Thank you and I hope you enjoy your Rottie as much as I do with mine :D don't for get to check out my channel as there are plenty of training videos there.. :D
Fantastic. This is What i Taught Sophi the watch and touch...at 14wks ..They both do it together...Another fantastic Video..And such a Beautiful fur kid..xxx
Patience is the real key and of course knowing when to keep your mouth shut :) I do beleive in letting the dogs (pups) work it out for them selves, takes a little longer in the beginning but you totally reap the rewards later on :)
Be careful about the slippery floor. When the pup sits he slides backwards. Slippery floors could cause leg joint problems especially where large dog breeds are concerned.
What a beautiful video, thankyou so much for uploading this, we get our ten week old Rottweiler today and feel our children are now ready including myself for another dog for our home sadly missing our last, This will be our first Rotti but know that our dog will have a loving home to come to for all it's life and can't wait to play and train our dog this way and get our children involved this much too, thanks and kind regards
I love your dog and was looking for one but can't afford the money they are going for a around my way. Don't want one from dodgy breeders so at the moment just watch vids to get my dose of loving Rotties
Carly Montague I am picking a 4 week old pup this week. I have never had any pup in the past and I liked seeing your video. Do you suggest training the pup myself or by some professional? I think self will create a better bond and understanding. What else would you want to suggest? Thank you.
Did you say the pup you are picking up is 4 weeks? That's way to young to leave it's mother and littermates. I suggest you look for another breeder as this one doesn't have your pups best interest at heart!
Hey I have a question, I'll be picking up a rottie pup at the age of 10 weeks, do you think it'll have negative influence on training since the puppy won't be as young as 8 weeks? What commands do you recommend first to start with a 10 week old pup besides "No" , "Come", "Sit" and "Leave" ?
10 weeks or even 10 months old, as long as you start off as you mean to go on is the important part, Roobie Roo did not come to me until she was about 10/11 months old, 6 months later she was in the obedience ring doing training rounds and 6 months after that she won out of Novice. So she learnt at this house we do a fun thing called training and a lot of it LOL Puppies\dogs name and then watch are my first commands, "sit" does not get no more attention than "Down" or "Stand".
hi carly, i have a 10 wk old rottweiler, he can sit, lay down watch, but he doesnt like to leave a toy, he growls aggresivly and holds it tight in his mouth, how do i get him to release the toy please, also hes very small for 10 wks, i feed him 4 times a day, how much of pro plan do u feed at each meal pls
What sort of company does she have in the day? What sort of exercise does she have? What do you feed her ? How long can she be left on her own? and how long is she left for per day ? Do you have any other dogs or children in the house ?
Hey nice video good job man, question my rottie is also 10 weeks old I saw the feeding bowls you have for him mines aren't like that I have the regular ones low, is there any reason why you have the raised ones like that?
No, OK PoohBear was shown for a while, did well and qualified and went to crufts, as I do so much obedience found doing showing quite hard on PoohBear as he did not want to take his eyes off you which you need for competitive obedience but not for showing when running. You will need to research other youtube video's about stacking (PoohBear's command for stacking was "Show Stand", as he knew how to walk backwards I found it easy to walk him backwards into a stack position).
how does your Rottie listen to you like this, I have a 10 weeks old puppy too but I can only do with him "sit" and "spin" all of the other things is impossible with him, I cant even teach him "down" because he always gets up instead of getting down.
Puppies get distracted so easy, so find a space where they are less distractions and speed is part of it, keeping things moving at a pace and of course making it fun. When my dogs see the training bag they go mad as they love training as it's a fun time. Also note if I ask for a down, as soon as they are down I mark it with a "Yes", if they get back up again it's not a problem as I have marked it when their were in a down and they can have a treat, then very quickly they start to understand what they are meant to do...
feeding with profine puppy chicken&potatoes, 4 times a day. I'm thinking to change after we reach 15 weeks old. Up to last week, I added water. But he started to refuse. Now he eats without adding water. I guess he liked to use the food also for "dental scratcher" for his coming toothes. Thanks again&again for your previous& upcoming guides.
I have a 3 years old rottweiler she is female . When i go play with her she jumps on me and sometimes barks on me and gets really angry . She is 80 % of the day alone , i feeding her with speciall food for dogs and 1 breand with milk in the day ,i can't go out with her she pulls to much, and i dont have other dogs and childrens in the house ? Can i make my rottweiller be good puppy ? Please reply
They are all so so special every single one of them... of course we all have the best ones at home with us :)

He's so smart! I have a question. I have my Rottie for 4 days and he turned 8 weeks today. I watched your videos and I try to do with him the same things BUT he is hyperactive (of course) and it's very hard. For example, when I try command SIT, he always tries to catch the treat by its paws and jumps. I see your puppy was pretty calm doing this :( I know I can't expect much :) and we can do it just for like an half minute, because then he losts interest. Can you recommend me what should I do? Sorry for my English, I hope you'll understand :)
This is a good video to watch of Lady Lara being trained at 8 weeks, ruclips.net/video/aQhKjEFr6Wc/видео.html If you notice I don't flap my hands about, I don't lift my hands up so they are just out of reach, I hold food in my hand my dogs can smell it, lick it but don't get it until they do something, also note I'm down low with my pup, she does jump on me but I just guide her off, not making a fuss etc. The other big thing to remember is English is not the first nor second language for dogs :) I have not watched that video in a while and I noticed I did a lot of capturing which means the dog did something and I rewarded the dog for doing it but I had not ask for the dog to do it.. Capturing is very powerful.
