Get Your Rottweiler To Listen To You
Before you begin any training, you must first establish yourself as the "ALPHA dog" of your family. Your Rottweiler must know that you’re the leader of the pack and it is YOU who is in charge.
Here is a list of simple DO”s and DONT”s that you must follow if you want to be the Alpha:
Once you successfully established yourself as the Alpha, training your Rottweiler and making him listen will be a lot easier than you can imagine. Remember, if your Rottweiler does not learn to "listen", all your training efforts will be in vain!
Does your Rottweiler know his name? Does your Rottweiler look at you whenever you call him by his name? This is the first and the most critical step involved in Rottweiler Training. If your Rottweiler doesn”t respond to his name, you cannot have his attention for teaching him any other commands.
To make sure that your Rottweiler recognizes his name, take a treat in your hand and hold it away from your body. Call your Rottweiler”s name. He is most likely to look at the treat in your hand. Continue calling his name untill he turns and looks at your eyes. Give him the treat immediately. Repeat this exercise by holding the treat in the other hand. Once you”re sure that your Rottweiler has learnt to recognize his name, just call his name and reward him for looking at you by petting or with a hug.
You must understand that Rottweilers respond far better to positive reinforcement than they do to coercion or force.
