Rottweiler Forum:
Showing Aggression to Hubby

Help! My husband and I rescued a female rottie from being destroyed and she is making it very difficult for my husband to come into the house or upstairs (basically wherever I am). She is NOT showing teeth but is growling enough that he is concerned with her biting him. I am open for any kind of suggestions.

Sounds like she has a trust issue,with men.Try having your husband spend time with the dog with out you around,get her favorite treats and have him and her go for a walk and show her she has nothing to fear with him.It might take time,dont give up.

I rescued a female Rottie and have placed it in a home with a couple the Rottie loves the husband and the couple claims the dogs personality changed 10 mins after I left her there. She was getting along at first with their male Rott and adored him now they claim she is terrorizing him and she bit the woman in the face for NO apparent reason the dog was lying at her feet she reached down stroked her once and the second stroke the dog leaped up and bit her in the face. The dog is also growling under her breath when the woman trys to walk through door ways and the dog is staring their male rott down as well as staring the the lady of the house down PLEASE HELP what is WROMG with this dog???? She was wonderful with me for 1.5 mos and then was spayed and there were times during the time I had her that she for no reason leaped up at a girlfriend and bit her in the head. The night I brought her home from being spayed I was stroking her gently and out of the blue she leaped up and bit me in the face!! I attributed this because she was in pain and the anesthia was wearing off maybe?Otherwise, she is totally housetrained, calm and not destructive in the house walks wonderful on a leash takes food from your hands like a baby...so why would she exhibit such dangerous out of character behavior????
