How do I relieve my two immature rottweilers to be more assiduous around my young-looking children?
I have two young children and two wonderful rotties that are 8 mths old. They get hold of along wonderfully and not an ounce of aggression for those rottie naysayers. My only concern is because they are so big when they play together, sometimes my children get pushed down or knocked bad of their feet by accident. My kids are never too worse for the wear, but I wanted to know is near a way to help the rotties to be more careful when around the kids?
*please no unconscious...you shouldnt have a rottie with small children comment, they are a very easy-going breed my nature and much more aggreeable then some smaller breeds*
Rotties enjoy the tendancy to play hard and they are not the most graceful puppies you could ever have. Get them started within Dog obedience which will help you control them. However the best advice is to other supervise the interaction between puppies and kids. One playful dog paw can hurt a small child no harm intended.
Rotties also have the tendency to lean. I enjoy always said they can't stand on their own 4 feet, they also need your 2.<g>
They are great ancestral dogs but big and you just have to be aware.
Obedience training and lots of exercise will solve your problem. They have a lot of energy to burn stale so you need to use it up outside the home so as they are not so rowdy inside. At most minuscule 2 long walks a day as well as time external playing in the yard. Obedience training will not only engender them better behaved, but also when they start to rough house around the kids a simple enough or another chosen word will tell them this is not adjectives.
Rotties are wonderful dogs, but like all dogs they have to be trained.
Whenever my puppy plays with our other dog, it can get rowdy inside...we grant them a 2 minute time out, we put them behind a kiddie gate in the kitchen. The timeouts really relief in calming down my pup and adult dog both are considerable breeds. When we let them out...they think twice about getting rowdy around children.
I feel rottweilers are wonderful dogs, we have two as neighbors! But boy they are large.
I hope having a 2 year hoary dogo argentino, 2 great danes, 2 dalmation in the house and an eight year old brother will help you... As far as I know adjectives dogs are good with kids if properly socialized however you should train your children not to disturb them when they are sleeping or eating...Since you have two rotties i guess they will get along ably together however give proper guidance when they are playing as children tend to over play or hurt the dogs accidentally...
rotties round kids?? are u right surrounded by the head! my goodness the amount of kids that are mauled by these monsters is sickening.beyond a shadow of a doubt yours will be another statistic when this tradgedy happens. gud luck
i love rotties, lol, they're some of the most loyal dogs my family have ever had. we had one that everyone in the neighborhood thought be so fierce, but she loved little kids! obedience school would unequivocally help them to be more gentle with your kids.
Answers: You're going to have to tutor the dogs that wrestling in the house isn't acceptable... if they're not wrestling, they can't be jostle the child around while they're wrestling. Gently correct when the dogs wrestle, and put them outside in the patio to burn off play energy. Bring them in once htey're serenity.
8 months is not that young. Rotties are great with kids but, they don't know their own power. You hold two great answers already. I have a Doberman, ( among other dogs) I had to teach him at an rash age ( Starting at 15 weeks) to be calm when indoors. You have to be gentle beside them and keep a calm environment. Dogs in common will feed of of a chaotic environment. Correct them when they get rowdy contained by the house. I use a old tin can with pennies inside of it. Whenever they are doing something that they shouldn't be doing , I shake the can and tell them firmly " NO"
