Don't use the crate then, just an empty room on his own will do. The fact that he cried then calmed down quickly means you've found something he is taking seriously, trust me it works. The worst thing for a pack animal is to be alone away from its 'pack', every instinct in his body tells him to stay with his 'pack' so he will learn to avoid doing anything that will cause him to be separated from them, you know you are physically stronger than Grason but by being mentally stronger will get you further
Fingers crossed he's getting the message.
What techniques do you use to burn a pup's energy seeing as they can't be walked til 12 weeks? Grason has plenty of different toys which I set aside time to play with him, I also use some time to train lead walking and basic commands. But, at times, he seems to have more energy to burn but gets bored easily with his toys. I think this then leads to his little 'outbursts'. Can't wait for week 12 :rolleyes:

I'm lucky in the sense that I have 2 other dogs so Brook could burn off alot of energy playing with them. I feel your pain though, I thought I would never get Brook out for her first walk. Brook loved playing tug of war which I then used as a training tool to teach her to 'leave it' to show her I was in control of the game, then when she released the toy I'd tell her to 'sit' when she did this patiently I'd throw her toy for her, she was having fun and learning at the same time!!! I also put some soft food (wet dog nuts, tin food etc.) into a kong and froze it, it takes them ages to get the food out, mental excerise is as important as physcial so instead of just putting Grason's food in his bowl make him work for it 0 -

Most pet store's sell Kongs I assume? He's still on his dry food as he's only 9 weeks. What would you recommend I put in the Kong for him?
I picked up some chocolate drops for him as a reward while training. He doesn't like them at all but will eat one reluctantly :rolleyes:

he is gorgeous!!!no more problems with the growling?Mine is wired she mad!! she has her own little character which is sooo funny!!I'd be lost with out her shes part of the family , Defo think Rotties are one of the best types of dogs you can get provided their in the right hands!
Grason is at that stage now that he barks if he sees someone out the window in the sitting room. Or if he's out the back garden and hears/sees the neighbours and other dogs barking. 99% of the time he'll stop when he's given a 'SSSSSSSHHHHHH'. Oh and for whatever reason he'll randomly bark when he see another dog. No particular breed or anything that will set him off. He even started barking in the car at a dog that was about 30 feet away with it's back to us. I was told he just getting braver as he matures, like a cranky teenager :rolleyes:
In saying that though, he's had 2 different Labs charge him while I've had him for a walk and he didn't react at all. He was on the lead and both times each Lab was off lead. The only things I need to work on are his recall from a distance and responding to instructions from a distance.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone that has a similar sized/temperament dog to let him play with. I stopped bringing him to the dog park when I felt his size would be an issue for some. Long gone is the puppy cuteness and now it's replaced with others crossing the road when they see him coming

I totally know where your coming from at first with mine it was all awwwww shes so cute and now she getting that bit bigger it's start to get ahhh rottweiler! which i think is hilarious because she'd lick you to death before she's even bark!!I'm lucky enough that my mother that a yr old samoyed who she tears round with and they both hang out of each other,I am also in the process of training her with the recall,What I have been doing is bring a tiny container with ham in it with me when i go walking with her,when she is off the lead everytime i call her and she cums back she gets a bit. i practise this constantly with her even if she is only a few feet away and it is really working so I am trying to only give her the ham every second time she comes back and i'll start reducing it less and less until i don't need it anymore,You have to use food they really love otherwise it won't work,Plus people can get very frightened when a rottweiler is loose especially when they won't come back to their owner!Best of luck with it0 -
