The best time to dock a Rottweiler’s tail is about one week after birth, but as a pet dog today docking is unnecessary and not required.
It was done historically because working Rottweilers’ tails hindered work and fighting. Now, if you choose to dock, do it at one week, when the puppy feels little pain and recovers quickly.
