lay down and watch to see when I'm done. He plays well with most dogs and lives the puppy park. I watch my landlords 2 small dogs, and have fixed their peeing in house,getting on table, NOT BARK IN HOUSE. MY 2 ARE NOT ALOUD to bark in any building. My landlord had me keep them in boot camp for 2 weeks, then train his kids on how to get them to know how to correct them. His dogs are a joy for him now. Oh, rat terrier and a pomeranian. He has a runner in the rat, and the pomeranian was a bitter. They both were barkers and had no manners. Now, if I could get them to stay home more, he would be happy.
@@sallydattoli2143 that would never have happened if the mother dog was trained properly
No better breed than the rotty. We had to have ours put to sleep 15 years ago and it was so difficult. He was absolutely the best dog I've ever owned. He was aggressive when needed but was an absolute sweetheart the rest of the time.
Agree completely. They love the family dearly and behave like eternal puppies at home. Mine loved travelling in the car and growled when another car came too near.🤣🤣🤣
I got mine a few weeks ago. She’s 11 weeks old now and has learned to sit, lay down, shake, and rollover :)
Bir ay önce öldü benimki 😑😑😑
Rotties are so smart and they learn fast! I would recommend taking your pup to obedience classes at your local pet store. You'll learn lots of great tips.
I don't believe in crating the puppy. You need to learn that they get bored and need a job. The chewing problem, don't just pick things up they do not learn what they can destory. You take it away and give them their toys. It works, and they don't care what toys or how much they can destroy. I have started from the day they come home to train them with a quite voice, when you want to stop them from anything you DO NOT YELL. You change the tone in your voice, stay calm. Picking up these and putting them out of their way is wrong they are not going to learn. I have nice things and you can take this or not but they did not try to chew on them once you show them here is the things they can destroy and this is a no no. It will not take long. Barking is simple to stop in house, tap them on
Their nose, say no barking in house, take it out side and say it is where they can run and bark. It will take a few days or longer but keep it up. All dogs can learn this. Now I know that you get a dog from the puppy jail, ( pound) you take on their why they end up there. Yes I took on dog that pottied in house, was skin and bones. He is an small dog, so it works on any size, he was a barker, scared to death of women you could tell one hit him and treated him bad. He took to my husband so this is what I did to fix him, treats for potty outside, with lots of telling him what a good dog he is. Slowly letting him see when walking up taking out my hand letting him come to me, this has taking a year to get him to eat when he was hungry and not over eat. Get eye to eye with him. Showing him you love him. Then slowly that he can trust you, this little guy is now sleeping on my feet at night does not what to share him mommy with the day care dogs, has learn to share me. He know wants to check out every bag that comes in house, looking to see if he gets new toy, he now has 2 laundry baskets full of toys. He is happy learning to not bark in house. Tells me he wants outside to potty, in a very quiet speak can he have cookie, and most important he has saved my life, I have afib, it has out of control he got in my face and woke me up and told me I needed help. This was an dog that was set to die at pound, now he is a service dog, and is always with me. Trained , can now be around other dogs, people, women, has no bad habits and a good home with lots of love and now on diet to drop a few pounds. He has not so many treats now but lotes of hugs and kisses. Dogs can be retrained and turn into great dogs with time and love. I would not take money for him. He has got a big brother big lab mix and will tell him in with a low grumbles to back off. He is sharing food, toys, and mom who now is in my lap or next to me in car. This took a longer time since he was miss treated so badly. But Bubba is nothing but a happy dog and a sweetheart now. You can fix yours with love and time.
@@theresacates7960 I grew up with 2 german shepherd's from puppies and neither was crate trained. Forward 25 years I having been wanting a rottweiler from a puppy for ages. All I hear about is crate training and I'm not sure I want to do that.
