Re: 8 week old dog, growling etc

Read the other posts that have been recommended.

And then, remember that this is a DOG, not a human. Quit trying to kiss him on the face! Even if your other dogs like to be hugged and kissed, many rottweilers do not. He has already given you and your partner a message not to do it. The bigger he gets, the harder he will bite.

If you do not want to have vet bills, I would separate him from the other dogs while they are eating. They should not have to protect their food from him. They are going to end up biting him in order to do so.

Read everything you can on puppies here in the archives. You need to put some rules down for this pup and learn how to treat and train a rottweiler.

Good luck with him, and please keep asking questions. You can learn a lot from the experienced people who are here.
