Take him for long walks
with lots of time for sniffing and exploring, play fetch
with a tennis ball, or sign up for a training
class — these are all great ways to get your pup some exercise and mental stimulation without setting him loose in a free - for - all environment
with other dogs that might not be good playmates for him.
Ollie is good at: meeting people, staying in a crate, going for car rides Ideal home: a fenced yard,
Lots of exercise opportunities Training Needs: socialization
with dogs, leash training,
other: Either a strong owner who can work
with him or
classes.
I did a
lot of reading and attended some
classes when my son brought home his Pit Bull, this is where I learned about the their attitudes and tendencies... about their fear factor, they are tenacious and strong but they are actually less aggresive than some
of the more common breeds that nobody seems to fear, Rotties have a very powerful bite and a record
of people attacks, but no one is banning them... so I would suggest you get your puppy, take him / her to
classes and get him / her socilized early on, let him / her play
with other dogs so they know that there is nothing to be afraid
of... you'll have a wonderful time and you will become so much more wise from the experience.
