5 Simple Steps to Approaching Bella

We have been getting mixed reactions from the public, be it from fellow dog owners or even strangers we meet / pass. We do our part as responsible owners to keep Bella in her place. 

Center of Attention

1. Ask Permission
Yes ! She is a darn cute Rottweiler and somehow she has maintained her puppy face.
Let us know that you want to touch Bella, so that we are aware and watchful over her... ESPECIALLY if it's your kids coming to play with Bella.

2. Stay Calm, Breathe Easy...

Take a long deep breath... remove your excitement.
She may reflect the same energy, which is what we don't want especially with kids.

Note : PLEASE do not let your kids run or jump around. That's unnecessary excitement. Bella will want to play too, but she doesn't know her own strength. 

Poke test !

Sit also no problem...

3. NO EYE CONTACT !

Plain and simple... Bella doesn't like eye contact, she will think that you are a suspicious stranger and Guard Dog mode takes over.

Told you she is cute... eyes on BELLA !

4. Be Confident, Don't Hesitate...

Bella is used to being around people who are not afraid of her.
When you wanna pet her, please do not hesitate. Wary hands and being scared translate to high suspicion from her.

Hey... Who's that ?

5. Lastly... Belly rubs are much appreciated. 
You can pet the top of her head, heck, hit if it is what you want...
Rub under her chin... rub rub her chest...
Very soon, Bella will roll over on her back and request for a belly rub ! 

That's the SPOT !

Trust that we know Bella well... Just by looking at the position of her ears or how her tail wags, we can predict her next move. We would like to help kill the stigma of Rottweilers as a ferocious killer breed. She has been well trained and tamed, if I can put it that way... 

Bella Beer Buddy... #moumantai
