Rottweiler: Free to a new home.
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.

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".

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
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.
