House Training
Consistency beats correction. Most Rottweiler puppies are reliably house trained within 4–8 weeks with the right routine.
Take them out often
Every 1–2 hours, immediately after waking, after every meal and after every play session. Always to the same spot outside — the smell reminds them what to do.
Reward the moment it happens
Praise softly and give a small treat within 2 seconds of them finishing outside. Timing matters more than the size of the reward.
Never punish accidents
Interrupt calmly with a soft 'oops', pick your puppy up and go outside. Punishment teaches them to hide, not to hold. Clean accidents with an enzyme cleaner to remove the scent.
Use the crate wisely
A well-sized crate helps your puppy learn to hold on. Never leave them longer than they can physically manage: roughly age in months + 1 = maximum hours during the day.
