Question on my 5 months dogo pup

[limmade1w]

My dogo 5 months old and i had her for about 1 month already.. At the same time i got rottweiler 4 yrs old at my house.. they 2 get along just well.. both are active..
so my questions are:

1. My dogo always follow my rottweiler like for example my dogo wouldnt want to out without my rottweiler.. and my dogo will only eat when rottweiler eat too.. when my rott stands or come to me, then my dogo will follow too... so my question is does this mean my dogo dont take me as her master?

2. How can i avoid this problem? Pls help

Thanks v much in advance

work on training the dogo without your rottie around.

I agree with Tylero. It sounds like your dogo sees the rotty as the leader. I recomend keeping them seperate for longer periods. A puppy this age needs to be developing coping skills and will do it alot better if he is guided by you. Try doing a lot of hand feeding and training. Take him to dog-friendly places such as sportsmans warehouse and home depot. Remember your poo bag and bring some folded up paper towels in your pocket, that way an accident is not the end of the world. Make your relationship with him his most highly valued. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks Tylero and Joe.. im doing it now.. 1 quick question.. right now i will put my dogo in her "house" often only morning and evening she can go out when im taking her out for a walk.. is that ok? will she depressed?

fyi my rotty is always outside the crate so she will just wandering around the garden.. so im afraid my dogo will be jealous? will she?

Thanks much

[joe]

By "house" do you mean crate?

I don't worry about dog jealousy but I might be concerned that the dogo is not getting enough exercise.

[limmade1w]

yea crate i built specially for her its enough to fit 3 big dogs..

I walk her in the morning for about 45mins-1hr and evening the same duration.. in the afternoon usually i trained her basic obedience.do u think im doing fine?

my dogo right now almost do what i want when i ask to sit and no (when she do thing i dont wanna her do) but when my rotty around she got distracted almost all the times hahaa

I am going to go against the grain here and just say that it is good that your dogo is acting as a subordanate to your Rottie, since it seems as if they are both females, and if you allow the Dogo to stay submissive to the Rot you should have less issues with them once the Dogo matures. If you do separate training, you may have the Dogo feeling like it is higher up than the other dog because of the individual attention. I always tell people that dogs are the best dog trainers. It can make your job easier. Which ever methods you use, we would love to see pictures of you pups.

Also, where did you get the dog from? A kennel pup that has not been around people, will gravitate to dogs quicker, and will take a bit longer to bond with you.

hey lahistoriadogo thanks for the advice... seriously im quite confuse what should i now... i put my dogo with rotty in the afternoon but not at night or on training..

btw heres my dogo photo link




i lived in indonesia, I went to a specialist dogo kennel in bandung part of indonesia.. n i dont think they surrounded by many people...

and as i put her on the garden, can u advice me how to make her stay white without showring her often? Thanks alot

Putting her on concrete or wood will keep her clean wood is probably better. I keep my dogs on concrete. They don't get parasites as bad if you keep them off the ground