@skankhunt42 don't do it, a Rottweiler is not happy in a cage, in some it brings out the mean, and you don't want it. Try to remember that they are a handful if not trained at an early age. Have toys that he can play with and destroy. When he has chewed or looks like is wants to chew on you or something else, try this, touch it, or pick it up telling him no "not a toy" him no in a from voice the tone is important. Show him the thing, either Toy or a chewy. Tell him, "This is yours and give it to him." Touch his nose to get him to look at you, say "no barking" and take him outside, then say this where you can bark. Keep this up for as long as it takes. It took mine about 2 weeks to learn it all. Just if we it looks like he can learn it all the same time then do one at then keep it, and hip for him. Don't let him charge the door or jump on people coming in make hi. Sit still when he is settled, then let every take turns to talk to him. This will be the best dog, and people will live coming to see him. He needs to be the first one to get hello, and then he will just go lay down.
I am a first time Rotty mom and would not trade it for anything in the world. My princess turned 1 in July. It has been a learning curve for both of us, but thank you for all your videos. It has really helped us a lot.
Once you have a Rottie there’s no substitute. My next favorite is a chowchow but you have to be careful with them
Awww, your baby in the silly phase.
Is it okay to have it as a first pet dog ? Im a cat person but i would loooove to have a rott its my dream theyre so cute and loyal but most people say i shouldn’t but i want one and especially after watching this i think i can do it
Just adopted a female, after having 6 at one time, all of whom lived out their lives! I love their attitude, very affectionate, and loyal!
16:12 summed up my Rotti pretty well. She snuck out once and when I found her she was lying on the parking lot. All paws in the air on her back with 4 kids around her giving pets. She was loving it :)
Most dogs are good if the owners are good. I only had 1 weird dog but it was later learned that the dog very likely was the son of a brother and sister hook up. Which says a lot of bad things about that breeder. So make sure you buy your dog from a reputable breeder.
Train better. Supposed a car went though the area where your dog got LOOSE
When a dog is kind and trusting like that I know the owners treat that dog well and it's been taught how to behave - well done to you
The advice for the pictures and videos... so extremely true. I feel like that’s a good life lesson in general. In the blink of an eye everyone’s all grown up and you can’t even picture then being small unless you have those memories saved on a file somewhere!
Pure love. Love them we just lost our Rottweiler.She was 14 years old.
I'm sorry. Losing our beloved dog is never easy. 🐶🐶🐶
Yeah, sorry hope you aren’t too sad I know it’s never easy
R.I.P Beautiful girl 💗💐
Long life for rott, but never long enough sorry for your loss 💔
That's an awesome life for a rott. I'm sorry for your loss, but I bet it had an awesome long life.
I have been thinking of getting a puppy again and Rottweilers are definitely on the top of the list. I’m hoping to get a home office job soon and if all works out then we’re definitely getting one 😍 I just moved to the US and with the amount of time my husband and I both spend at work each day I can’t imagine getting a puppy and training it with so little time 🙃
Showing the husky at the end actually answered one of my questions. I love huskies and had one. Everything you said in this video works for all breeds. Thank you for sharing as I think it will educate those who don’t know.
I just picked up my new Rottie about a week ago at 9 weeks old, she's been with me for a week and has met a lot of people and a lot of other dogs. And for a 9 week old puppy she definitely stands her ground and is very alert but that little tail is still wagging during her meet and greets. I drive a log truck so she comes with me and I do a little training exercises when they're loading me up. First time they dropped the load of logs in the crib with her she spun around and cut loose and growled only like a Rottweiler can.... from between my legs of course lol. From there intently watched them load the next four cribs, by the time they started on 5 she was pretty okay with it and ignored it from there. In the truck she's very well behaved and she has her chew toys so when she's not napping she's either chewing on those or attempting to figure out how to get up in my lap. Surprisingly enough she doesn't chew on the seats or anything else in the truck but for whatever reason she loves the fire extinguisher and not the rubber part either she likes chewing on the metal base. But training has been a breeze with her she just about has all the basics down but still probably not a bad idea to go to an obedience school. My last Rottie had 14 years of good life, and after many years I finally decided to get another puppy but he will still be very much missed and I hope to give my little Luna the same experience
I’m also truck driver im waitin for mine to turn 9 weeks she’ll be over the road with me
Ive never known a breed grow SO QUICK, I have 2 , 1 is 6 months old and huge, the other is 11weeks old and I swear I come home from a long day at work and they have grown, in between vaccinations my pup went from 4.9kg to 10kgs in 2 weeks
Mine too!
