I am getting my new Rottweiler puppy January 20 and she will be 8 weeks I understand starting with crate and potty training are top of the training list but I consider those 2 things a "duh!" in where to start along with socialization. very important with all breeds but especially a Rottie.
There is so much information and I'm appreciative of the bang for my buck, but also overwhelmed. I realize all puppies are different but shouldn't the obedience be mastered before "tricks"? but then "look at me" is maybe the FIRST thing that should be taught?? I am excited about learning and teaching my new puppy. I don't want to screw this up. It would be helpful for the way may brain works to have a step-by-step basic outline of the basic essentials of obedience with brain training notables to accelerate the particulars. I find myself jumping back and forth from puppy to brain back to obedience to the forums and by then I've forgotten where I am at and what I was reading about to start. Help!! Thanks in advance.