My rottweiler is female and she is 3 years old. She is so angry , when i go to play with she , she maybe will attack me, sometimes she barks on me . Can i make her to be good puppy and with what ??? tnx a lot
We are talking nine weeks here not nine months.. They won't be guarding anything at nine weeks and being puppies they will still be sleeping alot as they are growing very fast indeed etc. Up to about 4 months old 4 meals, then 3 meals until about 6\8 months (depends on their grow rate etc) then onto 2 meals etc. Note don't over feed thinking you will get a big dog at the end, you could end up with a big dog with poor bone growth... health first always, they get big in their own time :D
Must be going mad as I'm so sure I have answered this question, anyway, I use their meals during training, i.e. for a young pup they will have four meals a day, 2 they just have and 2 I use for training. As for walks don't walk a young Rottie too far, no longer than 1 minute per weeks old i.e. 14 week old pup, 14 minutes max..
excellent, sounds like you are doing well... I always teach my dog a "down" from a stand (not a sit, as you get lazy downs from sits), I place a peice of food in the palm of my hand and hold it with my thumb, then I turn my hand upside down close the ground between the dogs front legs leaving enough room for the dog to get it's nose under, more often than not they will drop to the floor to get to the food, as soon as they do, mark it "Yes" and drop the food in the floor (important bit)...
does not matter what age they are they can all be trained :) I had a rehome girlie OK about 1 year old but zero training except for a show stand... did not take her long to get the basic and a few months later started to bring home rosettes for odebience :)
Hi, Love the video, and the great relationship you have with your Rottie. Very nice. Our Rottie Charley Bear is 7 months now, and we love him. Kind Regards, Dawn
That's his dinner, 6 weeks, very yound pup.. anyway I take it you are feeding your pup 4 or even 5 times a day, on what food ? when I have a young pup I make 2 of their dinner times training times and hence they get their dinner.. I feed yound dogs on Pro Plan Puppy Large Robust (add water to it to soften it up)
it's really good that you want to learn how to teach a Rottweiler even more so before you get the dog... having a good trainer is important, find some different classes and go and watch a few them, ask the other people there what they think of the classes etc. All my dogs (including my 5 1/2 year olds) go to class every week (more really as they come to classes that I teach at too), OK, I do competitive obedience and I need an training to watch me to make sure I'm not giving away any signals etc
So Carly in regards to your response to my reply, how exactly do you expect them to get proper training if you feed them so much meals and they are always full?? Ideally, when a dog is being trained with treats, they should be trained when they are hungry so that they can be more motivated
I feed my dogs on Arden Grange (www.ardengrange.com/), (OMG)Winnie would have been on 4 meals a day there at that age, some people move to 2 meals as soon as they can, you just have to remember they have small stomach so small but more meals is better, but not everyone has the time..
Will be appreciated :) Actually my puppy is 6 weeks old, and especially "right guides" will be unbelievebly helpfull in a short time. Carly, what reward you use? Winnie looks he likes it very much.
wow,.come train my pitbull 8 week old please 🤣. idk if you'll answer but do you push butt down for sit, than give treat? kinda lay them down and say good - down & try to get them to stay by placing treats down? How on earth did you train the food in hand trick. Great trainer! Bravo!!
No, you should be able to get the result you want with luring them with treats or toys. If you are going to be physical (hands on your dog), for a sit don't push the backside down, even puppies can resist and you could end up damaging them, I would place one hand flat palm at their backside (their tail going through my fingers) and with the other hand I would place it on their chest and lift their chest slightly upwards, this naturally makes them them want to go backwards, they can't as you hand is there and 99% of the time their backside will just go down.
Carly Montague thank you for offering me kind advise. I find your method of training wonderdul. I wish you were in my area! 🤣 I THINK Ihave a problem with a very aggressive pitbill puppy? The reason I say this is because he was just rescued a drug house & his parents are VERY, VERY animal aggressive to the point where the owner is in jail right now because my puppies dad killex & tore up a cat ( apparently not the first time). Therefore, my concern is Gunny's aggression with discipline. If for instance he is puppy mouthing, or biting & I tried Ceasor Millons way & that makes it worse! So, I was told to take him by the chin formly and say NO! HAHA yea riggt, he will fight me BUT I do not ket up & he'll finally stop, but sometimes whwn I take my hands off of his face he'll become aggressive again and I have to start over. again. When he stops Im using your method, YES, good boy.. We just bought him so we have a collar & leash on the way! This is a mess too now. He ised to come with treats and will when in a small boed in area. But as for outside, NOPE he will ignore me to a point where he'll go hide under something, sit, or laydown and look at me 🤤 like..Hahaha. The thing is this is not funny to me, this is a problem. I have no intensions of letting him go but HE'S A HANDFUL! What am I doing wrong? Has he picked up on his parents temperments? Is this normal behavior, because I can't remember my Rottweiler beinv like this or my pitbull. One more question, my husband has been putting him on his back, he is so strong & will NOT relax, he will fight you. Is this too young of an age to be trying to get him to submit, we want him to know who the pack leader is & he isn't having it. Once his leash & collar come than what?
