Expert Answer

The Rottweiler is an excellent guard dog, naturally protective, confident, and alert, with strong loyalty to its family and a natural instinct to watch the home. Proper training channels this into reliable protection.

Early socialization prevents over-aggression, and firm handling is needed. It suits experienced owners who can lead consistently.
