I have a 5 year old male Rottweiler and I was wondering why he hates big dogs but allows small dogs?

Question

He doesn't care one bit about small dogs whether male or female but bigs dogs both male and female he hates, he bites them. Why is this and what can I do to make him stop?

Answer

Rottwielers are extremely dominate.He just thinks the bigger dogs are more dominate than him and he doesn't like that.

Answer

Rottweilers really like to be dominate, or in charge. They may feel as if they already have control over little dogs, so they try to become in charge of bigger dogs.

Answer

Maybe he got attacked by a big dog when he was a puppy and rottweilers are very dominate so he thinks they are more dominate then him.

Answer

He likely sees the big dogs as a threat to his alpha status. The little dogs, he gets along with because they don't threaten his ego in any way.

There's no real way to get him to stop.
