If an adult Rottweiler can not jump in or out of a truck, without injuring itself, there is something , or many things wrong with that dog....

jumping up and down from 10-20 inches should not be any cause for concern....... if it is.. see a vet...

however, in the case of the OP... I would instantly assume that there is a problem, the OP clearly addressed it, the dog is obese..

but please do not lead others to believe that the Rottweiler, by design, is not capable of these small jumps...
