| Re: Fear Aggression??? Or Authority Issues??? If you are going to keep this girl...then you need to implement the Nothing in Life Is Free Program ...do a search to see the details...basically BEFORE you do anything for her, have her do something for you first to establish your leadership . That needs to be done 24/7.
She should be crated, as others have said, anytime you are not able to to directly supervise her.
You should enroll in obedience classes and not miss any.....it's not an option with Rottweilers, as well as daily training sessions. You need to spend a lot of one on one time with this girl to get her trust and respect..all done with positive, motivational training and treats work great.
She's new to your home and you should be aware of what is called the honeymoon period...where after two to three months, there could be challenge on her part towards you if you are not vigilant and do not do the necessary proper training.
As Moondog said, dogs do live in the moment.....so she must always see you as a clear, consistent, firm but fair leader.