Hi Brandon. This video was awesome! Very easy to listen too and comprehend. I just added a 9 week old male to my home last week and have been reading and watching videos like yours ( the best), so my Puppy Jake can grow up to be the best dog possible. He deserves all the tools and training I can give him to do so. Thanks again for posting this!
Love it!!!!!
His name is Collin
Not Brandon
I can't believe I watched right through to the end, bro you really making me fall in love with Rottweillers.
I’m 43 years old and I’ve owned rotties for the past 20 years. I’m on my 4th rottie & we have a new puppy coming next week. We usually buy two at a time so they have a buddy. These are truly the best dogs on the planet & everything you’re saying in these videos is fantastic advice. These dogs are definitely worth the effort but they are work. One other thing I suggest that’s worth mentioning is to add real food into their diets from time to time like a grass fed steak (cook rare), chicken etc. we also bake carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes with some coconut oil, olive oil , spinach and sometimes a little butter for them. Good healthy fats are important for dogs as well as humans. For treats we give them apples, green beans (ie real food) & they will grow to love these foods after a while. Dog food is important and has a lot of important nutrients but actual meat, fruits and vegetables (not processed) food is also essential. Feeding real foods that contains all of its vitamins, minerals & fiber that is a must just like it is for humans. Dog food (Kibble) is processed no matter how good of a quality you buy so supplementing their diets with real food is imperative. We also add fish oil (Grizzly Omega Heath) and glucosamine (Dasuquin) from the time they are puppies which helps prevent hip problems and keeps their coats healthy & we always make sure they have a comfortable bed. These are big dogs and they are prone to hip dysplasia so require comfortable beds that can fit their big bodies. One of dogs lived until he was 18 years old which is rare for a 125 lb dog but we think feeding him with real quality food packed with enzymes, probiotics offered him a more complete diet which is why he lived so long. Rotties are truly the best dogs and if they are socialized properly & often you’ll have the best companions forever.
Thanks for the video. I haven’t owned a dog in five years and I’m getting a Rottweiler puppy next Saturday. I’ve been prepping for his arrival and this video and your tips have helped out! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I’m getting my Rottie puppy today! I am so so excited! These are great tips
I have a back injury and in pain- healing slowly- the only thing that keeps me sane- watching enjoying your videos- your love for animals are undescribble❤💯
LOVE THIS! thanks!
3:30 Junior be like: Ain't none of my business... yet.... LOLLLLL 😂😂
YET
Nailed it! 😂😂
I recently began watching your channel on my TV (not a smart TV) so I'm only now subscribing from my desk top.
My daughter and son-in-law had a rotty in the past, so I know how wonderful they are. Congratulations on your beautiful little girl. Your videos are wonderful, especially for anyone working on training.
Hey thanks! Welcome!
We're so excited to follow Junior's growth. 🥰🥰🥰
Excited to have you :)
Fluffy is so big, but he remains a lap dog, I just know it! 😄😄😄
That's a Rottweiler for you
Collin, I appreciate ur Tips for more reasons than the Obvious. Especially the Tip about not getting a puppy, just because the Puppy is Cute. I think ur puppy/dog tips were on point 100%.. this was I THINK the Best video yet, only because of All the Info new pet owners need to know, especially because hopefully it will help save and keep ANOTHER pup/ dog from being put to sleep, homeless. This video was really Full of important info. I preach this info to family/ friends all time. I love animals, and that's why i worked for vet office for over 10yrs. Thank you so so much, I truly mean that. You, Sahm and the 4 babies have a great n blessed day!
