Why are people scared of rottweilers?

Answer 1

First of all, you must not be afraid of the canine species, after all, they are all man's bestfriend. A lot of people are just frighted of big animals, well guess what, a majority of the animals we humans use as working animals are of a large proportion. Horses, Donkeys, Mules, Camels, Byson, and a number of canines are used to aid in helping us complete our tasks. One of the first canine working breeds were the Rottweilers. Still today, Rottweilers are one of the most loving, caring, and protective dogs in the world. My boyfriend had two Rottweilers and they are the most loving dogs I've ever met. So just remember, just because a canine is a large breed, it does not mean they are evil or mean. The bigger, the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I think some people think rottweilers are aggressive because of news stories of rottweilers and other guarding dog types attacking people, mainly small children. Now, if this has happened to you, I don't know this for certain, and please don't be offended, but I think these dogs may have had bad pasts, where it is scared of little girls, because in it's past a little girl hit it, (an example), or it's owners have not trained it properly. But what people don't realise, is that a Labrador could attack as severely as a rottweiler, and it's not the Rottweiler's fault it is a bred guard dog. Also, breeders have done something to reduce the aggressiveness in a rottweiler.

Answer 3

No.

As with any dog, the Rotweiler can be aggressive, if it's trained to be or mistreated but if properly trained and socialised it will be a valued and trustworthy member of the family.

Answer 4

No. Rottweiler puppies and the breed overall are not aggressive dogs. However, do a lot of research BEFORE getting a rottweiler puppy. These puppies are often very strong willed. Some people will be alarmed and interpret their puppy brattyness as aggression

Answer 5

The poor reputation of Rottweillers is more to do with poor owners than with a problem with the breed. They have become popular as a macho dog, and irresponsible ownership has lead to a number of attacks on humans.

Answer 6

the only reason a dog is aggressive is because you are not treating it right. it does not matter about the breed, at all. it all depends on how you treat it.

Answer 7

because they are trained to do that
