General Rottweiler Obedience Tips
Training must be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and your Rottweiler. If you’re not in the best mood for training, do not even begin. Always reward your Rottweiler for listening to your orders expediently! A treat is anything that your Rottweiler wants and is willing to earn. Food is the usual prize but other treats could be verbal praise and toys. Many shorter training sessions are typically more effective than 1 long one. Training must not contain any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training opportunity needs to be enjoyed and positive with praise for jobs well done.

Yanking the lead is one of the few negative experiences of bringing up a new Rottweiler puppy. Using a head collar for Rottweiler training has become standard throughout the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the traditional training collar. Though it’s very easy to utilize, it’s imperative that head collars are fitted correctly and your Rottweiler properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are usually more simple to use than an usual training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when guiding Rottweilers in difficult situations.