Absolutely Agree with you..Best info so far! :)
My girl will be 8 at the end of this summer. She is my first dog and although it has been a challenge, it has also been a joy. I do wish I had learned the part about the whining before I got her, because I had such "post-partum" depression in that first month with all the sleep depravation from her whining all night. Google broke my heart a few weeks ago when out of curiosity, I looked up life expectancy and saw that I might only have a couple more years with her. Thank you for putting out this video!
You’re such a great guy! ❤ to you and Sam and your dedication to these amazing babies! They’re calm and happy because of you guys!
Great video good tips to help along a new puppy journey ! I remember my first Rottie a mix with Shepard Crystal was so smart it was shocking ? Would do nothing wrong ! But my Jax ? Full Rottie game changer ! Ur tips are a must !!! 🙌🏻
just got my pup, she was 8 weeks when i got her, had 0 potty training and had no idea how to live in a house on top of all this my original dog, a 7 yo labbie/rott mix, hated her. we are now 3 weeks in, they are best friends, poops only in the room at night when she is closed in, otherwise she started doing her business outside, she is starting to aclimate to live inside as well, first 2 weeks she cried alot an night and i was sure somebody will send animal control to my house but nobody did and she calmed down, she is super sweet and they started to get along nicely with my original girl, they are both the same mix but very wildly different dogs and im all in for the adventure, i really liked the extra tip you gave at the end and completely agree with that, how the dog acts is a testament to how well you are treating and teaching it, im all for the idea of having people who want a certain type of dog to need a teaching course on the breed and have something like an exam you need to have done as an owner so that you know how to deal with dogs like rotties who are a bit more needy and need a bit of extra when dealing with them.
Thank you for the nice video 🌋 Kenai, Kita and Fluffy are so accepting of Junior. You're realistic and understanding. Your dogs are beautiful ✨ Junior is adorable 🐻 Beautiful breed ⭐
Extremely informative & very well presented. A lot of sensible information.
I have had 2 Rottweilers in the past.
They were both 2 different dogs, but loved by all. First Rottweiler was bought from a breeder. The second was rescued.
Food, socialize, and toys, and love made the both of them were very great dogs.
Thank you for the Information to people that do not know what it means to get/have a dog. From dog to dog you need sometimes more, sometimes less Time, Money, Patience. And a Dog is not toy. When you get a Dog You should be able and willing to support the Dog all his Life Time. The best Friend you can ever get!!!!!!!
Doggie Insurance for when they get sick or eat something they shouldn't have, Like my X in-laws did with Jake the golden retriever, towels paper clip. Love this Video. Great on telling people the Truth. About time SOMEONE has done this. Thank you and much love to your Family.
Great tips, Collin, as always! 🙂🥰🙂🥰 We couldn't agree more. 🐶🐶🥰🥰
Thanks so much!
Thanks, Collin for sharing your thoughts and insights. It is quite informative for me. 👍👌
Wow you just filled out everything I need to know and one of the best advise in getting a Rottweiler dog.
Great tips! I love taking his pics and videos yours really inspired me
I'm so glad!
I love this video. You mentioned all important topics on becoming a new Rotti parent
Always have loved your videos , very informative !!! I’m watching this in advance & will come back to this for my future self, I really want a Rottweiler pup but I don’t have the time to dedicate to the pup so I will withhold until I do, I know first year for the pup has got to be their most important year to learn properly & be under supervision but ofc the rest of the years we get to share with them 🤍
Thank you
I love how u excite ur message! I’m also very happy u didn’t snip their tails ur an amazing educator
Excute*
Hey, I'm getting a rottweiler soon to join my family and you're videos really help. Thanks, and keep up the good work!.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for the tips....very informative 😊
This is a really important video. Very educational. I don't plan to get a dog any time soon but it's always good to know all these things in case I ever decided to get one. Really made me realize how unprepared I am right now and how irresponsible it would be to get a dog. 👍
About ten years ago, I was still a teenager and wanted a pet which did not require a lot of maintenance, I thought turtles would fit that description. Ofc I did not do any research, went out to buy 2 red eared sliders and basically a glass bowl to put them in. Thankfully I was so excited about them that I started watching UA-cam videos about turtles and quickly realised my setup (if one could even call it that) was very inappropriate. To keep it short let me just say turtles require a lot and they do not do well with other turtles or fish. I ended up having to give one of them to a family friend because they were always fighting and it started getting very nasty. I still have one turtle left and I do my best to take care of it but its not always easy having to clean up a massive aquarium almost every month. If this taught me something it is, really do your research before adopting a pet. Does not matter the species. It is a life commitment, it is expensive, it is stressful sometimes and it's definitely not for everyone.
