As everyone else has said she's only 8 weeks old she's still a baby. Just be firm with her and show her who's boss. Our Boxer still tries to nip me now (she's 9 months) when she's playing sometimes but if i say no she stops straight away.

I'm afraid you are believing the 'breed hype' and are frightened of your own pup. Yes you do need to be firm with a Rottie pup, you also need to be fair and consistant - but above all remember - she's just a puppy like any other puppy. She may be a pushy little madam - she might be like that her whole life - but you need to set boundaries for her to live by and praise her good behaviour and ignore her bad. Please google NILIF - this is Nothing In Life Is Free- and its the sort of training that a lot of Rotties respond to. As soon as her injections have been done get yourself booked into a puppy class - this will do the both of you a world of good.
I've gotta go out now but I'll be on later on

What I'm wondering is if you believe the sterotype of Rotties why did you get one!?!?!

maybe she doesnt alan but still worries cos of the size he or she will be? i worry about cassie not cos of her breed but how big she will be when she finishes growing! i just wanna be in control lol

Its brilliant that there are sites like this where people can ask for advice Claire - if you dont ask you dont get to know owt - we all have to learn from somewhere
I'm sure daycare4dogs asked for help cos she wants to get it right - we hear so much about people with Rotts who dont give a monkeys and I'm sure she's just a responsible owner who wants to make a good job of raising her puppy.
Daycare4dogs where did your puppy come from?? Was it a reputable breeder - I'm only asking cos if it was then I'm sure they'd really like to help you raise a grounded, happy, bubba.
