Rottweiler Express

Aren't they cute?

We are trying to see how they behave themselves while sleeping around the house during the night. For the longest time we allowed them to sleep in our room, but doing some research lately we found out that it is not a good thing to allow them in your room as they will think that this is their space. By giving them boundaries it will help to show them that you are the alpha. So, sadly they are not allowed in our room.
We started by seeing how Cody would do having the living room and kitchen to sleep in. He has done very well. Then a few nights later we tried to add Sheba to the mix. That did not do so well. I think she was excited to be out that she forgot that she needed to settle down or we would put her back in the kennel. Well, we helped remind her so she spent that night in the kennel. Last night we tried again and she was super!
I would like to try the puppies next, but I am very skeptical as they have little self-control at times. I am sure we will give it a try at some point. We will probably have to walk them to wear them out before we go to bed since they are usually out after a good walk.
I would also love to have all four dogs out at the same time overnight but when all four are out together they play and that would not be good to have four full-sized rottweilers playing loose in the house.
I am excited to see how Cody and Sheba do today while we are gone. Besides it makes a great security system - 4 rotties and a pit! Oh, yeah!
