I have an rootweiler of 10 months his growth is very slow and she is scared also. Please help me ..?

If you are feeding a good quality dog food and the puppy is not infested with worms, there is NO HELP for a slow growing, or smaller than NORMAL puppy. Your dog is programmed by its genetics, as to how big it gets, when there are no other factors to alter, that outcome.

Fearful puppies occur for two reasons: one or two, poorly temperamented parents that are also fearful and passed a bad or fearful temperament onward, OR a LACK of socialization, on YOUR part after a "normal" puppy came home with you. "How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With" by Rutherford & Neil talks about how to socialize your puppy and about fear periods and how to deal with them.

I guess you did not BOTHER to read up on how to raise a puppy properly, nor did it EVER occur to you, to change anything, until now. Puppies are BEST socialized, when you first get them thru 4-6 months of age.

Getting her OUT of your house & yard for walks & play, and taking her to an obedience class, can help build "some" confidence and may "modify" her fears, but you may have RUINED your animal, by not being a more caring & responsible owner all these months after getting it, by giving it enough socialization. That is, "IF" it was a normal (confident) puppy to begin with.

Confused ... you say 'his' and 'she' and of course it is Rottweiler.

First of all DON'T worry about slow growth as that is exactly what you want and need for health. Quick growth brings far too many joint problems.

Being scared is another matter and that is down to you and your socialising of this pup from when you got him / her. Of course the first thing underneath is genetics and you could have got a pup from a lousy breeder who did not put the right socialising skills in place in the 0 to 8 weeks which is a very important time and why people should only ever go to good breeders who understand this.

Just telling us that the dog is 'scared' doesn't tell us about when and under what situations. If the dog is scared of you then you really have fecked up as no dog should be scared of its owner and this probably means you have been harsh in your treatment instead of firm but fair which is essential for a balanced Rottweiler.

At around 7 - 8 months most medium to large breed dogs will have their frame, but it may well take as long again to be fully bodied up as we call it. Provided you feed her a good quality food, so she achieves her full potention according to her genes, you can't do anything other than wait.

As for being scared, go easy with her. Get her out and about of course, but don't push her into situation she's not yet ready to deal with. Again a lot of this, temperament, is in her breeding. I hate to think of a scared Rottie so again, go easy on her or she could go to fear-biting. I think you need to find a good training class, as much to help you with her, as her to gain confidence in a controlled environment Unfortunately if her parents were that way, she may well be too.

No such breed as a "rootweiler". Poorly bred "rootweilers" are often genetically deficient resulting in nerve bag temperament.

He should grow slowly, you don't want him to grow fast, at two years he should have reached full growth, then it will take another year to fill out.

Seek the advice of a professional trainer/behaviorist, which you vet should be able to recommend.

What is his/her weight?

And what is he/she scared of?

Scared of you, or scared of other people or noises or what?

How long have you owned the dog and what socialisation did it have as a pup?

More info would enable your question to be answered with a positive answer.

It "may" just be a very badly bred puppy but without more info its impossible to say for sure.

Rootweiler? LOL! Get your backyard breeder mutt to a vet. if this was a real Rottweiller they grow quite fast and quite large.

It's still a pup fer gods sake give it the chance to grow learn and come out of its shell by the way wtf is a ROOtweiler when it's at home Also
