Default Training puppies - Female Shepherd / Male Rottweiler

Male Rottweiler :
Playful
Taught him how to go up / down stairs.
Isn't very affectionate, would rather teeth on my hand rather then
lick/kiss me.
Growls when someone touches him while he is eating. Personally he
will growl at me during this time but stops and doesnt try to bite
me.


That could be nothing more than the typical Rottie "grumble," and is
probably nothing to fear. Rotties are very vocal dogs, even as pups.

Where did you get these puppies? From a breeder?

Why did you get *two* puppies?

Overall, I could use any tips or advice you'd like to share,
especially with these type of gender/bread dogs.


You should enroll yourself and your puppies, ASAP, in a good puppy
obedience class.

There you will learn the things you will need to know, and have an
opportunity to better Socialize your puppies, which will both REQUIRE
quite a bit of proper Socialization.

Do you understand what I mean by proper Socialization?

They are currently on pee pads now, due to being pups and not being
able to control there bladder for another 1-2 months. Anyone have any
ways or advice on starting to teach them to go outside?


Yes, throw the pee pads away today, and begin taking your puppies
*outside* as often as possible to "go", even hourly. And don't let
them make any mistakes inside the house. No, not even one.

Your constant VIGILANCE is required.

That's it in a nutshell, but there are some very good books out there
to help you housetrain, train, etc. your puppies.

Here's some that might help, too.
