Rottweiler Aggressive Behaviour! - Page 2

daycare4dogs · #11 (**permalink**) 01-05-2008, 06:09 PM

i know i have to be patient with her and i am very glad of the advice that people have given me. i know that all dogs are individual and i am asking these questions because with past puppies i have never had a problem with biting, growling and them attacking me the way vegas does. i have had a dalmatian, a patterdale terrier and cross breeds before but never a rotty.

i dont offer daycare for dogs at presant, because i am not ready to yet, i need to learn a hell of a lot more before i consider it further. i have the name, so that when i come to put up my website its mine and when i come to open a business in years to come i will already have the name in place.

but if anyone can give me some tips about her behaviour i would be very greatful.

Like has been said, what has been advised will work if you be consistant and give it time. My pup is 12 weeks old today and he still bites and nips when he gets exctied as does at least one of his litter mates! On the other hand the other pup has never ever biten or nipped.

Some dogs will take longer to learn than others, in the wild they would get away with this behaviour until they are upto 16 weeks old before the adults would start putting them in their place.

Rottweilers are no more likely to be aggressive than any other breed.

She is not been aggressive,She is been a puppy!!!
Did you not think to research the breed and talk to other owners before you got her?
You are expecting too much from her too soon!

my dachshund bitch is exactly the same she is about 4 months now and she doesnt listen either i tell her the off command when she bites me and it seems to make her do it even more

My sheltie still grabs at my sleeves etc sometimes I do a very low pitch, firm and quick "No bite" followed by a happy excited "good boy"

Shouting is not a good idea as it raises the pitch of your voice

Thats what my trainner told me and it does make a differnce!

if you get the tone and volume correct then it works, you just have to be consitant and if you are unsure of what you are doing either go (or go back) to training school.

That's very true, I have no trouble getting dogs to do as I say I but my other half can't get the right tone to make them listen to her when they are excited.

My mum goes too high pitch when saying no so archie barks at her, when she really tries to make her pitch lower he looks so shocked with this look that says "oh dear I have really done something wrong! i best go and sit quietly over here for a few minutes"

i think the whole voice pitch thing is true, because i OH has a deep voice and when he tells vegas no she listens to him, i dont obviously and is more high pitched than his, so when i tell her she doesnt listen.

i think i might have to work on my voice pitch!

I am smoker so I have a bit of a husky voice, makes it not that hard to go into a lower pitch!
