Looking for a couple of helpful Rottweiler training tips for your little tyke? After some careful consideration about those things that Rottweiler owners find the hardest about training, here are a couple of good Rottweiler training tips to get your little bundle of joy in tip top manageable shape..

The one problem that most Rottweiler owners face is showing the Rottweiler who’s boss. Because of the largely dominant character and nature of these animals, they like to be on top of things. And while this may be a very loveable thing when they are young, it can result in a nightmare when they get older.

That being said, let’s have a look at some dominance training – for you as well as your little Rottie.

• Food! Among some of the most popular Rottweiler training tips in terms of dominance, is that one that suggests that taking your dog’s food away for a few seconds while he or she is busy eating. It is advised to start doing this at a young age as older Rottweilers might not be so easy to train in this regard.

• Staring Contest! Yes, have some fun with your dog. The one that can outstare the other one is the dominant one, the other the submissive. Don’t look down and don’t look away – show your Rottie who’s boss!

• Turn them over! Exposing the sensitive and vulnerable underside is a submissive position for any dog. Be sure to do this in a friendly and affectionate way with a lot of praise.

• Reward Success! When your Rottweiler has done something right, reward it. When not, encourage them to try again. This will strengthen the bond between master and dog.

Obedience training in Rottweilers starts with the above. Once you have established that it is you who are the dominant alpha dog, subsequent training and manageability of your Rottweiler will be a breeze.