It's hard to give real advise without seeing the puppy and owner together and how they interact with each other and how the puppy interacts with the environment in. In young dogs biting can be a few different things usually play biting is just part of learning, teething can be a problem to some dogs and have the need to chew and bite all the time and another top main reasons for biting is to gain attention. Fighting aggression with aggression is a path I would not go down. People really don't understand what a pack leader is, which in dogs is a very strong confident dog, do NOT confuse strength with aggression (they are 2 different things) which a lot of people do, so to be come the pack leader you have to show\earn the confidence of the dog. With regards to biting if I know it's not teething, I would say No in a firm voice and then ignore the dog, just do something else and then when I'm ready I will interact with the dog. Lady Lara was a nippy dog as she wanted to play all the time and this was her way of trying to get attention, what I did a lot was after she tried nipping my feet I would tell her no, not talk to her and go and get a toy, then I would start to play with it, of course she wanted to join in, I would carry on ignoring her and played with the toy, as soon as she showed some restraint (usual would sit or go into a down) I would then allowed her to play with the toy with me. With regards to a collar and lead, I start off by teaching my dogs the commands "Collar On", "Collar Off" and I train it like anything else, "Collar On" I then put the collar on, "Yes" and treat the dog, same for "Collar Off", so now the dogs go and get their collars when going out as they know they will get a treat (to be honest most of the time PoohBear gets most of the collars as he knows he will be double treated LOL ). Then repeat the same thing with the lead, "Lead On", clip the lead on, "Yes" and treat, same with "Lead Off", so most of the time if I just hold the clip of the lead they just come over as they know it's time to go onto the lead and they will be praised and treat (sometimes). Also teach them about the lead in the house, i.e. walk about with the lead on in the house so when you do out, the lead is nothing new for the pup to worry about.. What age was the puppy rescued? how old is the puppy now?

Carly Montague well unfortinetly, having had 3 powerful dogs before. This pup is not takibg NO well. He is exercised, has tons of proper chew toys, and hide, he is simply acting very aggresive after he is just play biting and were saying NO, and holding his face because nothing else is working, even this is a battle but were following through with it so he knows who's the pack leader. I don't believe or want anything to do with dog fighting, abusing a dog, or some put their finger in the dogs mouth when they get bitten & sqeeze hsrd on the gums, sorry but ai'm not partaking in that cruel method. I do my beat to stay calm & assertive, but he's so young. Anyway, regarding a question I was hoping to get advise on whst to do about this? IS laying him on his back a true way to stop this behavior, & waiting until he stops fighting it and simply relaxes? I will not raise this kind of dog and when he's old enough will hire a trainer once he's done woth his parvo series, and shots. I'm graspingasping for straws here 😢 You've been so kind thank you sir!

Need some more videos like these, imma get 2 rotties soon and I want to train them very well, it´s been 12 years or so I haven´t get dogs so I want to do my best :)
They are growing up beutifully, they play hard each other, they respect all boundaries in the family, love to play with my 3 years old boy and they do obey all commands I taught them. Thanks for the input too.
with fetch I teach it from tuggy games, I do a lot of tugging and teach them to leave it when I have both my hands on it. once they have that, every now and then I will drop the tuggy to the floor and as soon as they pick it up mark it "Yes" start playing again, keep repeating, then throw the tuggy a little further away (we are talking feet here only), I also find playing in a narrow hall helps as they can't run away, if they do, I take the toy away, so I make sure the game is only fun with me.
Thank you very much for this amazing video. I can say that, it encouraged me so much, so that I believe I can do something with my Rott. puppy. Thanks again, and wait for more videos from you.
As soon as a dog enters my house training starts, but nothing intense, first things to teach a dog is it's Name and then loads and loads of play, recalls however play is so so important I can't stress that enough, you don't see it in my videos but there is so much play going on in between filming, and to me this is how I start to bond with dogs...
watch the video closely, the dog is more sitting on the hand signal rather than the command.... so by bring your hand up in front of their face and stopping just out of reach wait and mark with a "Yes" when they sit..
I'm starting a new group on Facebook called Working As One which will be about dog training (and of course Rottweilers) :) please feel free to come and look it up for a chat or any questions you may have (my FB alias is workingasone)
My 9 Week Old Puppy Rottie, Knows How To Sit,Stay, Come,Walk With Or Without A Leash, And He's Almost Fully Pottie Trained, I Think Im Doing Fine. He Just Needs To Learn How To Lay Down On Command, Along With Barking,Growling And His Fetching Is Pretty Good. He Gets It But Doesn't Exactly Give It To Me. He Lays It Like 2 feet away but yeah :)
Very easy if you get your timing right, don't over exercise them when they are young and growing, take it easy let their bones harden up before really running them etc..
