What it's like trying to groom a ROTTWEILER 

In my experience, the biggest downside to a well-trained rottie is that they don't understand they are too big for your lap.

He is like, ridiculously well-behaved. His owners must be so flippin proud of him right now.

The happy hoodie never fails to make me giggle.

There is a family down the street that has a Rottweiler. It's way over 100ibs. They also have a boy who is about 7. Every day the boy and dog walk down to the bus stop. The kid gets on the bus and the dog walks itself home. After school is over the dog walks itself to the bus stop and waits for the kid to get off the bus and then they walk home together. It's pretty crazy.

I love how Zeke gave you his paw when you clipped his nails, then simply looked away. He was like, "Here's my paw. I might not like having my nails clipped, but I know it has to be done."

You rarely see them with a full length tail. He’s so precious.

All those kisses. Those soulful eyes. Such a good and gentle boy.

My cousin rescued 4 of these wonderful dogs. they were huge and came from an abusive situation. after 30 days, they had decompressed and their incredible personalities came out. They guarded the home from anyone they did not know, and the oldest always looked to my cousin if a new person could be trusted. The mailman always brought them treats, the UPS guy wanted to steal them all. More than once he found his adult male neighbor playing with them in the yard. A neighborhood girl would throw the ball every morning while waiting for the bus. My sister had a boyfriend though we trusted him, the dogs didnt and he wouldn't go near the house. Turned out the guy was a liar and an abusive alcoholic. He fooled us, but not the 'crew'

His face while getting his nails clipped gave "I don't like this but if I keep still it'll be over with soon." 😍😍

i like how zeke put his paw on the dryer tube as if he was saying “oh, no thank you”

I housesat for my sister earlier this year. Every night, for a week, her big baby of a rottie would come to the bedroom door and wait for me to invite him in, then he'd crawl under the covers with me and sleep with me the whole night. Best dog ever ❤️

The best thing about Rottweilers are those expressive eyebrows! They're so cute! 😍

My aunt has a Rottie and he’s (debatably) the most precious being ever. His Chocolate Lab brother begs to differ though.

i love how he happily gave you paw and then immediately regretted it

Our Rotties used to "herd" my nephews when they went into our fields! They never let them get too far from us and would block them if they felt my nephews were going the wrong way!😂🤣 My nephew even cried once because they wouldn't let him go where he wanted! I gave them loves when they came back! Such good boys with my nephews!😍

I had a rotty as a kid like the lady in the video. We also did not dock his tail, so as to let him speak dog without an accent. Hands down the most gentle, warm, loyal and patient animal I've ever been friends with. He was sometimes wary of strange men and made them check their manners, but would easily let toddlers he just met crawl over him and make mistakes grabbing his whiskers, etc.; he never hurt a single human being in his 13 years.

Our rottie wouldn't walk down the hallway by himself unless the light was on. I think he was just making a fuss so my mom would baby him. He was a precious boy.

You should make a compilation of all the dogs' flappy ears while they're being blow-dried!

I just noticed that Zeke has his tail intact! I love seeing purebreds that haven’t been altered to suit the human need for artificial beauty. He’s a beautiful boy.

I remember meeting a rottweiler once at the park when I was a kid. He had a name like "Spike" and the owner was a young guy who had a sort of goth style to him. The guy was super super nice and the dog seemed happy and like he was treated well but I just remember having this awareness that the dog's name was supposed to sound tough or scary and feeling this dissonance because for the absolute life of me, I could not imagine ever feeling like that dog was tough or scary.

My grandmother’s Rottweiler convinced her neighbors to get one too. Their kid named their dog after my grandma’s dog. So now her street has two Rotties named Chloe. 😂

My friend has a Rottweiler that guards her farm. When he sees someone he knows however, he goes from guarding to absolute goofball, he's so silly xD

Groomer: "alright! High five" Rotti: "awesome! High Five!" give paw Groomer: grabs paw and started nail clipping. Rotti: :0

I love that they didn’t crop his tail. I always learn something about dogs from watching this and most of the time it’s a good laugh. 🥰

Props to the owners of Zeke as well for not docking his tail.

