We just got a new 11 week old Rottweiler. I am not a dog person, and I don't know too much about training. Any tips would help. A specific question I have is: He likes to lick hands, and once and a while rubs his teeth on them. A little love nip I suppose. Should I stop that completely, or should I train him to keep it nice and not bite hard?? Im thinking if he keeps it nice, it will get him used to having hands in his mouth for when we need to pull out the rocks he chews on and brush his teeth. Advice?
With Rottweiler you must start early training and obedience, because they get so big.
Big means: it's easier for them to be out of control if you have not obedience trained.
Be consistent.
Take to local obedience classes, if possible.
I advise no hand licking or nipping - at least discourage it.

Here's a small book that will help a lot!
"What All Good Dogs Should Know", by Volhardt.
You can find on e-Bay or at the online bookstore, etc.
Do everything it says. This is the easy way to learn and have a well behaved, happy dog.
Recommend: Watch episodes of "The Dog Whisperer" if you can. Usually on National Geographic Channel.
