How To Train A Rottweiler – Unconditional Love

If you recently added a young Rottweiler puppy to your family or are considering this wonderful breed but are skeptical about the training process, you will be delighted to know that the Rottweiler breed is very intelligent. You will also find that training your new dog will be a lot of fun and exciting, the Rottweiler (more so than most breeds in my opinion) is desperate to do whatever it takes to please you. The breed is one of the most loving and compassionate dogs that you can welcome into your family.

Like most beings on the planet, humans or animals, you will find that the happiest of us all have received a plethora of unconditional love. It is very important when training a Rottweiler to love him like a newborn baby. Personally, I have two rotties and they have turned out to be amazing pets. But … how do you train a huge dog and give him unconditional love at the same time?

One technique I have used could be called the “finger to forehead method.” Animals are very smart, especially Rottweilers, and when they’ve done something wrong, they know … it’s all about your body language. Even before you start verbally scolding them, they know full well that they have broken a rule.

My solution is this: I sit or kneel closer to their level, point to the ground right in front of me, and have them come closer to me. If they are young and do not understand that order very well, get up very calmly and take them to the place where you told them to go. Just get them to lie down and tap them on the head a few times with your finger while saying “Bad boy … Don’t eat the couch.”

It may sound funny, but actually talk to them and tell them exactly what they did wrong and why they are being punished.

Overall this is a very simple process, it might sound a bit strange, but training my Rottweilers with this technique has worked well. It is very non-violent, non-abusive and very much like a human child, they know what they did wrong. Non-violence is very important because it assures the animal that …

1. You are the alpha.
2. You are not going to hurt them.
3. That you love them unconditionally.

Dogs generally have a short short-term memory, so 10 minutes or so after the event, always make sure to introduce him to some affection or play with your Rottweiler.