When I was about 4 Years old, my mom was dogsitting a female Rottweiler for a week. She was very calm around me and we played all the time. She was very energetic and whenever we went for a walk and my mom had the leash in her hand, she was pulling my mom along with her sometimes. One time, I kid you not, I took the leash and she was the sweetest, calmest doggie. She didn't pull, went far ahead or anything like that - she also looked back to me to see if I was still there. It was like she was taking me for a walk, taking care of me. Later in life I had a rottweiler-German Shepherd mix (mostly rottweiler), with her I was lucky to have spent 11 years. She's gone for a decade now, I still miss her to this day. Thank you for these amazing videos by the way. They cheer me up when I'm feeling kind of sad. ♥

Wow, I’m surprised to see how calm he was when you clipped his claws! Pugs totally freak out when they get it. This dog is very well behaved. What a good boy.

Love that his tail isn't cut! A natural Rottweiler is so beautiful.

As a veterinarian I am simply delighted in seeing your professional attitude and the correct description of the Rottweiler. I love these big softies that would jump in the fire with no second thoughts to save their owners´ life.

I have a Rottie. I knew their behaviour was a matter of raising them properly, but I still underestimated how he'd be like growing up. He's super clingy and soft. He'll literally lie down on my feet so I won't step away from him. He wants to be by my side and wants me to caress him all day. Also, for the most part he's a couch potato. I've never had such a teddy bear like dog before. I love him with all my heart.

The face during drying makes me laugh every time 🥰🤣

I remember the first time I met a Rottie, I was on my bike, collecting money for a school fundraiser. I live in the countryside and I was going down a hill to one of the local farms, and half way down, I saw this absolute unit standing at the bottom if it, realised it was a Rottie and pulled the brakes. I had never encountered one before, but I knew that it was his territory, so I let him come to check me out. Well...he came over, looked me dead in the eye, and let out the loudest sigh I have ever heard come out of a dog and plonked his breezeblock of a head on my knee, looked at me and his face literally said "luvs pleez". Well you best believe I gave him the absolute heckinest scritches of his life!!!

I remember playing with my grandpa's rotties, Boris and Natasha. 5 year old me in a kiddie pool with these almost 140 pound dogs, splashing and giggling the whole time. They are such sweeties. We recently lost Natasha to old age, she was the alpha of the two and Boris was a henpecked husband. Whenever he'd get too close to anyone for Nats liking she'd bark and growl at him. But when they were alone they'd cuddle up together and it was the sweetest thing ever. We miss you old girl.

"properly bred and trained" keywords to live by when raising a rottie

My family used to have a rottie named Cyrus when my sisters and I were very young, around 3-7 years old. Very kind dog, super sweet, never bit or hurt any of us. My dad got the idea that he might be a good guard dog because of how alert he was and how he seemed to watch after us. My parents tested this by having my dad come home from work one day loudly and angrily, in his full security guard uniform, to see how Cyrus would react. He ran and hid behind my mom.

Zeke looking away while she was clipping his nails is me whenever I blood drawn or anything to do with a needle.

He is gorgeous! I love seeing one who hasn’t had his tail docked-it’s so long and curly!

I grew up with a rottie named Reagan. My earliest childhood memories are of him and I hanging out and playing, I was between 3-4 years old. My father was horrible man and Reagan stood guard by my door every night. I clearly remember one night, when my father attempted to kidnap me through my bedroom window, but Reagan started to bark, alerted my family, and bit my father’s legs until he ran off. Reagan saved my life. Rotties will always have a very special place in my heart, they’re truly angels. ❤️

The instinct to guard is amazing. My mom got 2 pups over the last year(brother and sister but from different litters). When visiting recently and taking one out for a walk. When ever a large vehicle drove past the 1 year old put herself between me and the road and used her body weight to hold me in place away from the vrhicle. I'm 6 foot 4 and had only spent a few days with them. Amazing instincts. She also kept shepherding my 2 kids. Making sure they didn't go wandering off on their 2 acre plot.

