i think i must have pulled out the long straw when it came to rottys then in fairness! my dog chico was just shy of 4 ft tall when standin on all fours and that was at 2 year old! but he seemed to be pretty tame in nature, altho he didn't like other dogs within his territory he would never go out of his way to entertain them. iv had a jack russell that was worse than him! he did have a halti but he never really ever stepped out of line when out on a walk. unless he saw a kid in hood ( he likes to see faces) but he never ran off and if he pulled so long as i pulled him hard back he knew who was boss. and i'm only 5'5" :lol:

How old was the dog when you got him, and when did you start training?
I take it that he will follow basic commands of sit, stay, wait and leave. If so, when he starts to pull just use the command sit to make hime stop. Then pull in the lead so it is taught, keeping him tight in against your leg and walk on. If he behaves let out the lead. When he starts to take the mick, make him sit and start again. Will take a while and get really boring, just remember to praise him when he is good.

Haltie's and gentle leaders will work for some dogs but not all.
The easiest way and long term the most effective way is quite simply whenever the lead starts to go tight, turn round and walk the other way (You may want to squirt him full in the face with water at the same time as the lead starts to go tight (presision timing is required and if in doubt don't bother)).
Anyone who walks him will need to do this every time he starts pulling and soon he will stop.
You may also want to try with the dog on your left, hold lead in right hand and stick some sausage or cheese in front of his nose as you walk, watch fingers and remember to give him some occasionally (not too much as Rotweilers can be prone to getting fat). You will then find his nose will follow your hand as you walk. This may take several weeks.
Also - Ban him from the sofa unless you invite him up, don't let him sit on your lap (sounds stupid with a dog that size but it is done).
Make sure he knows who is the boss.
As for the TV programs, you need to consult a professional yourself if your dog has got to that sort of stage. Remeber what they show in 30 minutes takes weeks to achieve and are only some of the highlights of what actually happens).
Remember lots of praise and fuss.
Shouting at a dog all the time will have no effect, it will become the norm.
