Expert Answer
The Rottweiler ranks ninth in canine intelligence, roughly equivalent to a human child of 5 to 6 years old, making it a very smart dog. Beyond intelligence, Rottweilers are extremely loyal, obedient, and eager to learn, so they are relatively easy to train.
Because they are highly alert with strong territorial instincts and good reflexes and fighting ability, they are well suited to being trained as guard dogs, police dogs, military dogs, and even detection dogs.