I just can't over the red/brown "eyebrows" on a dark background. Such an awesome breed!

I absolutely love the fact that this Rottweiler has his ears and tail intact. BEAUTIFUL DOG! I absolutely hate the idea that there are STILL people who MISTAKENLY believe that butchering a dog's parts is necessary. 😑 It is not. Dogs do not need plastic surgery. 🙄

Twenty years ago, when my sister rescued her first Rotti, I was a bit horrified (I was young and uneducated, cut me some slack), then I actually met Doc for the first time. Doc was a gentle giant of the first order. His favorite game in the world was this variant of Tug Of War where I planted myself on the ground with a rope in my hands and he grabbed the rope and dragged me all around the house until he'd get tired and fall asleep in my lap. He weighed more than me at the time, though, so it took a lot of that to tire him out. But he did love playing tug-tug, and my sister's wood and tile floors always ended up very well dusted (as did the seat of my jeans lol). I have a picture of him I took one Christmas, where my six year old niece is sitting on the floor next to him with a cookie in her hand and he's just staring at that cookie like it's the most enticing treat in the world, but he didn't once try to take it from her or even try to get her attention by whining or pawing. When I called him over and gave him my cookie, he spent the rest of the day reminding me how much he loved me with nuzzles and (very soggy) licks. He was one of the sweetest, gentlest dogs I've ever known (#1 gentlest was a mastiff named Lily, but Doc was a close second), and I found it utterly hilarious that he was scared to death of my sister's free-range chickens. Her cats, on the other hand, loved him and used him as a warm bed and comfy perch.

I had a rottie mix for 9 years. One of the best dogs. He was 120# fit. I remember him at my inlaws one time and 3 of the grandkids were playing around him. One in the dirt at his feet, one rolling a toy truck over his head and shoulders, and another playing with a doll while sitting against his back. He was SO happy at that moment. Another time he was there playing with the sis in law's pittie and the pittie accidentally knocked over one of the nephews and kept running. My rottie had to stop and go back and check on him. ❤ Unfortunately cancer took him in the end. I missed him for a long time.

Oh this dog is just... delightful. Someone give him a hug, he looks like he'd appreciate it. Speaking of wonderful dogs, have you ever groomed a Chow Chow?

When I was 14, I volunteered at my local humane society. Out of all the dogs there, the Rottie was the sweetest one and I’ve wanted one ever since.

These videos are always like: Groomer: These dogs are courageous, bred to protect their families from wolves and bears. Courageous dog: Waaater with SOAAAAP! Hot AAAAAIR!

I love his face when you're clipping his nails. It almost looks like he's pouting

“There is no bad dog only bad owners” -Miyagi if he were talking about dogs

I don’t get how people could be scared of them they’re so adorable

Rottweilers in stereotypes: Eat children and chase people for several miles Rottweilers in reality: Request belly rubs politely

Our Rottie was with us for 13 years. We got her when she was 2 years old, because she couldn't keep up with the horses at her old home and they needed a herding dog. She came to us. My mother has loved Rotties for years, and that dog was the most gentle animal I'd ever come to meet in my lifetime. She loved people and loved our cats. Not once did she ever show aggression, but when our landlord held a fan high up close to my mom, she would never let him in the house again. He didn't hold it against her, either, saying she was simply doing her job and protecting us. She always slept outside of my room, or inside my room on my bed even into old age. I slept next to her on her dog bed too, and she would always watch over me during the night if I was upset. I miss that dog, and it was the best dog we'd ever had.

