I feel especially lucky. When I had to put my rottie down a few months ago she was 15. I knew how amazing that was for her breed especially as we adopted her from the shelter and didn’t know her family health history. Unfortunately we found bone cancer but she lived a great, long life. Still miss her.
I love that u did this video cause my dog was a rottweiler doberman mix he was the most loving faithful dog ever i adopted him when he was 1 yr old and he passed away when he was 14 yrs old
@@jasonjames6870 doesn’t make a difference, if something goes wrong and somethin like a pug reacts and attacks someone it don’t rlly matter but a Rottweiler or a Dobermann it does
@@alexhendry9440 same applies if you own a pug and a loose doberman attacks your dog. My first dog was a rescue Pitbull, and with correct training and a loving home he was a perfect first dog. The key is education and not holding breed prejudice. Jack Russell terriers have killed children in the past, probably from lazy advice like yours. If you want any dog it should be your responsibility to educate yourself not the dogs responsibility. The breed should be chosen simply on matching lifestyle and others energy in the house
@@jasonjames6870 I agree doing research is important, however it can’t fully replace hands on experience, there are a lot of mistakes that can be made from people because they either didn’t see everything or thought it would be easier to do soemthing then it actuall is, E.g. recall training especially with things like RU-vid videos or tiktoks where creators don’t show the full process of training and cram it all into a 5 minute video making it look much easier then it is, potentially giving people false confidence
Help! I have a Rottweiler, I started socializing him early in his life but as he got older he became very dominant and sometimes aggressive toward other dogs. Now it's at a point where I'm not able to allow him off lead around other dogs
With the assumption that proper socialization and obedience classes are in the picture, which of these two breeds is better with small dogs and children?
Amazing animals Rottweiler ❤️. Never had a Doberman but I’m a huge fan. Docking tail is best. Historically correct. My Rottweiler understood my evil eye to behave. You must trot them at least two miles period!!!
@@stephenclark8662 it isn't. The only reason for me would be if they work with the dog for hunting and similar things with a high risk for tail injury but in modern days people cut it of for looks and because the dog won't knock things of your coffee table with it on accident. I prefer them with tails.
@@stephenclark8662 If it is done by a proper vet it isn't bad for the dog per say but that is why I don't like it either and I am happy it is banned in germany for that reason with hunting dogs being the exeption.
@@isabellagust6305 I agree if it damages the dog to hunt with the tail I can understand but otherwise it seems shallow and superficial and just screams lack of self confidence by the owner to have a rottie with a docked tail. Just going for the tough guy look.
Will can you please do a video about sleep howling and how to stop it? Our Rottie pack of four starts sleep howling (beginning with one, starting with the rest) almost every night. Kind of funny, but killing our sleep. We also have guests in a adjacent house who have been woken up by our knuckleheads. Thanks!
Dobermans are more trainable and have a higher obedience level..they also take to bite work better than almost any breed and are extremely leary of strangers and need strong training because they will protect you when you might not need it like when hugging a family member so this needs to be grasped early on so they engage when you want them to..
I have a question, is it good that I barely got a rottweiler for my first dog, I mean my Dad had experience with them as a kid and I'm socializing him pretty good
If you are informing yourself and focus on training and socializing him you can do it. You just have to know that he is a lot of work (more than some other dogs) and you have to put that in.
It is not just socializing, it is training your Rott. He/she needs manors, rules and boundaries. You need to be his leader, his provider, his companion. It is not just to make them livable in your home, but to make them a wonderful example of the breed.
Dobermans are fucking smart. I taught our doberman (as an adult dog) how to shake paw in one day. Literally, the next day he did it on command the first time I asked. You can teach an old dog new tricks if they are a doberman (or maybe ours was just a genius or something).
If you train and socialize your dog, you should not have to worry about dog-dog aggression. All of my Rottweilers were very good with other well-behaved dogs. But all of them stood their ground with an aggressive, out of control dogs.
Is 5 year old Rottie able to be taught how to stop pulling towards other dogs on walks. I got so scared of pulling that i almost completly stopped taking him on walks, but lately i found out about prong collars and I've done over 10 hrs of researche on them and realized they are very useful tool in right hands. So, will it be able to teach my Rottie how to walk normally or is it too late?
please try working with trainers the collar will help you hold him but it still hurts so it should be a last resort or only used for short periods if you need it to keep others safe (no judgement or anything I belive you can do it)
@@isabellagust6305 a properly fitted and used prong/pinch collar will NOT hurt or injure a dog. I was taught to only use Herm Sprenger prong collars. Excellent quality. German made. I was also taught by an experienced trainer how to size and use the prong for training my dogs. If you think they hurt, you have never seen my Rotts do the happy dance when I get their collars out to go for a walk or work. Same thing with electronic training collars. You need to buy a quality one (usually run around $250+ in US dollars). And have an experienced trainer show you how to use them. Same thing, my Rotts know ecollar means we are going out in the field to run and the happy dance ensues.
Docking should be illegal in the US, anybody buying or adopting a dog to make it "look badass" by chopping off body parts shouldn't even have a fucking dog... animals are about love, not a fucking fashion accessory...
