Maya's Dad - is she is your first rottweiler? I ask this because it sounds like she was being a bit bratty because you tried to calm her down and she threw a bit of a 'fit' or 'tantrum' - at least humanizing it so we can describe it via the internet. It can be frightening if you've never shared your world with a young pre-teen rottweiler showing a bit of themselves when their owner issues a correction of sorts. It sounds like she was asserting herself and that can be easily rearranged with fair and consistent leadership from you. I'd continue with formal training classes until she is 3 or 4 years old, so you BOTH get the benefit of a qualified trainer. I would also up the exercise - mental and physical. She needs more than she's getting - at least based on what you've shared here. And trust me - she sounds VERY NORMAL when compared to the rottweilers I live with
She just needs guidance and exercise from you - in a fair and honest manner.
