| Re: New to dogs.... As many others have already said, owning a Rottweiler involves a LOT of work. They are not black and tan lawn ornaments. They are active, intelligent working dogs that need an occupation. . .not just an occasional game to tire them out. As the owner, it is your responsibility to provide your Rottweiler with exercise: physical and mental.
Get the dog enrolled in obedience classes. Not just one, but ongoing. Talk to the instructor about other activities you could get involved in with the dog. . .herding or tracking or carting or agility. These dogs shine when you give them the chance to use their brains.