My grandparents used to breed Rottweilers until I was about 7 years old and the breed was simply to big for them in their old age. My grandmother was always told by neighbors who didn't know her dogs that she was crazy for letting them around her grandkids. But she would. Her female Rottweiler was the best baby sitter and was super gentle with me and my cousins when we where really little in fact she saved my cousin and I from being kidnapped when I was 5 and he was 4. As i have been told by my grandmother this is how it went. My grandmother had to step inside for a quick second to turn off the kitchen timer, and left me and my cousin out side with her breeding pair of Rottweilers. We where playing when a man ran out of his car and grabbed my cousin by the arm. Before he barely had my cousin off the ground the female rottie was off the front porch and bitting him to let go. The male rottie started barking like crazy as the man let go of my cousin and was screaming for her to let go. My grandma came out grabbed my cousin and I put us on the porch before calling the female rottie back. The man screamed at my grandmother and later tried to sue and have the Rottweiler put down. Did get very far cause he apparently admitted to trying to kidnap my cousin and ended up in jail. I don't remember much of that day just the barking and the man shouting but I'm really grateful for those dogs and will always love a Rottweiler.

I love seeing a dog like this with it's natural ears and tail.

My husband’s friend tied his Rottweilers to a picnic table in a beer garden. When they saw me, they ran up to me, smiling, with the picnic table in tow.

Rotties are the sweetest, people pleasing breed. I call them heartbreakers because I wish they had longer lives.

I'll always remember the rottie from the movie "Over the Hedge" whose only line was "PLAY PLAY PLAY" over and over. That movie made me want a rottweiler and I still do

I hope no one is afraid of him after watching this, not only is he really cute and well behaved, he now smells like blueberry pie!!

LOVE Rottweilers especially when they're puppies🥰🥰

There used to be a Rottweiler on my street that all us kids were scared off, we would run past the gate to the house he lived in as he barked like crazy at us, one day i saw the owner and asked is the dog friendly, they told me if he's barking when you pass the gate he just wants your attention and that he's harmless, since then every nearly day i sat and petted him through the gate and then everyone started doing it lol. Scary looking dog with a heart of gold.

I love the fact he has his full tail! So cute to see it wag!

Zeke: "I'm a beast" Also Zeke: "a cuddly beast"

The rottie is like: "You're truly a professional. Here, let me give you some kisses."

What a sweetie, I love that his tail wasn't docked, tails are meant for wagging :) And thats the first time I've seen a dog offer a paw for clipping too. Made me smile

No cut tail. That's my favourite part. And yes, Rotties are such goofballs. My best friend had one that would try to bribe you with sticks, leaves and toys in exchange for pets and kisses. It was all a ruse, as soon as you started givving him attention he'd lean on you, full weight, until either you became prone and thus, his bed; or you would move, wich lead to him having a little tantrum and then starting again the process of trying to buy your affection. He really didn't have a single aggressive cell in his body, didn't even do the infamous rottie rumble. Rest in peace, Bebop, you big dumb dog. You were such a good boy.

the look of bliss mixed with adoration in his eyes as he's being bathed, cared for, rubbed down and caressed.

Rotties are sweethearts. I’m so glad that he still has his tail too.

I love seeing them with long tails. I don't mind having things knocked off my end tables, because it means they are happy.

So glad the owners didn't dock the tail, he looks like an adorable goofball. I want to pet those cheeks!

He's beautiful!!

Zeke and his wonderful flappy ears. He's so lovely.

Our vet and their staff don’t care for Rotties until mine went in for a surgery. They told us the entire building loved him as he was so well behaved. It’s extremely important to be a responsible owner that you remove any bad habits they can have. We owe it to the dog since they’re so loyal.

Why does he just look constantly happy and smiling. He’s absolutely adorable

Love when she holds out her hand and he puts his paw into it for nail clipping. I have fought with smaller dogs to get maybe one nail clipped, and he is so cooperative and polite about it. Good boy!!!

I grew up with them as well. I have never felt threatened with them, and they were some of the best protectors I have ever had.

After the "gimme five", she starts clipping his nails. His look of betrayal was adorable!

I love how she mentions that you need to be an especially attentive owner to these dogs!! My younger brother was attacked by one when he was a young boy (due to a neglectful owner 😔) and ever since then I wanted a rottie of my own to give proper training and care to

I love how Rotties look when they have their full tails. I'm so glad that it's becoming the norm for owners not to dock them.

