First, please forgive my bluntness as I am extremly tired...BUT...Binaca???? Second...stop treating her as your "only child," and spoiling her because she is not...she is a Rottweiler. When one puts a DOG in a human roll, one will find themselves in a heep of trouble down the road. Should you feel like you may have a bad seed? NO. You have a normal puppy who wants to play. You must supervise your puppy at all times (see, when supervised, she won't have a chance to steel your socks) IF and WHEN you can not supervise her 100%, crate her. When and IF she does get ahold of something that doesn't belong to her, this is your unique time to **train** her with the "drop it" command and "leave it" command. Puppies LOVE to get into things..they love a good game of chase..this is what puppies do at times.

Please find the time to search these forums for valuable information. Also, you may want to consider purchasing some books about this breed. Some off the top of my tired brain would include; The Complete Idiots Guide to Rottweilers (please dont be offended by the title..very good book), Living with a Rottweiler, and The Rottweiler..Centuries of service. Once you have an understanding about puppyhood...life will be so much simplier;) Good luck.
