| Re: Leaning and sitting on feet?
As I stated before, and this is my last post concerning the subject, my dogs are neither ill mannered, dominant, agressive and no closer to killing my children than our pet gerbil. A Rottweiler's natural instinct is to herd. She does not "sit" on my children until they turn blue in the face nor does she ever nip or bite them. She listens to any commands they give her as well. The fact that she feels protective over our whole family is not a bad trait. When anyone new comes around she lets me decide if they are "safe" and then she has no problem happily greeting them. If she was dominant she would bite anyone coming through our front door. Continue to feel anyway you want, but if you want to educate people about the breed, try not to come across as an over bearing, know it all. Maybe then more people would heed your advice. |
