:D I think I need the training...lol...This is my first time on this forum..and this is my FIRST Rott...I'm used to Cocker Spaniel's,but lost him.So my son bought the Rott when he was a puppy...I NEVER dreamed I would own a Rott!! They're branded.Mostly..Anyway told my son,if he was going to live here,he would have to be a good dog. So we gave him TONS of loving care and attention...I think I may have over done it. I love him soooo much, I have a hard time disciplining him...He listens more to my son,who has always been firm with him,than to me.He MAKES me take him for walks...really,he does. I play rough with him in the house,and I laugh at him when he acts up. I can't help it,he makes me laugh. He's sooo funny,he trys to tease me by taking my shoes, clothes or whatever. Then he runs away from me while Im trying to get them. And its like a game.
He's so intelligent,it amazes me. But now the problem is that he has kind of gone after two people and a car. When "he was taking me" for our walk
he lunged at a passerby,and grabbed his coat for a minute. I thought he bit him,but didnt. He is very jealous if anyone gets near me...I hug and kiss this dog every day, I really love pets. Ok,if anyones reading this...my real question is this: Is it possible I'm giving him tooo much attention and love? My son thinks I am...He jumped up on me,knocked me down and I broke my foot. He gets so excited when I come home. How can I make him think Im the boss too? Sometimes he gets mad at me and barks and nips me. And I still laugh at him. He is now 1 yr old. Too late? Thanks to anyone's advise.