Thanks Tracy, just waiting for some nice weather to do some more vids.... and I have a new Rottie or 2 in the pipeline so I may make more of vid diary, include more of how to get really started on all the exercises :)
Rottweilers need a lot company so it sounds like she is a bit crazy with the lack of it. Special dog food ? what food, dry, wet, raw etc ? Bread and Milk, well just like us (humans) and most animals we can't break down all cows milk enzymes, I would give goats milk and mix heavly with water, i.e 1 part milk to 3 parts water.. Have you thought about using a Halti ? (halti.co.uk)
Right! Congratulations, well, I would like to know how to learn to teach, I will adopt a puppy rottweiler and let me know how to train. u used books? Sorry for my bad eng, im from Venezuela :dd
With Winnie I started at 7 weeks old I would train him a few times a day but only for 5 minutes (or less), but you can see at 10 weeks you can go for a lot lot longer... Note: at 14 months old he has won his first Open Novice (only the 3rd time worked in the ring, the 2nd time he got 2nd and the first time came about 8th as he broke his stays)..
Hi Joe, If you have read some of my other comments you will notice that I train with some their meals, that way you don't unbalance their diet. Also what you have to be careful of if you have a really really hungry dog, it won't really be thinking about what it is doing, it will just want the food period, getting a dog to think about what it is doing is the best way to train it, and of course it gets treats as rewards :D
Training starts the day they come home, remember make training so much fun then they want to train with you more and more and every day :) Have a look at my other vids for more ideas :D and remember to share your training with your Girlie......
I could have sworn I relied to this.. Sorry about that.. Large dogs can eat and drink better with elevated bowls. However do note the bowls in the background are for my other dogs even though at the time he did stand on his tiptoes to drink from them :)
Variety, mainly their own dinners when they are young, that way you don't unbalance their diet. When they get older and you are training in a hall then the more smelly and high end treats come out... I do give them small bits of heart as the fat content is low etc. when they are young and just starting to go to halls etc.
Then you must have land for sale, (OMG)Winnie was 10 weeks and 3 days old when that video was taken, born on the 6th August 2011 (yes his birthday is in 2 days time), you can check my FaceBook as everything is open to the public and you will see when you scroll back through the years I have posted his birthday up every year.
+Carly Montague you named your male Rottie Winnie? ha-ha.. so how much does he weigh now? I realize not all rotties grow the same, but normally a10 weeks Rottie would weight around 15 -17 pounds.. your dog looks more like 25 or so..
Winnie as in Winnie the Pooh or Winston Churchill.. He's about 46-47 Kg (that's about 102 pounds) now. I do keep the weights of my dogs recorded but I can't seam to find his at the moment..
Nah, he's was about right for his age... I was very lucky as he grew in good proportion for the first 12 months, then went a little long in his body but the rest of him soon caught up :)
Sorry, but they don't have to be on 4 meals a day. My father & uncle breed rottweilers & travel to the rottweiler expo every year in Germany: highly experienced with these types of dogs. They would tell you that 4 meals a day make them lazy & they do not make good guard dogs when you feed them so much. I have a rottie pup myself & I find that he is much more attentive & energetic when I feed him two meals a day. But I do agree that they should be with someone most times @ this age.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!! Picking up a rottie this weekend. Researching for a whole year and must say I love this training video so much! Great work with him!
Thank you and I hope you enjoy your Rottie as much as I do with mine :D don't for get to check out my channel as there are plenty of training videos there.. :D
I m confused between gsd and rottie any suggestions?
Sanjay Gidwani gsd are much more hyper active and shed a ton more. This is why I prefer Rottie
Fantastic. This is What i Taught Sophi the watch and touch...at 14wks ..They both do it together...Another fantastic Video..And such a Beautiful fur kid..xxx
Patience is the real key and of course knowing when to keep your mouth shut :)
I do beleive in letting the dogs (pups) work it out for them selves, takes a little longer in the beginning but you totally reap the rewards later on :)
Be careful about the slippery floor. When the pup sits he slides backwards. Slippery floors could cause leg joint problems especially where large dog breeds are concerned.
I love the patience he has with this little pup but also like seeing that the pup is not being punished for being a pup. :)
What a beautiful video, thankyou so much for uploading this, we get our ten week old Rottweiler today and feel our children are now ready including myself for another dog for our home sadly missing our last, This will be our first Rotti but know that our dog will have a loving home to come to for all it's life and can't wait to play and train our dog this way and get our children involved this much too, thanks and kind regards
I love your dog and was looking for one but can't afford the money they are going for a around my way. Don't want one from dodgy breeders so at the moment just watch vids to get my dose of loving Rotties
Carly Montague I am picking a 4 week old pup this week. I have never had any pup in the past and I liked seeing your video. Do you suggest training the pup myself or by some professional? I think self will create a better bond and understanding. What else would you want to suggest? Thank you.