I'm new to your channel and I have never owned a dog before. I wanted one for protection and I have always loved the appearance of Rottweilers. You videos are so informative, It's helping me making my decision on whether or not a rottweiler is for me.
My little Rottie just turned 8 weeks old yesterday, she is just about housebroken. Take her to work with me everyday to help socialize her. Chewing and biting is next project to teach her
We have a video on that! Congrats on your new pup!
Excellent video!😃 All Collin's words of wisdom - spot on! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely agree!
i'm just started looking at your channel an for what i see y'all are great pet owner's i grew up with rottweiler dog's everything you are saying about the rottweiler we done the same treatment y'all are doing keep up the grate work i see them dog's really love y'all love the channel.
The cleaning is so true. My new puppy loves to dig in the mud.
As a former Rottie owner - Awesome Video. Amazing breed and definitely one of the tougher puppy periods with them vs other dogs. Tonnes of energy. But worth it in the end. Mine calmed down completely at ~ 8months. Socialize them constantly for first year.
I LOVE watching your videos because you are sssooo HELPFUL!
Great info as always! Thanks!
Bruh, you just picked up a new subscriber! This video was well done and was right on point!💯👍
My wife and I have had Rottweilers since 1984, so we are experienced in this breed! Your hints, tips and tricks were what the doctor ordered for the newbies!
If you ever want to make sure one of your puppies go to the perfect forever home, holla at ya boy! 🤙
Thank you. We have hundreds of videos for you to enjoy
Excellent advice, applicable to all breeds.
Thanks bud, very good tips 🙌🏻👊🏻
Very good information! Thank you for sharing!
Great information. Thank you so much. I am just about to adopt a Rotty from a Shelter. You have given me the confidence and some know-how's to do so. I appreciate you. CC
Best of luck!
Thank you guys so much!!! I want one one day when im ready :)
Any time!
Agree with most of your views, our puppy too took few days to settle down and had to understand whinning. Our Rottweiler is surely very loving but shows moods. Responds to my son...one owner dog but good if you can give attention and care.
Over the last 54 years I've had 3 Rott's and 3 Shar Pei's. You are spot on!!! Lost my last Shar Pei, Mr. Sixx 5 months ago. He made it to 15 yrs. of age. I can't stress enough a good diet, and being outside while being interactive with everything in everyday life...
What a fantastic guy to share. Our canine babies tear us up with great love and then loss. Each one a gift and family member. One life saved is a life saved.
I enjoyed listening and watching this video much more than I expected!
Thanks Collin,my pup arrives Tuesday 🥳
Appreciate the wisdom & knowledge Colin 🤙
Quite a whole explanation. Thankyou.
I got my boy expecting him to be ginourmous. Turns out his healthy weight is only 92lbs. I call him my teacup rottie XD But all of this is so true, especially the socialize early and often. Even as an adult I make sure he sees the world. As a result, the gaps in socialization I had as a puppy are beginning to close. Great dogs.
U forgot 1 thing about a female adult Rottie that ppl might not know is that they get their periods every 6 months for 2 weeks. So ppl be prepared for that.
I know it’s a old video but I learned a lot, thanks for sharing. I’m picking up my buddy tomorrow
Hi Jason here we have a 11month female purebred never met such a stubborn dog in my life but we love her. You guys are great.
Hey Jason! Nice to see ya! Be sure to check out plenty of our training videos to help with the stubbornness!
