Remember that loving a rottie means setting limits, training, discipline and being a respected leader. Catering to a rottie's every whim, letting them have their way and letting them boss you around is not love, it is neglect.
This is why we say that while a dog may be a much-loved and cherished family member, it is still a dog and must trained and treated like a dog in order for it to become a good citizen and family member.
