| I am so anxious reading about this situation - I want to rush over there and take the little guy.... my heart is sad:( - I have seen so much psychological destruction to dogs because of how they are treated during thier formative years.... remember this... you have a "window" in any dogs life - that window is between the age of 7 weeks to 4 months to begin to formualate it into a well adjusted dog... often times if you miss that window - you have a lot of work to do to try and correct any mental scars - sometimes those mental scars cannot be corrected....
I am glad Metal that you have taken this opportunity to seek advice from this forum, that shows that you are anxious too about this and obviously a little "green" to say the least about how to raise a well adjusted rottie... but please take all the advice on board - everything on here is 100% acurate - because we have all experienced something one way or another with our own pups... ;) Good luck