Did you say the pup you are picking up is 4 weeks? That's way to young to leave it's mother and littermates. I suggest you look for another breeder as this one doesn't have your pups best interest at heart!
Hey I have a question, I'll be picking up a rottie pup at the age of 10 weeks, do you think it'll have negative influence on training since the puppy won't be as young as 8 weeks? What commands do you recommend first to start with a 10 week old pup besides "No" , "Come", "Sit" and "Leave" ?
10 weeks or even 10 months old, as long as you start off as you mean to go on is the important part, Roobie Roo did not come to me until she was about 10/11 months old, 6 months later she was in the obedience ring doing training rounds and 6 months after that she won out of Novice. So she learnt at this house we do a fun thing called training and a lot of it LOL
Puppies\dogs name and then watch are my first commands, "sit" does not get no more attention than "Down" or "Stand".
hi carly, i have a 10 wk old rottweiler, he can sit, lay down watch, but he doesnt like to leave a toy, he growls aggresivly and holds it tight in his mouth, how do i get him to release the toy please, also hes very small for 10 wks, i feed him 4 times a day, how much of pro plan do u feed at each meal pls
Wendy Mclellan prob got worms. Exchange the toy with something else the dog wants until he or she learns release.
What sort of company does she have in the day?
What sort of exercise does she have?
What do you feed her ?
How long can she be left on her own?
and how long is she left for per day ?
Do you have any other dogs or children in the house ?
Hey nice video good job man, question my rottie is also 10 weeks old I saw the feeding bowls you have for him mines aren't like that I have the regular ones low, is there any reason why you have the raised ones like that?
P.S. Do you show your dogs? If so, what's the easiest way to learn your puppy to stack?
No, OK PoohBear was shown for a while, did well and qualified and went to crufts, as I do so much obedience found doing showing quite hard on PoohBear as he did not want to take his eyes off you which you need for competitive obedience but not for showing when running. You will need to research other youtube video's about stacking (PoohBear's command for stacking was "Show Stand", as he knew how to walk backwards I found it easy to walk him backwards into a stack position).
I just picked up my rotti 2 weeks ago he is 10 weeks old now. Need to start training him great videos and keep them coming. Thanks
Thank you and good luck with your pup..
Carly Montague My rotti pup is 1 month but i had trained her a lot in just 1 week
***** They grow up way too fast, Ho-hum can always get another one :)
Where did you buy him in a dog shelter or a dog seller
Or breeder
how does your Rottie listen to you like this, I have a 10 weeks old puppy too but I can only do with him "sit" and "spin" all of the other things is impossible with him, I cant even teach him "down" because he always gets up instead of getting down.

This is a good video to watch of Lady Lara being trained at 8 weeks, ruclips.net/video/aQhKjEFr6Wc/видео.html
If you notice I don't flap my hands about, I don't lift my hands up so they are just out of reach, I hold food in my hand my dogs can smell it, lick it but don't get it until they do something, also note I'm down low with my pup, she does jump on me but I just guide her off, not making a fuss etc. The other big thing to remember is English is not the first nor second language for dogs :) I have not watched that video in a while and I noticed I did a lot of capturing which means the dog did something and I rewarded the dog for doing it but I had not ask for the dog to do it.. Capturing is very powerful.
My rottweiler is female and she is 3 years old. She is so angry , when i go to play with she , she maybe will attack me, sometimes she barks on me . Can i make her to be good puppy and with what ??? tnx a lot
We are talking nine weeks here not nine months.. They won't be guarding anything at nine weeks and being puppies they will still be sleeping alot as they are growing very fast indeed etc.
Up to about 4 months old 4 meals, then 3 meals until about 6\8 months (depends on their grow rate etc) then onto 2 meals etc. Note don't over feed thinking you will get a big dog at the end, you could end up with a big dog with poor bone growth... health first always, they get big in their own time :D
i love your vid/training method for pups. our boy is already 2, should of found this earlier. thank you sharing!
What time of day do you do these training sessions? Before feeding, after a walk? when is the best time to do these sessions with puppy?
Must be going mad as I'm so sure I have answered this question, anyway, I use their meals during training, i.e. for a young pup they will have four meals a day, 2 they just have and 2 I use for training. As for walks don't walk a young Rottie too far, no longer than 1 minute per weeks old i.e. 14 week old pup, 14 minutes max..
excellent, sounds like you are doing well...
I always teach my dog a "down" from a stand (not a sit, as you get lazy downs from sits), I place a peice of food in the palm of my hand and hold it with my thumb, then I turn my hand upside down close the ground between the dogs front legs leaving enough room for the dog to get it's nose under, more often than not they will drop to the floor to get to the food, as soon as they do, mark it "Yes" and drop the food in the floor (important bit)...
does not matter what age they are they can all be trained :)
I had a rehome girlie OK about 1 year old but zero training except for a show stand... did not take her long to get the basic and a few months later started to bring home rosettes for odebience :)
Hi, Love the video, and the great relationship you have with your Rottie. Very nice.
