This is when you have to take charge and be prepared to give corrections and teach/train your dog what is and what is not acceptable---it's part of responsible Rottweiler ownership--you must have the mental toughness to stick with it and never give up.
If you haven't already, get some training on the proper use of a prong collar----properly used, they are a great training aid.
Some people do not have this mental toughness and determination and the dog can suffer--you must be fair and firm and consistent in her training and don't let her get away with ANYTHING that is not proper behavior.
You have a Rottweiler, now all you have to do is train her.

Very well said!
This is not a Golden Retriever in a black and tan suit...you have a Rottweiler and you are just starting the teenage stage.
Your dog may get worked up when there are excited dogs, or barking dogs...may even think that little dogs are prey. These are all things you are going to be training to get through.
Your dog may one day decide she does not like other females dogs (very common in this breed)...and you will have to train for her to ignore.
Around 12-18 months things can be hard...they tend to test you and to forget every obedience command that they ever learned.
You just have to get through it with them.