Love your videos! We have had Rotties since 1994 and your advice is spot on. We lost our 14 year old boy in 2019 and we want to get another one asap however, we lost our property in the California wildfires and we need to get in to another home before we bring a puppy home. Thank you for your videos. We have always had two rotties so they are not alone....Love them so much and it is so hard when we lose one. They are a part of our family
I can’t believe I’m just seeing this. ❤️ thanks for sharing
Thank you Colin for a very informative video.l hope Christian comes over to see junior and brings diesel to see his brother.He is a such great caring guy like you.much love.
Rottweilers are my favorite dogs. If I could own a pet I would get one. I had two growing up, Zeus and Hera. I miss them terribly.
Tf exact names as mine😭
This is a great video! I get my girl in a few weeks and she’s coming to a home with two small dogs and a shepherd so I hope she feels nice and comforted with her new pack!
Good luck!!
where did you get it?...breeder?
Thanks for this video, my girlfriend recently wanted to get a rottweiler puppy. And this video is just a blessing
very good video. The only thing that i have found over the 45 years of being owned by a rottweiler is the males do have a period that they are like 15 or 16 yr old boys that want to test their dads. The male rottie will test you about 9 to 12 months the will bow up and act all tough and not want to get off the couch or whatever. maybe a little growl or grumble. Make them move even if they don't want to. And again about 18 months to 2 yrs . Once through that little bump in the road they are amazing. I have loved these dogs since 1974 when no one had ever heard of them. You are so right these dogs are certainly people pets. My dogs, all of them i started socializing at a very young age, about three months old, I took them everywhere with me. I showed them and won quite a bit. I had judges call me over at the end of class and tell me how nice it was to have a sweet rottie..I would always thank them and walk away proud. I had my show collars and my everyday collars. They knew the difference. At one show i was never so thankful that i took the time and love to make my dogs confident and sweet. I was with my girl getting ready to go into the show ring, changed her collar and was ready to go in when out of the corner of my eye i saw this lilttle girl come running up to Sasha and threw her arms around her neck saying "Hi Gretchen." OMG it happened so fast i didn't have time to react. Thank God as the little girl planted a kiss on Sasha cheek and hugged her , the girls mom is screaming, my special girl turned around and gave the girl a kiss. I was so proud of her. That is a TRUE ROTTWEILER.
I agree with you on everything you have said....I wish I could do a kibble mix to help offset the cost of feeding my rottis my male has a sensitive stomach towards kibble so I had to put him on a raw feeding and now I'm paying close to $500 a month for both of them compared to just spending 120 on 2 bags of kibble...I like how you added you get mo personal space with these guys you really hit that on the button
Thankyou for being such a good rottie dad! 🥰
You are so kind
I have a half Red Heeler, Half Rottie puppy. He's crazy, but he's the best pup I've had in a while. So sweet, great with dogs and the kids, and doesn't know a stranger.
New pup is very handsome . You all do such a very good job with all your babies . Beautiful family .
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the tips on Rottweiler Puppies. I was lucky enough to meet two
beautiful Rottweiler dogs. One was 4 years old and the other was just born. The first one died of cancer a little after 4 years old and the other baby is now 6 years old and has two knees that do not work anymore. The owner of these dogs is a drunk. The dogs had no training. They were beautiful dogs. I came into the first dog's life when he was 4 and saw that he was not trained, he was dragged everywhere his owner went. Sat around while he was drinking, tied up to his truck when he needed to leave to do stuff while he was camping. The only social life the dog had was among drunks and drinking parties, when his owner was sleeping off a drunk he sat all day and watched him. The second was a puppy after the first one died. It was the same life. Seeing I was there I made sure he had good expensive food, the best life, I had insurance on him, paid for his vet bills, offered to get the dog trained but the owner would not hear of it. He thought he could do it but was drunk all the time and the dog went for trips to the park to socialize. He had the same life as the first, sat around drunks, never had a home life, he was dragged everywhere when he was going drinking, I had no say in his life even though he was living in my home. Yes he chewed up shoes, he made my bedroom his room, he slept in my bed and all his toys were in my room. He loved me. when the dog was 5 years old he was dragged out of my home and from then his life went down hill. He was eating cheap food, going from place to place while his owner was socializing, drinking, camping, drunk all the time now he has two busted knees and no money to fix it. He brought him to me. I took him to the vet. The vets said he needed surgery. I spent $700 on xrays, and bought him a bag of food because he had none.I knew if I paid $10,000 on his surgery he would have the same bad life he had for all the past years. I walked away from it. It broke my heart but the owner was unemployed and a drunk and would not look after this dog after surgery seeing he hadn't looked after him to this point. The two dogs never ever had a dog tag because his owner could not even afford that. People like him should not be allowed to own a dog like a Rottweiler. I had no say in this dog's life, I was just there to pay the bills. Once I was out of the picture and the insurance was taken away this dog has been reduced to cheap food, and is waiting to die.