Our Rottie Charley Bear is 7 months now, and we love him. Kind Regards, Dawn
is it easy to train a rottweiler puppy because im getting a 12 week old rottie some time this month and are they a health breed
Excellent video! What treats are you giving Winnie?
That's his dinner, 6 weeks, very yound pup.. anyway I take it you are feeding your pup 4 or even 5 times a day, on what food ?
when I have a young pup I make 2 of their dinner times training times and hence they get their dinner.. I feed yound dogs on Pro Plan Puppy Large Robust (add water to it to soften it up)
it's really good that you want to learn how to teach a Rottweiler even more so before you get the dog... having a good trainer is important, find some different classes and go and watch a few them, ask the other people there what they think of the classes etc. All my dogs (including my 5 1/2 year olds) go to class every week (more really as they come to classes that I teach at too), OK, I do competitive obedience and I need an training to watch me to make sure I'm not giving away any signals etc
So Carly in regards to your response to my reply, how exactly do you expect them to get proper training if you feed them so much meals and they are always full?? Ideally, when a dog is being trained with treats, they should be trained when they are hungry so that they can be more motivated
how many times did you feed your puppy and what meals did you give it ?
I feed my dogs on Arden Grange (www.ardengrange.com/), (OMG)Winnie would have been on 4 meals a day there at that age, some people move to 2 meals as soon as they can, you just have to remember they have small stomach so small but more meals is better, but not everyone has the time..
Will be appreciated :) Actually my puppy is 6 weeks old, and especially "right guides" will be unbelievebly helpfull in a short time.
Carly, what reward you use? Winnie looks he likes it very much.
She is a He.... and he has trained me very well in the art of cuddles and snuggles and providing very nice food :D
wow,.come train my pitbull 8 week old please 🤣.
idk if you'll answer but do you push butt down for sit, than give treat?
kinda lay them down and say good - down & try to get them to stay by placing treats down?
How on earth did you train the food in hand trick.
Great trainer! Bravo!!
No, you should be able to get the result you want with luring them with treats or toys.
If you are going to be physical (hands on your dog), for a sit don't push the backside down, even puppies can resist and you could end up damaging them, I would place one hand flat palm at their backside (their tail going through my fingers) and with the other hand I would place it on their chest and lift their chest slightly upwards, this naturally makes them them want to go backwards, they can't as you hand is there and 99% of the time their backside will just go down.
Carly Montague thank you for offering me kind advise.
I find your method of training wonderdul.
I wish you were in my area! 🤣
I THINK Ihave a problem with a very aggressive pitbill puppy?
The reason I say this is because he was just rescued a drug house & his parents are VERY, VERY animal aggressive to the point where the owner is in jail right now because my puppies dad killex & tore up a cat ( apparently not the first time).
Therefore, my concern is Gunny's aggression with discipline. If for instance he is puppy mouthing, or biting & I tried Ceasor Millons way & that makes it worse!
So, I was told to take him by the chin formly and say NO! HAHA yea riggt, he will fight me BUT I do not ket up & he'll finally stop, but sometimes whwn I take my hands off of his face he'll become aggressive again and I have to start over.
again. When he stops Im using your method, YES, good boy..
We just bought him so we have a collar & leash on the way!
This is a mess too now. He ised to come with treats and will when in a small boed in area. But as for outside, NOPE he will ignore me to a point where he'll go hide under something, sit, or laydown and look at me 🤤 like..Hahaha.
The thing is this is not funny to me, this is a problem.
I have no intensions of letting him go but HE'S A HANDFUL!
What am I doing wrong?
Has he picked up on his parents temperments?
Is this normal behavior, because I can't remember my Rottweiler beinv like this or my pitbull.
One more question, my husband has been putting him on his back, he is so strong & will NOT relax, he will fight you. Is this too young of an age to be trying to get him to submit, we want him to know who the pack leader is & he isn't having it.
Once his leash & collar come than what?
It's hard to give real advise without seeing the puppy and owner together and how they interact with each other and how the puppy interacts with the environment in.
In young dogs biting can be a few different things usually play biting is just part of learning, teething can be a problem to some dogs and have the need to chew and bite all the time and another top main reasons for biting is to gain attention.
Fighting aggression with aggression is a path I would not go down. People really don't understand what a pack leader is, which in dogs is a very strong confident dog, do NOT confuse strength with aggression (they are 2 different things) which a lot of people do, so to be come the pack leader you have to show\earn the confidence of the dog.
With regards to biting if I know it's not teething, I would say No in a firm voice and then ignore the dog, just do something else and then when I'm ready I will interact with the dog. Lady Lara was a nippy dog as she wanted to play all the time and this was her way of trying to get attention, what I did a lot was after she tried nipping my feet I would tell her no, not talk to her and go and get a toy, then I would start to play with it, of course she wanted to join in, I would carry on ignoring her and played with the toy, as soon as she showed some restraint (usual would sit or go into a down) I would then allowed her to play with the toy with me.