He clearly liked you even if he was semi ambivalent about his grooming.

My grandmother adopted an elderly rottweiler after her owner couldn't take care of her anymore and that dog was the calmest and kindest dog I've ever met. My brother is terrified of dogs, but he took her out on walks, on his own and loved her so much. Sadly she died too soon and I still miss her, 25 years later. And she's the reason why I laugh when someone says rottweilers are vicious dogs, generally dogs are only bad with bad owners. And that's on ALL dogs.

This is exactly why i love rotties. My hairdresser has a half rottie that’s 130 pounds and convinced she’s a lap dog. No one has the heart to tell her she isn’t.

My aunt has 2 rotties. She's a single mother with 6 kids. Gemini and Cerberus (the 2 rotties), are putty in those kids hands. Always playful and definitely think they're lap dogs!!!

My son adored the book "Good Dog Carl", a wordless book about a very attentive rotty. We giggled together over it for years when he was little. If you've never seen it, I encourage you to check it out!

When I was Very little the neighbour's had Sheba, a breeding female Rottie. Her owners couldn't get near the puppies but she would move them all to the fence for myself and 2 sisters to pet. Sheba also scaled a 4 foot wire fence when some fool tried to come into the yard where we were playing. My mom still remembers how pale he went. Love a Rottie, well treated and socialized there is no bigger sweetheart breed.

I like that his owners let him have his natural tail.

We had all the “Good Dog Carl” books. I have wanted a rotty since then.

What a gentle pup!

I was spoiled by my first dog, a rottweiler named Blitz; he was perfectly trained, barely barked, and loved cats! I've never had another dog that was so easy going and dedicated, I miss him - he definitely thought he was a lap dog.

My favourite breeds are actually the ones that have bad reputations. I've only ever received love from Staffordshire bull terriers, English Pitbulls, and rottweilers. Favourite game my brother in law's rottie used to play: at breakfast we used to give him a piece of French toast, which he would hold in his mouth for the next hour. He would go round to every member of the family and proudly show you his piece of French toast by dropping it at your feet. When you told him he was a good boy he would pick it up and take it to the next family member. Adorable goof.

Makes me smile to see a rottie with a full tail.

I've never seen a Rottie without a docked tail. It's wonderful! He looks so happy and sweet!

My friend's dog is a big rottweiler with SERVER lap dog syndrome (he will step right on every organ) but he is sensitive and cries every time you say "Moochie you have a big butt" 🥺 he's an angel.

The ones who worked pulling the butcher's cart were living their best lives.

I love how so many of her clients do NOT crop their babies' ears or tails 💗

I believe socializing rotties when they are young is the key to adjust their temperament. Had a neighbor who would let his rottie play and interact with other people and dogs and he was quite the good boy. When we moved, a neighbor had a rottie that was always chained up, no wonder it was so aggressive and would often try to chase people passing by their property.

"A properly bred and trained --" Perfect words for all breeds! Rotties are adorable love bugs 🤗

I've only ever gotten to pet a rottie once - the only time she got physical was when she put her paw on my arm because she didn't want me to stop giving her head scratches. They're basically gentle giants and I adore them. 🥰

The part that melted my heart is when he gave her his paw to have his nails clipped. So cute

You know a dog has discipline when you don't even need to lift his paws, she just puts a hand out and the dog gives the paw to her himself.

Growing up, at my dads house when he was away in Iraq, we had new neighbors move in who had a rottie called Maximallion(Max). He would always get out while they were at work and come over to my house to play with me and my brother, it got to the point where my mom basically watched max for the day since he love us kids so much abs playing with out dogs and cats lol. When I was 8 out neighbors moved and when I was 10 my parents got divorced and my mom got a house in town. Legit the same day we moved in my brother goes look it’s max, and low and behold there was a rottie coming up to us, come to find out we ended up moving right next to Max’s new house, he was a such a good Doggo, rotties are great dogs and love children I wish people didn’t give them so much hate 😭♥️

whenever i see big dogs on duty i cant help but cry they are doing such a great job and they are adorable
