So you magically know everyones schedule and that " their plates are full."

So, just give up and put him down don't try to help him.
The OP has done NOTHING with this dog and you STILL think that she should keep him and do something with him--- THAT IS POOR ADVISE. Even if the OP does this it is going to take a huge amount of work and commitment and the OP has not shown an inclination to do either--That puts people at risk.

It isn't about taking the "easy" way out--it is about admitting the OP doesn't have a clue and this dog needs another owner if he is to survive and enjoy life.
My view is this dog, no matter what, needs a different owner---PERIOD.

The OP should not own a Rottweiler or any dog.

I don't know how to make my point any clearer---I said an experienced person that is familiar with our breed and can evaluate the dog and make an informed decision as to what to do with him.
He MAY be one of those that has to be put down but who really knows at this point.
Again, telling the OP to keep him IS NOT a good idea.
I would suggest getting this dog out of the OP hands and into PROPER hands ASAP>
I'm done with this one.

Good Luck to all.
