Rottweiler Temperament

 Rottweiler Temperament with Children and Pets. 

Rottweilers like children, especially if they're raised with them. When around children, especially young ones, they should be supervised because they are big and strong. 

They have a tendency to lean and push and can accidentally topple a toddler with a nudge, that's because of their cattle-driving heritage.

They are probably best suited to homes with older children who understand how to interact with dogs. 

It is important to supervise your dog any time your children have friends over. Rottweilers can be perturbed by loud or rough play between kids and may take steps to put a stop to it, not understanding that "his" children aren't in danger.

Always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party.
Teach your child not to approach dogs while he's sleeping or eating or to try to take the dog's food away. When Rottweilers are raised with other dogs and cats, they generally get along well with them. They may have issues with strange dogs or adult dogs that are introduced into the home, being intolerant of same-sex dogs but with training and guidance, they should accept new animals peaceably.
