Strongly bonding with your dog will do wonders. Have your dog fully obedience trained, and let him grow. He is still young. Rotties mature slowly, so it takes about two years to see the desire to protect their pack and territory. Remember though: not all Rottweilers are bred to guard and protect.
In regards to the testing, it can be done as long as is conducted by a true reputable dog trainer with proven knowledge in the subject of protection and guarding. Be aware that if it is done improperly, it can easily ruin your dog.
