I've had Rotties since 1976 when my Dad gave me my first one and I have never crate trained any of my dogs but I think that the crate is a great extra measure of control especially for someone with little ones. It looks like you guys do a great job of juggling all that you do. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Never appreciated crating until I started fostering. Now a crate is part of the living room furniture. Jake has free access to it, he chooses to sleep there when I leave the house. Like you said, his safe space where nobody will bother him. You’re using excellent training tips, invest now in training and it reaps rewards tenfold later. This is why Bruno was such a good boy. He’s a real cutie! Good boy Rocco!
After 25 years with Rottweiler’s, and now with my third Rotti. All have by crate trained. My puppy is 8 months old, and now we leave the door open all the time 👍🏻
Congratulations on 100k. Just joined your channel for Rocko's journey with you. Seeing the few videos I have it isn't a surprise you have that many subs. Your videos are awesome. Good work! 👍
You do a good job multitasking your family and the puppy all at once You're a good pet dad and you're good father to your children and husband Love and blessings
Awww sweet boy he’s doing great! You are doing an excellent job! Just a note..the tiny toys around can be potentially dangerous for your puppy …noticed some small dolls/toys on the floor near the kitchen…sorry..I had a puppy swallow a small toy at 4 months and required surgery to be removed…he almost died…just FYI…not trying to be mosey or anything
Every dog is different and every family is different. I had adult dogs in the house when I brought home my Rottweiler puppy, Marie. She slept with the big dogs - no crating. When we went for a walk, the leash was on. But when she was out in the yard with no leash, she always came as soon as I called her. We had several acres. Once she was grown I often walked her without a leash. She stayed right by my side. We lived in a rural area, with some dogs not being restrained to their own property. If a neighboring dog decided to try to join us when I was walking my dogs, I would remove the leash and Marie would chase that dog right back to it's house. Them she would run back to join us. I didn't train her - she just did that on her own. She was a great dog. I miss her. She died in 2006.
I remember for Bruno. The best way I did it was I incorporated the “touch” command into the walking off leash. So if he got too far I would be yelling out “touch”! To get him to get back. Lol it got the job done.
Our pooch used to munch on cold Carrotts and safe manufactured bones. He also used to like nibbling my hands and arms. I didnt mind cozz it meant he would cuddle up to me
Great info. Are you guys planning on neutering? We have an 11 mo old Goldendoodle and I'm against doing it, but have an open mind to it if it's best for the dog.
I m from Germany, hi everybody. Yes, at first sight, a crate seems to be barbaric as you say. But there are so many advantages of training your dog to sleep in it. We don t have it that much here. Especially for big dogs like Rotties, Great Danes ore Boxers etc. you have the opportunity to put them in a crate when people visiting you are frightened of them. I had a boxer, the loveliest sweetest baby, but strangers changed the side of the road sometimes. Same with Rottweilers. In their heart, they are babies, but they look "dangerous" for most of the people. So, a crate is also a way of telling visitors "come in, the beast is in his cage". 😊😉
There is nothing barbaric about crate training a dog. It gives them a safe space that noone else can go into. Their toys are there, and if they like to burrow under a blanket as our Manchester terrior does, they're in a secure place they know is theirs.

The cutest puppy I've ever seen.
Love your consistency with Rocco.
Also, I believe new baby’s name is Naomi, if I hear correctly? Nice to meet her!
Such good owners. Rocco is so lucky:)❤😘 Bruno had tender loving care too.

I have no opinion on crating but I do think docking is barbaric and that it shouldn't be a common practise
My kids and I enjoy your videos so much! You should done a video on tips for training/walking on and off leash

Our pooch used to munch on cold Carrotts and safe manufactured bones. He also used to like nibbling my hands and arms. I didnt mind cozz it meant he would cuddle up to me

Wrong, they don’t see it as a safe place at all. And it is barbaric to put a dog behind bars.
