For a Rottweiler to become a good member of your family, it requires significant constant socialization, and therefore this breed is recommended for experienced dog owners. However, despite their size, these intelligent and confident dogs are easy to care for.
They need a serious and strong mentor. They will create a lot of problems for inexperienced owners who do not have the skills to work with service dogs.
They’re clever and will take their time working out a situation before they act. This is why you’ll see some version of “Rottweilers are not for everyone” or “Rottweilers are not for first-time dog owners” on pretty much every informational site and book about Rottweilers.
They’re smart—sometimes smarter than their owners. More than one trainer has noted that they tend to be smarter and learn faster than their owners.
