Outdoor Activities For Your Rottweiler

Outdoor activities for your Rottweiler-Every pet owner knows how happy and overwhelmed their dog gets when they catch a leash. Playtime is probably the favorite part of a dog’s day. Dogs are energetic animals by their nature. They are active and love spending time outdoors. Any dog big or small needs a  minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity every day. Otherwise, this may lead to obesity and trauma. Some dogs like Australian Shepherds, beagles even get a seizure if due to lack of minimal physical activity.

So physical activity has a great role in a dog’s life. Dogs have a very fast growth rate. Most of the dogs are fully grown by the age of 12- 18 months. From the days of being puppy dogs tend to move around a lot. By the time they are four weeks old, they start walking. As soon as the puppy is vaccinated the young buddy is ready for the outside world. Are Rottweilers easy to train?

 First, we can train the dog to get adjusted to a leash. Puppies learn quickly, so it is easier to teach them tiny tricks at a smaller age. Once the pup is used to the leash start taking the puppy to small parks for walks. This will slowly get the puppy used to outdoor surroundings and environment. This would be the first outside activity a dog of any breed. Rottweilers are true fun-loving dogs. They would love to run around and be active. They are known for being used as shepherd dogs due to their witty and active nature. After learning how to walk on a leash a Rottweiler can be taught different other physical activities and games.
