We've had him neutered, but he's quite a pain. He's chewed up several remote controls, ripped things up, barks quite loudly and has scratched up doors. My mother has almost worn out our rug cleaning machine cleaning up his messes. I've spoken to my brother about it and he says the reason the dog isn't behaving properly is that everyone in the house isn't training him the right way. And that he does listen to him, but not us. Actually, he doesn't do that either, and again my brother says that the reason is that WE aren't training him the right way. Is this really true, or is it somewhat of a whitewash on his part? Do you think everyone in the house is responsible to train the dog, or does the responsibility lie with the owner? So, he's saying that in order for him to be properly trained, everyone must train him the right way. This does seem somewhat unfair as we didn't ask for the dog and now have the burden of training him. Usually when the dog is trained by one person is that enough. Seems by his logic, everyone who meets the dog will have to spend days or weeks, just so the dog won't jump on him and bite them. My mother is thinking of sending him away to a training camp, where he will board for 3 weeks and be trained. We've had two other dogs, Our black Labrador Dalmation mix of 13 died in January of 2009. We also have a Siberian Husky female, that's about 3 years old (she was around when the lab was alive) I don't recall really ever having to train them. The Rotweiller did spend a few nights total in a dog training class when we first got him at 8 weeks. My mom wants to send him back to school, but if what my brother says is true since everyone will have to train him right and the right way, that this won't be enough.
