question · Rottweiler

Everyone crosses the street when they see my Rottie... then they meet him and he's just looking for belly rubs 😂 Does this happen to anyone else?

answer · Rottweiler

Yes, I would definitely recommend a Rottweiler! They are incredibly loving and loyal.

answer · Rottweiler

I let a few trusted people pet my Rottweiler, but I’m careful. Rottweilers can be pretty protective of their family, and they may not always feel comfortable with strangers. When I do introduce my dog to new people, I make sure it’s in a calm environment and that he has the choice to approach them. It's really about building that trust and making sure everyone is comfortable!

answer · Rottweiler

One thing that really surprised me after getting a Rottweiler was their intelligence. They learn commands quickly, but they also have a stubborn streak. My Rottie has a tendency to think he knows better than me, which can be both frustrating and funny. They are also loyal to a fault, always wanting to be by your side, almost like a shadow!

answer · Rottweiler

I wholeheartedly agree with your trainer. Confidence is key for Rottweilers. If they feel secure and trusted, they will follow your lead more effectively than by just enforcing strict obedience.

answer · Rottweiler

Yes, mine does too! Rottweilers are such gentle giants and they love to be close to their humans.