With regards to a collar and lead, I start off by teaching my dogs the commands "Collar On", "Collar Off" and I train it like anything else, "Collar On" I then put the collar on, "Yes" and treat the dog, same for "Collar Off", so now the dogs go and get their collars when going out as they know they will get a treat (to be honest most of the time PoohBear gets most of the collars as he knows he will be double treated LOL ).
Then repeat the same thing with the lead, "Lead On", clip the lead on, "Yes" and treat, same with "Lead Off", so most of the time if I just hold the clip of the lead they just come over as they know it's time to go onto the lead and they will be praised and treat (sometimes). Also teach them about the lead in the house, i.e. walk about with the lead on in the house so when you do out, the lead is nothing new for the pup to worry about..
What age was the puppy rescued? how old is the puppy now?

Carly Montague well unfortinetly, having had 3 powerful dogs before. This pup is not takibg NO well.
He is exercised, has tons of proper chew toys, and hide, he is simply acting very aggresive after he is just play biting and were saying NO, and holding his face because nothing else is working, even this is a battle but were following through with it so he knows who's the pack leader.
I don't believe or want anything to do with dog fighting, abusing a dog, or
some put their finger in the dogs mouth when they get bitten & sqeeze hsrd on the gums, sorry but ai'm not partaking in that cruel method.
I do my beat to stay calm & assertive, but he's so young.
Anyway, regarding a question I was hoping to get advise on whst to do about this?
IS laying him on his back a true way to stop this behavior, & waiting until he stops fighting it and simply relaxes? I will not raise this kind of dog and when he's old enough will hire a trainer once he's done woth his parvo series, and shots.
I'm graspingasping for straws here 😢
You've been so kind thank you sir!
Need some more videos like these, imma get 2 rotties soon and I want to train them very well, it´s been 12 years or so I haven´t get dogs so I want to do my best :)
jajajaja...
check my channel out, there are many training videos there, a new series of Lady Lara, they should give you ideas of what you can do with your dogs :D
ty, I have them now and the male is very fighting chewing than the female, but she owns him and make him obidient to her
Imma means I am a, if it is a word...
They are growing up beutifully, they play hard each other, they respect all boundaries in the family, love to play with my 3 years old boy and they do obey all commands I taught them. Thanks for the input too.
with fetch I teach it from tuggy games, I do a lot of tugging and teach them to leave it when I have both my hands on it. once they have that, every now and then I will drop the tuggy to the floor and as soon as they pick it up mark it "Yes" start playing again, keep repeating, then throw the tuggy a little further away (we are talking feet here only), I also find playing in a narrow hall helps as they can't run away, if they do, I take the toy away, so I make sure the game is only fun with me.
very nice puppy.
Thank you very much for this amazing video. I can say that, it encouraged me so much, so that I believe I can do something with my Rott. puppy. Thanks again, and wait for more videos from you.
what kind of treats are you feeding him?
That's his dinner, Pro Plan Puppy Large Robust.. Once my pup is ready for adult food I use Arden Grange...
how did u teach him to watch?
Hey Carly, i have 6 week old Rottie.So, when should i start to train him?
As soon as a dog enters my house training starts, but nothing intense, first things to teach a dog is it's Name and then loads and loads of play, recalls however play is so so important I can't stress that enough, you don't see it in my videos but there is so much play going on in between filming, and to me this is how I start to bond with dogs...
Carly Montague Thanks a lot and you have the best friends in the world.
What age they start picking up ? And take it to seriouse
Can you expand on what you mean please.
Carly Montague like what age usually the puppy focus on listing to your command
you are welcome, just glad you enjoyed it :)
He's soooo smart . Ps getting my new pup rottie next week
watch the video closely, the dog is more sitting on the hand signal rather than the command.... so by bring your hand up in front of their face and stopping just out of reach wait and mark with a "Yes" when they sit..
I'm starting a new group on Facebook called Working As One which will be about dog training (and of course Rottweilers) :) please feel free to come and look it up for a chat or any questions you may have (my FB alias is workingasone)
My 9 Week Old Puppy Rottie, Knows How To Sit,Stay, Come,Walk With Or Without A Leash, And He's Almost Fully Pottie Trained, I Think Im Doing Fine. He Just Needs To Learn How To Lay Down On Command, Along With Barking,Growling And His Fetching Is Pretty Good. He Gets It But Doesn't Exactly Give It To Me. He Lays It Like 2 feet away but yeah :)
You are very good this man.....And you have a healthy rottweiler...:D
Very easy if you get your timing right, don't over exercise them when they are young and growing, take it easy let their bones harden up before really running them etc..
Thanks Tracy, just waiting for some nice weather to do some more vids.... and I have a new Rottie or 2 in the pipeline so I may make more of vid diary, include more of how to get really started on all the exercises :)
you are great
Rottweilers need a lot company so it sounds like she is a bit crazy with the lack of it.
Special dog food ? what food, dry, wet, raw etc ?
