 I raised my dog on a bottle from day 1, mom's milk did not come down, another issue I would like some help on.  Anyway neeless to say I am very attaced to this 3 year old.  I feel I have not been a good owner, I have done nothing to train him & very little discpline work. He is very aggressive with other dogs, will not allow me to pet my females.  They stay back out of the way when ever he & I are near. I really believe it is a jealousy-dominace thing with him.  If I touch one of them or they get to close he will jump on them. This has went on for a couple of years. At times I have gotten pretty rough with him to let go of my girls.
 This last Saturday my girl friend went to the door to let some friends in the house.  She had her 1 year old great nephew between her legs helping him to walk so they could answer the door together. She open the door & my dog ran in the house & attacked the little guy. I was standing a few feet away & grabbed him & drug him outside. 
 There is no excuse for bitting a child which is going be fine, thank God.  My question is this, has anyone out had this problem & got their dog trained where they could trust him again. I have been in touch with a trainer & he says if he has bitten once he will do it again.  I am not worried about adults, just small children. About the only little one he will see is the 1 year old he has bitten. I know now to watch him closer around strangers & friends.
 Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you for reading this.

"There is no excuse for bitting a child ".....you said it. If they don't bring charges, you're lucky. If the kid didn't need to go to the ER, you're lucky. ER personnel don't have a choice, they have to report dog bites. And now you know. Keep that dog away from any kids until you figure out what to do. And don't sell him. If he bites again, it's on you! Keep him muzzled. A real muzzle, not one of those Pet-smart velcro things. And on a strong leash, with a pinch if needed. Rotties are big strong dogs. He could kill a child. You were incredibly lucky. Do what's right. You cannot allow him to bite again. I feel for you, but you have a real hazard on your hands! Good luck! jackie harris

You need to find a "working" Rottweiler breeder in your area fast.  A 3 year old male is only going to get worse.

  Ugh.

Good post jackie, I agree.

That dog is running the show since he was a pup. Doesnt matter if you raised him with the bottle. His brain is wired now to run the show....meaning he doesnt know any different. You are not strong enough for him, even if he will be trained by someone. He will blow you off and show you the finger because he learnt his way with you. You will not be able to change that. If you try, the day will come when he turns on you. Some things just cannot be fixed in a Rottweiler. Either rehome him with an experienced Rottie person or have him put down. You screwed up big time. Sorry for being blant.

I'm with Phil and Elkoor.

Any dog in my house that attacked an infant would be gone, instantly. No question. Maybe some people can live with managing a dog like that, but I'm not one of them.

NO:  I do not feel you can "TRAIN" this out of him.  He is definitely a liability.
