Steps

1. 1 Do your own research first.
   • Gather as much information as possible about Rottweilers, read books or websites on the Internet, attend dog shows, talk to breeders, etc.As with any other breed, Rottweilers have their own personal qualities, as well as qualities inherent in the breed as a whole. The better you understand them, the easier it will be for you to raise your puppy properly.
2. 2 Choose a breeder carefully.
   • There are many good breeders out there, but just as many bad ones. Take your time, take a closer look, do not rush to the first comer.
   • Choose a breeder who performs all appropriate medical tests on breeding dogs (eg, orthopedic, cardiac, vision, etc.). Always check breeding dogs for both body composition (show performance) and performance (eg scent) as this will ensure that the dog looks and behaves like a Rottweiler. Ask any breeder questions and be ready to answer questions.
3. 3 Take the time to find the right puppy.
   • Rottweiler puppies are irresistible, but you don't have to carry home the first pair of eyes you see. Each puppy is individual with its own character and combination of genes. A good breeder can help you find the perfect puppy for your home / lifestyle / plans.
4. 4 Get ready to raise your puppy.
   • A puppy will take a lot of time, patience, love and money, you need to be ready for this. The first few days can be hectic, but soon everything will return to normal. Here's a list of things you need to know / do ...
   • Provide your puppy with timely vaccinations and deworming. Rottweilers are particularly susceptible to a viral disease called parvovirus, so you need to be extra vigilant during the first weeks.
   • Start teaching cleanliness in the walls of the house right away. Use a cage to prevent 'incidents' at home. One of the most fundamental parts of teaching your puppy to be clean at home is to prevent bad habits from forming. Always take your puppy outside to the same place to do his business. Let him run freely at home only under your constant supervision.
   • Start training immediately. Rottweilers are very smart and eager to please you. Start with a simple nickname and cleanliness habit as soon as you bring your puppy home. Add to this simple commands such as 'sit' and 'seat' once the puppy is used to the new home. Rottweilers don't need harsh methods of training and behavior correction (and they do not work well for them). These dogs are sensitive and quick-witted, and they quickly begin to understand positive reward training methods. As soon as the puppy has received all the necessary vaccinations, sign up with him for a general training course.
   • Socialize your puppy early and do so throughout your dog's life. Rottweilers are guard dogs, therefore, by nature, they are somewhat reserved with strangers, tend to behave with them a little aloof and cold.
5. 5 Love your Rottweiler!
   • Rottweilers can be big dogs, but they love to sit on the lap of their owners and are big kind-hearted. Provide your Rottweiler puppy with lots of love and attention to keep him happy and confident.

Tips

• Do not try to speed up your puppy's growth or make it bigger than nature's own. Being overweight will not make your dog bigger or stronger, but it can lead to serious health problems such as joint damage, heart problems, etc.
• Never encourage your dog to protect you or try to make it less friendly towards guests. Rottweilers are nature guards and very intuitive, trust this dog to protect you when you really need it. Fostering unwarranted aggression will not only harm your dog, but the breed as a whole.
• Never treat a Rottweiler badly and do not show him aggression, otherwise he will become a habit of aggression.
• Always feed your puppy special, premium quality food for large breed puppies.

What do you need

• Cleanliness training cage (metal or plastic, allowing the puppy to stand in it, sit down, turn around and lie down without touching the walls.
• A stain and odor remover like Natures' Miracle for any incident. No matter how careful you are, one or two of these are bound to happen.
• Padded collar with tags and leash.
• Bowls for food and water.
• Various toys: ropes, rubber toys, pressed rawhide bones, sturdy toys that you can chew on. Rottweilers have very powerful jaws, so toys must be durable!
