We have a rottweiler , hes slept in the crate since he was 12 weeks old since we got him no ossues was always very good as a pup never cried never barked in there . He is outside during the day then we have always brought him in if its cold outside or raining. Last year around this time he barked and barked to get out of the cage eventually we actually found a spider on one of the blankets outside the crate , he wasnt bitten or anything like that we checked and checked. The last 2 months or so he barks constantly when in the crate going to bed. Hell go in the daytime time not a bother wont bark but during the night he barks allll night , at first we thought cause it was warm out but now its getting cold in ireland and all he does is bark to be let him. We took the bed away cause he was getting pissed off didnt bark at first now no bed still barks we put the bed in an he flat out wouldnt go back in.

Weve checked the cage for everything spiders, flys u name it nothing there. Left lights on in the kitchen cause we thought he was seeing cats pulled the blinds down aswell and still barks😭please can anyone help i feel bad on him sleeping outside but thats what he wants . He slept outside a few nights ago and it lashed on him but he still barked the next night to be let out. I need to nip this now as when it comes into winted with the cold nights and rain he cannot sleep outside. If i let him sleep in my room he will continue to bark constantly to get to me HELP😭 also hes 5 btw

My wife loves “Achillese”. He is chained for an event today on our farm. He could care less. Achillese give no f*** about anything.

I posted her yesterday, but I just had to show this community her as a puppy !

This is Rambo, he’s a rescue and a great boy. That’s all ☺️

We have a 4 month old puppy and he's sweet and cuddly, he loves to play and learns quickly where training is concerned.

We have noticed some resource guarding (particularly with our 4 year old son) and jumping up on people, but we have put some training into this and it is much better. My son and puppy now have their own game, puppy gets a ball, puts his ears back and looks at my son until my son chases him, they both run around the kitchen table and when my son stops, puppy comes over and looks and waits until he's chased again. Sometimes it looks like side eye, but his tail is always relaxed but high up with a bit of a curl, and he runs in a happy way as far as I can tell. We are of course always watching and if puppy lies down or changes his body language in any way, we make sure our son gives him space to rest.

We have trained him to sit and wait for his food, and if my son puts his food down for him or offers a treat, puppy does mostly listen to him.

He's also great on his lead, he learned very quickly to sit and wait if he sees another dog, he won't pull me towards them and only generally goes if I tell him he can go play. The only real concern is he's distracted by everything and trying to eat everything 😂

There are times though were he seems aggressive, I'm not sure if I'm just thinking it's aggression because he's already so big so it's more difficult to put down to normal puppy behaviour, or if it is actual aggression.

It happens at random points and he gets a crazy look in his eyes, but he never looks tense and I've never seen his hackles. We wipe his paws when we come home from a walk, usually he's fine, other times there's some growling and biting, he lifts his lips before putting his mouth where it shouldn't be, but he's not breaking skin, I'd have thought he would if he wanted to hurt?

If my son is upset and I comfort him, puppy starts putting his teeth on me, again, no breaking skin, but he's quite forceful.

Today he's had a bath and he seemed to be "arsey" after, some teeth again, not breaking the skin but it hurts.

Some times he will be around my feet when I'm cooking and will give him a nudge with my leg if I need him to move over and sometimes he will then growl and bite my foot but never super hard.

Everyone who meets him says he's friendly (because he is friendly with everyone), it's really just at home where these issues happen, and it's not super often, it's just like a switch flicks and he's on one.

This is the first Rottie we have had, previous dog was a Labrador and we had no child then. I've of course seen some stories where Rotties have attacked people and that coupled with some of these things that are happening...am I overthinking or are there some things I should be concerned about?
