Rottweiler puppy supplies
Now that your Rottweiler puppy is ready to head to your home, there are a few things in the way of supplies you will need to have on hand. Some for basic Rottweiler puppy care and others to keep this mischievous animal busy.
A lot will depend upon your lifestyle and if you are a person who travels a lot you will need to have a special carrier for your Rottweiler puppy, whether it is for the car or for the plane, it depends on how you like to travel.
The first thing you will need is a crate in which to transport the Rottweiler puppy home from the breeders. It would be best to buy one big enough to house an adult dog so that it can grow into it, or if you buy one for a puppy, you will need a larger one as it grows. One tip on crates, if you are getting a male puppy do not have a wire crate as the male can lift his leg and go to the bathroom through the wire.
Make Special Place For Your Puppy
Every Rottweiler puppy will need a good bed and you should avoid the chewable beds such as wicker beds for your Rottweiler as this will make its day! They will demolish it in no time and take it as an encouragement to chew on the furniture. Use polyurethane beds, which are stronger and easy to clean at the same time.
A Rottweiler puppy is a good eater and should have at least two bowls (one for food and one for water) either of stainless steel or food grade rubber, which is preferably weighted so they cannot turn it over. Plastic bowls should not be used as chemicals in the plastic react to those in dog food and can turn the dog’s nose white.
The Rottweiler puppy will need a collar soon enough and puppies can be held with a slip collar. However, as it grows into adulthood a regular collar with a snap lead should be used to prevent it from slipping off it leash and running free.
The Rottweiler puppy will need training very early in its life and the best way to get it going is by positive reinforcement with dog treats. Be sure you have a good supply of them and be ready to have a very happy puppy around you. To prevent it possibly becoming overweight, while they are young break the treats into two or three pieces, giving him a smaller portion.
There are different types of toys that will keep your puppy happy and busy for a good length of time; and what it most important, off your furniture. The best toys for your Rottweiler puppy would be heavy rubber toys and hard rubber balls. You can also give hard rawhide bones, which can last a long time even with the most aggressive chewing. For playing, a Frisbee, ball, and floating tennis balls are a great addition to exercising. The Rottweiler puppy loves frolicking and it will enjoy each game you introduce.
