So you have decided to help out a poor animal and take on a Rottweiler rescue dog. Good for you! Once you get your new dog settled it he should be fine and there should be years and years of joy and happiness for you and your new dog. It takes a lot to agree to give a home to a Rottweiler rescue dog so you are to be congratulated for taking the time and effort to be humane to an animal that has been treated inhumanely in the past.

It is a shame but the Rottweiler is sometimes exploited for its aggressive nature and trained to be overly aggressive and a danger to people. Unfortunately these Rottweilers cannot be given new homes and are destroyed when it is determined that their behavior cannot be changed. So while it is a tragedy that this happens it is also a relief to you to know that your Rottweiler is not predisposed to being dangerous at all.

As soon as you get your Rottweiler rescue dog home you are going to need good advice on how to train your dog and get it used to your home. Your vet is a great resource for this advice and if there is something your vet feels like that cannot answer for you then they may get you the information for contacting a reputable Rottweiler breeder who can help you with your questions.

Housebreaking is a big issue with rescue dogs and sometimes crating an animal can be considered cruel especially an animal that was just in an abusive situation. If you get a dog that is housebroken then that is one less thing you will have to worry about.

When it comes to any breed housebreaking is always extremely important. If your dog is already housebroken then you are very lucky and can move on to other parts of training your dog. If your dog is not housebroken then you can use the crate method as long as you use lots of positive reinforcement and never leave the dog in its crate when you are home.

A Rottweiler rescue dog has been through a lot and one of the main things they need from a new owner is love and attention. Most times Rottweilers that have been abused are also neglected and when you get a Rottweiler rescue dog you need to let it know right away that things will be different. Be careful though as they are still aggressive dogs and you need to proceed at a slow and easy pace so that they have time to understand what is going on.

Your adoption of a Rottweiler rescue dog is a very humane and wonderful thing to do and you should be ready for many years of love and happiness with your new dog. Always be careful when dealing with your Rottweiler and remember that your dog is on guard until it feels comfortable so just proceed slowly but always with a firm hand.

Always praise the dog for the things it does right and always be positive with your Rottweiler. A Rottweiler can be a wonderful pet if it is just given a fair chance.
