A family member has a 2 year old Rotty called Buster which needs to go to a new home.

He's very boisterous and requires training, he is not very good with children (another reason why he needs to go), also they have not got the time exercise him. It's not fair to leave him where he is and needs someone to give him the time and patience that he deserves.

Quick pic of him.



He has been on the RSPCA site and other Dog homes sites for a while but no one seems to want him.

Please can you pass this on if you know anyone who would want him.

Thanks

Matt.

is 2 not a little old to try and train a "boisterous" (ie, fucking wild) rotty?

Why do people have dogs if they can't look after them??!!

kebab?

rapid3door

ah id of had him but got 3 only just took another one on and got pups on the way im still tempted tho cant fault mine one bit loyalist dogs ive ever had

CaftDunt

Dunno, I'm no expert when it comes to dogs.

I was just asked to ask about and see if someone who had more time and experience with that breed would want him.

And I agree they should have never got the dog, but they did as their dad "knew best".

rapid3door

nah 2s not to late to train him one of mine was a yard gaurd dog when i got him and used to attack everyone but hes loverly now still a good gaurd dog but hes the bollox theyre so easy to train ive trained all mine ask greg one of the admins hes met em all

CaftDunt

How do you train them then, something I've never got my head around? He understand commands like sit etc etc, but then straight after he growls and goes a bit loopy. It's almost like he's at the top of the pecking order.

rapid3door

lol theyre funny old dogs you cant let them think they are the boss for one second cus trust me they take advantage of sometimes its good for them to be put with other dogs as they tent to look up to each other but always best to walk them when intreducing them for the 1st time

Will ask my sister, she lost her rotty today very sudden, think due to tumor or the dreded 'C' may be to soon for her as see is gutted.

She also may not due to having 13yrs son.

CaftDunt

Sorry for the loss if she is interested then just drop us a pm.

He needs showing he isnt at the top of the pecking order.

Making them sit still for a few mins waiting for their food for example, helps to encourage them to realise they need to be submissive.

Some people do it by beating them as well, but TBH thats counter productive in the long run generally, you want your dog to trust and respect you, not fear you.

Neil@FastFord

Still do that with mine. It's not tricky to get a reasonable amount of good behaviour from a dog.

Sorry but, what sort of clueless fucker goes and buys a Rottie "cause they know best" and then raises an unruly dog and then expects someone else to sort it.

Piss poor and actually very sad!

That dog should have been socialised with people and dogs from being a puppy.

I know it doesn't help house the dog, but it pisses me off that people take on things like this and then bail out!

Owning one is a commitment and a responisbility

He's a handsome looking fella. hopefully someone who has the time, will take him on, train him, and treat him rite.

My cousin breeds rotties, and there actually very rewarding dogs when there treated properly.

Me and the missus got "jazz" our bulldog a year ago from the dog home when she was 2 years old. She was pretty wild when we got her and really dindnt like people she didnt know or other dogs! but after a lot of hard work and training she is a brilliant dog and a big softie! heres a couple pics....

I hardly think the reasons given were a "novelty" and im sure the owner didnt come to this decision lightly.
If children are involved and the as the dog grows shows to be boisterous then that in its self is a reason to re-home the dog, maybe to a home where children arent involved.

AND before you critise what ive said, ive had Rotties for the last 20 years and know that that they can be as loyal as the day is long but also that they need the time,space,money,companionship,exercise and patience so they are happy to make you happy.

PS:good luck with the re-homing.

STAFFY OWNER

2 lovely looking dogs there. If i wasn't a total Stafford convert then i think the next breed i would have would be a Rotty. Like the Stafford they often get a much undeserved bad press.
It's never too late to train a dog. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks had obviously never had a dog.

Benni

He's still a baby!! My friend has a Rotweiler the same age, and he's a big dope. They have a mungrel that bullies it, and it's about knee height.

Benni.

Minirotty

Did he get rehomed?

CaftDunt

In the process.

Just waiting for Rob to finish his shifts offshore then we'll be sorting out the arrangements for moving Buster.

Matt.

Dangerous Malcolm..

Fingers crossed it works out ok!! Top man Rob!

jerri

great news! good on him.

CaftDunt

Update:

After an early start today and a long drive to Scotland, we met up with Rob and handed Buster over.

I'm sure he'll have a good life up there

baba

Done a good thing there rob.
Keep us updated on how he gets on.
Training should be easily achieved with persistance and knowledge but itl make it much easier now in a new home and owner.
A close pal got a 5 year old very head strong male 3 years ago and from day one i had him about 3-4 weeks all day with me at work and when he realised he wasnt getting away with the shit he did before was great.Give him alot of attention obviously.

so true, my exs mum always fed the dogs first so they stayed quiet while she ate

ours eats last, walks in and out last etc, then they learn they arnt incharge. its how the brain works - especially with animals, you have to know who is incharge of who.

Glad he got a new home, I had to give away my jack russel about 3 years ago because I was moving house and starting a new job with longer hours, gutted isn't the word.