looking forward to the commitment, hopefully getting a rott in the near future💆🏽♂️
I start all my puppies at 6 weeks old, I start taking them everywhere. I take them to my daughters cheerleading practice and games and to stores everywhere.
Wow, we have owned Rottweilers for over 30 years. We are currently on Rott #6. Obviously we love the breed, but I must say...I have NEVER upto now watched any video that absolutely NAILED IT about the breed until now.
The only thing you could have touched on that I didn't see addressed was the Rottie grumble, because that has been known to freak the uninitiated out.
Otherwise! 10 outta 10! Amazing realistic review on the breed so I'm now a subscriber and will be checking out more on your channel, past and future. Keep up the great work!!
Hey welcome!
Junior is so stinking cute lol
:)
Grat tips as always they apply not only to rottys everything you said applys 100% for my pittbull too its like she lived with you as a puppy 🙂
I own pitbull too and planning to get a rottie. Hope they would have a good time together.
Great dad with those rotties man. You're taking responsibility for them unlike other people who consciously or unconsciously abuse their dogs because they don't understand what they're getting into.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Good job!
I'm so glad!
Only one thought my Rottie puppy is soon to be 12 he is awesome, he has teeth problems now, so maybe try to brush their teeth when they are young, or take them in for a cleaning, although with a Rottie it is a real bit of expensive, lol. He is going in for a cleaning and possible tooth extraction, he has been dealing with mouth issues for a month or so. He got antibiotics a week and a half ago and being old he is not as spry as he used to be but he still can be a spitfire. We have done all the things you recommend in your videos, you are awesome. I love your channel you really know what you are doing, and really socializing them in every way makes all the difference in the world. Although, lol my boy he had his moments as a puppy, I love him to death :). He is also allergic to a number of things so raw is awesome and dog food without grains. That is all I have to say. He was a puppy in the photo that I use as my moniker. Wow almost twelve years ago. You are very awesome in your knowledge keep doing what you are are doing. This is an awesome breed in every aspect of having a dog :). OK I had to add this he had a brother who was a Jack Russel who always was 100 percent terrier I think when you introduce other breeds you miss that aspect of your Rottie, a terrier is very active lol, although I loved my terrier boy, he added a different aspect to having a specific breed. OK way more than I thought, for the most part, teeth :).
Rottweilers best dogs period. Very intelligent, loyal, sweet, loving, super protective of their family, and make their owner’s life that much better every day!
I have a lab/rottweiler mix, and yeah... DURABLE toys. I get toys from a co called Bullymake. They are solid hard plastic and he will still break one every once in a while. Those huge meaty bones from the pet store... they last about 3 hours. He also has a knotted rope we play with, and a large solid rubber ball that Im surprised is still around. My dog is a 140lb cuddle bug, but his teeth and jaw strength is right out of a Stephen King book.
Very good advice and video Collin.
That’s was very helpful, I’ve been considering getting one, lot of insight thanks
They are great pals and a good guardian to.
Great tips.. All facts!!!!.. The growing years lol 😍😍🤗
