Re: First Post - Serious Advice Needed

You haven't mentioned the most important thing in a Rottweiler puppy's life - training. The behaviors you are describing are typical of a dominant young dog trying to establish himself as leader of the pack. And he is including you and your roommate in the pack. That is why you get bitten when you interfere with what the boss (Charlie) wants. This can be corrected with extensive and rigorous obedience training, but you have a lot of established behaviors to overcome.
