This is our almost 10 week old Rottweiler pup Max. We've possibly rescued him from death as his owners were not looking after him or his other litter mates properly. He was being fed on cheap adult food for working dogs (about £6 for 15kg!!!), had no injections, no toilet training and had worms. I took him for his 1st injection yesterday and his 1st worming, the vet weighed him at 4.3 when he should be nearer 5. But he's well on the menf now and turning into a very active healthy pup!!!!

| everyone we've spoke to who have/had rottweilers can't say enough good things about them!! Their intelligence, obedience and the fact they make an all round good family pet! We was looking for either an Akita or Rottweiler, but when i saw this little guy looking so thin it would of played on my mind forever what would of happened if i'd said no.......... |

Yes I had a rottweiler from when i was young, she died at the start of November last year. She was 11 which apparently is prety good for a rottweiler.
And of course we have an Akita now. She is also very very inteligent. Infact she's a little too smart, but atleast we don't have to get up and let her in out the garden, she just does it herself. Im sure we'll teach her to shut the door behind her at some point.
Infact as i type now, she has just got my sisters bottle of juice off the table, unscrewed the lid and start drinking it  |

haha that is one smart dog!!!!
im sorry to hear about your rottie, thats a very good age for a large dog!! We want to give ours the best care seen as he didnt have the best start in life. toilet training has come really easy for him but he has very bad seperation anxiety which we're trying different techniques to work on.
we also love that pic too! he's such a little softie |

| we just need him to 'man-up' a bit and stop being so dependent on us, even a 10min trip to the supermarket results in door frames/skirting board being chewed and a puddle on the floor! hehehe little monster |

Dog's are like toddlers.. fuss over them they will become bratty and act all spoilt best thing to do when he howls or whatever is to ignore it.
As Shorty said leaving the radio or TV on wont make him feel so alone. Or the washing machine/dishwasher, regular household noises will make him feel like your'e still there.
If you punish him for say destroying things, he wont know what he's being punished for as he did it before you got home and would probably have forgotten he did it!  |

| Have you tried him in a dog crate? You will need to spend a bit of time getting him used to it but it is vital for peace of mind when you go out so you know he isn't going to chew anything that could hurt him. Do you leave any special chews or a stuffed Kong etc to distract and amuse him while you are gone? |

| Our rottweiler was a big chewer apparently. I don't remember all that much because i'd of only been like 6-7 but my mum said she used to chew everything. Leaving the T.V or something on may help as he may relate the TV/Radio being on with your presence at home. |

So adorable!! Leaving the telly on does work but just try it a few times and see because although it worked for my dog he barks if he sees a dog on tv he barks so he is a problem to our neighbours, lol. But as kdlang said kongs are fantastic because it takes their mind away what we used to do was leave him in another room with a kong and then leave without him knowing, because the kong keeps them occupied.

Dunno if this'd agree with his bowells at a young age, but for a bit of extra amusement for him, try putting some peanut butter in the kong for him.
Our lab goes crazy for it, he's 8, still a chewer and still loves peanut butter in his kong! |

Another good thing is cheese spread!! But the squidgy poopy stuff that you can buy for it is also good! But anything soft that your dog enjoys goes well inside it, just try some different things.

| thanks for the suggestions everyone!!! My other dog had a kong when she was younger and she loved it. He is very food orientated, if i leave the room and shut the door he will cry, but if i leave him in a room with his food and shut the door he's fine!!! A kong with peanut butter will be great it'll take him hours to get things out of it. We got the 'stop chew' spray which really worked aswell, allowed me to pop to the shops for 15mins even if he had done a little wee on the floor out of anxiety! We never punish him for something he's done. if he messes on the floor we either but him in the yard or on his training mat, if he nips or chews us we simply say 'no' and ignore him. he will learn theyre very intelligent dogs |

| One of my old foster dogs Bertie loved his Kong stuffed with cooked rice with small pieces of chicken in it. It kept him amused for ages in his crate. Then when he came out, he would take his Kong and keep throwing it down the stairs to get out all the stuff that he had compacted into the bottom. He has got to be the cleverest I have had so far in getting things out of a kong and I had to continually think of ways to make it last longer. |

| thats an itelligent dog!! I know max would get hours of enjoyment out of a kong, its just finding things to put in it that he wont easily get out!! We also need to get him some more chew bones for teething to stop him nibbling at furniture! he's suprisingly very obedient for a young pup, he'll 'leave' things when you tell him to and he'll sit when asked! we're getting him used to walking on his lead just around the house and back yard and he loves it when people come to visit him once he's got over his problems with not being able to be near us he'll be great. in a way its nice he wants to be near us cos its his way of telling us that we're in charge and we are the leaders of the pack and submits to us, but we just cant take him everywhere we go hehehe |
