Anyone experienced with protective breeds (rottweiler,pit bulls)2007-11-25 2:58:17

It is great that you are in classes and are going to continue with more advanced ones.That is the very best thing you can do. Other than that make sure you can control him. As long as you can make him do down on command at any given time you should be fine.

You will have to keep in mind that he should be crated or put into another room when you have guests who are strangers or work men in the house.

I work with Dobermans and they can be like that and I always recommed to my clients that the dog not be exposed to strangers in the home. They are much more protective of the home than they are when out in public.

Socialization is what goes on outside the home. Home is where they live and protect the family.

I wouldnt discourge it. Your teaching him all kinds of things. They pay attention to you just as a child would. Just because he follows you around doesnt mean anything. Its just his way of saying "Mommy I love you and please dont ever leave me and never come back". My year and half old pit is just like that. she follows me even to take a bath (she'll park herself on the floor and wait) Dogs are just loyal to the person they see as the pack leader or their master.

Just continue to love him and he will continue to adore you!
