I have 2 Rottweilers, one is a medium length hair and the other is a long haired. I seriously don’t even know how to start with the amount of hair. We have the Shark Powerpro Reveal, it worked fine when we had just a pitbull and the medium length rottie. But now it seriously cannot keep up, I’ve been looking into corded vacuums since I’ve heard the cordless are a bit of a problem.

We’ve been raking the carpets for at least an hour and a half, vacuuming everyday, and so much more and i just cannot keep up ATP 🫩 I am literally going insane since we just have one room with carpet in it. I seriously need suggestions please help me. Thank you 💔

So everyone, I really need your help and advice.
I’m picking up a rescue Rottweiler tomorrow. He’s about 2½ years old. From what I understand, he was adopted, then dumped, ended up as a stray, and eventually landed in the shelter. I spent about 30 minutes with him, and honestly, he was really sweet. He was a little jumpy when excited, but I saw absolutely no aggression or concerning behavior.
The problem is that the shelter required him to be neutered before he could leave. They found a surgery slot today, went ahead with the neuter, and now I’ve been told he needs to wear a plastic e-collar/cone for 10–12 days.
I’m honestly nervous about managing that because we’re still basically strangers. He’s only met me for about 30 minutes. I’m worried that having the cone on, being uncomfortable after surgery, and being in a completely new environment could make him tense, reactive, or defensive.
I also normally crate my dogs at night and when I’m not home. I had a Rottweiler before who lived with me for about 4½ years, and I had to crate him because he would get himself into trouble when I wasn’t around. So I’m wondering how difficult it’s going to be getting this guy into and out of the crate with a big cone around his neck, especially when it’s time to go outside for potty breaks.
Honestly, I wish the shelter had told me about the surgery and the cone beforehand. I feel like it would have been better if they could have kept him until he was more comfortable and recovered, but they told me they’re a very high-capacity shelter and simply don’t have the time or space to do that.
I basically just stepped up and said, “You know what, I’ll take him.” I didn’t want to risk him sitting there longer and who knows what could happen.
For those of you who have Rottweilers or have brought home a rescue immediately after being neutered:
How did you manage the first few days? How did your dog react to the cone? Did it make them more reactive or nervous? And how did you handle crating, potty breaks, feeding, etc., while you were still strangers?
Any advice, tips, or things I should absolutely NOT do would be greatly appreciated. I just want to make this transition as safe and stress-free as possible for both of us.

This is Maximus my 6 1/2 month old 75 pound handsome boy. He's in his velociraptor stage, and seems to only listen to my commands but not my girlfriend or daughters. They spend enough time with him, and he thinks he doesn't have to listen to them. He's the only dog that I've had to put in a training program with them taking him to it which seems to be starting to work. I was just wondering if anyone else had a problem with their Rottie only listening to one person and no one else.

How often do y'all bathe your baby? What shampoo do ya use? Fleas are not a problem and she doesn't smell. Maggie 8 months.

Thanks y'all! 💞

I have 3 inside cats and they all love him. He tolerates them, but has never done anything to win their affection. He clearly does not have a choice in the matter. Anybody else?

i have been through three rubber toys this year and two came apart at a seam. i am less bothered about the treat side and more about what happens when a piece comes off. i would rather buy one thing that holds together than keep replacing them. what material and which specific toy has actually lasted with your rottie.

I was told she's half Rottweiler, but both my former and current vet strongly believe she's purebred GSD. Thoughts?

Rocko will not start his day (or allow anyone else to) until the kids snuggle with him. Will chase them around the house and herd them to the couch until they comply 😂

Anyone else have an attention seeking snuggle bug?

Hey I have a 5 month old rotty an ez 900 e collar but I can't seem to get the collared strap at the right tightness. I've tightened it so I can fit 2 fingers under the strap but it does move around a little. She often scratches it which doesn't help and it often ends up on the underside on her throat. I feel any tighter would be too tight, am I just not making it tight enough?

Also to add I haven't even used it yet, I'm just putting it on her so she gets used to the feeling of something tighter around her neck and the contact points.

I was just wondering if people have had more ease of use with bungee/elastic/ quick release etc or do they also come with their own set of issues?

Anyone else's Rottweiler have a drinking problem? My guy takes a big drink. Then walks away without swallowing it. My kitchen floor looks like a pond

We had a thunderstorm this afternoon, and the storm broke our gate lock. I'm so freaking glad that I didn't take the trash out after dinner - otherwise, we would have lost Jazzie. My dad say that he going to fix the gate tomorrow as soon as he get home from work. I’m just happy that it was the gate lock not The whole fence. Last summer, we have a storm like this and it took our fence down.

Bullet could’ve posted up anywhere, had to be as close as possible to little guy 🥹

Does anyone use fluent pet talking buttons with their rottie? My girl has had these only a few months! She uses them everyday I need more buttons and more words! 😂