Bread and Milk, well just like us (humans) and most animals we can't break down all cows milk enzymes, I would give goats milk and mix heavly with water, i.e 1 part milk to 3 parts water..
Have you thought about using a Halti ? (halti.co.uk)
Right! Congratulations, well, I would like to know how to learn to teach, I will adopt a puppy rottweiler and let me know how to train. u used books? Sorry for my bad eng, im from Venezuela :dd
With Winnie I started at 7 weeks old I would train him a few times a day but only for 5 minutes (or less), but you can see at 10 weeks you can go for a lot lot longer...
Note: at 14 months old he has won his first Open Novice (only the 3rd time worked in the ring, the 2nd time he got 2nd and the first time came about 8th as he broke his stays)..
Awesome video!
Impressive. Quick learner for sure.
Hi Joe, If you have read some of my other comments you will notice that I train with some their meals, that way you don't unbalance their diet.
Also what you have to be careful of if you have a really really hungry dog, it won't really be thinking about what it is doing, it will just want the food period, getting a dog to think about what it is doing is the best way to train it, and of course it gets treats as rewards :D
Wow, he's only 10 weeks old? He is pretty big for his age!
I cant find that Video on your channel?!?!
great dog im getting a dogo argentino puppy next week.
There will be a couple of new vids coming within the next 2 weeks :)
Thank you very much for this wonderful video.
Peter? is it you? Mr. Griffin? Yesss!
I get my girl in about 3 weeks. thanks for sharing!
Training starts the day they come home, remember make training so much fun then they want to train with you more and more and every day :)
Have a look at my other vids for more ideas :D
and remember to share your training with your Girlie......
you are so patient 😘
beautiful Rotti
Glad you liked it :)
Thank you
I could have sworn I relied to this.. Sorry about that..
Large dogs can eat and drink better with elevated bowls.
However do note the bowls in the background are for my other dogs even though at the time he did stand on his tiptoes to drink from them :)
Variety, mainly their own dinners when they are young, that way you don't unbalance their diet. When they get older and you are training in a hall then the more smelly and high end treats come out... I do give them small bits of heart as the fat content is low etc. when they are young and just starting to go to halls etc.
Morning and evening. Is twice a day enough. She's 9 weeks old
Great video, thank you
most beautifull dog breed
Ive had 3 rotties and been around many more.. if that dog is 10 weeks old... I have land for sale in the pacific... 12-14 weeks minumum
Then you must have land for sale, (OMG)Winnie was 10 weeks and 3 days old when that video was taken, born on the 6th August 2011 (yes his birthday is in 2 days time), you can check my FaceBook as everything is open to the public and you will see when you scroll back through the years I have posted his birthday up every year.
+Carly Montague you named your male Rottie Winnie? ha-ha.. so how much does he weigh now? I realize not all rotties grow the same, but normally a10 weeks Rottie would weight around 15 -17 pounds.. your dog looks more like 25 or so..
Winnie as in Winnie the Pooh or Winston Churchill.. He's about 46-47 Kg (that's about 102 pounds) now. I do keep the weights of my dogs recorded but I can't seam to find his at the moment..
haha, it's all good, I just thought he looked a little big for 10 weeks, but healty for sure..
Nah, he's was about right for his age... I was very lucky as he grew in good proportion for the first 12 months, then went a little long in his body but the rest of him soon caught up :)
easy to train love it!
this is the best way and the right way,
It's his dinner, he was still on 4 meals a day so two of the meals I would train him with him dinner, which was pro plan robust puppy food :)
Sorry, but they don't have to be on 4 meals a day. My father & uncle breed rottweilers & travel to the rottweiler expo every year in Germany: highly experienced with these types of dogs. They would tell you that 4 meals a day make them lazy & they do not make good guard dogs when you feed them so much. I have a rottie pup myself & I find that he is much more attentive & energetic when I feed him two meals a day. But I do agree that they should be with someone most times @ this age.
Thanks for not docking her tail
GREAT VIDEO LIKE
but in my opinion i dont need tricks but sit stay lay down thos important ones and a rottweiler is obedient by himself
Rottweiler's and other breeds of dogs are not just obedient by them selves, they need training and guidance.... just like people....
they do indeed, especial ones with little dogs.... :D
Thankyou!!!:)
ما شاء الله ❤️
Amen sistah
My wife and I both work full time jobs. I feed her once in the morni
Sorry I missed this, at nine weeks old they should be on 4 meals a day, at that age they should be with someone most of the time !!
hi
I have added a new video to my channel for teaching watch.
Hope you enjoy it.
new ones have been posted :)
are you supposed to cut their tail off?
No... It's like cutting one of your limbs off...
no but rotties have a lot of issues and the tail is an even bigger one so they just take it off
Bullshit, no issues with their tails, they just mutilate them for fashion.
clever cute lil' boy =]
like it. Yes :)
I didn't last too long LOL
it's under my training playlist

हमारे पास भी कुते है
He's definitely not 10 weeks old.. He's really cute though
He definitely was 10 weeks old when the video was taken, his B'Day is the 6th Aug 2011
