| Hopefully some of the experts will give you advice, but I suggest you keep him on a leash at all times in the house and give him a SERIOUS leash correction and a "NO!" when he does this. You are most certainly expecting too much of him if you're not correcting this behaviour - how is he supposed to know that it's unacceptable if you don't show him that it is?
He's not allowed to be territorial with people you've invited in, it's not HIS territory, it's yours - he's not allowed to decide who's allowed in YOUR house. You need to change your thinking here, he's not protecting you, he's being bossy and dominant, he thinks he's more important than people, including you, and this is not a happy place for ANY dog to be, let alone a Rottweiler. It's YOUR decision, not his, and he has to accept people you allow into your house. You must get a handle on this, or it can lead to other problems. Kai thinks it's his decision, you need to show him in no uncertain terms that it's not. Charging and barking at people in your own home are not acceptable behaviours! I'm not surprised your dad's "not helping much", he shouldn't have to put up with this, and this is your problem to deal with! I'd also put him on NILIF, it sounds as if he's been allowed to get a bit more full of himself than is wise.  |
