The inherent personality that is a Rhodesian Ridgeback is there at birth, as is the unique ridge. It is up to you to train the puppy to live in your world. They will adapt very well b/c they trust you. We let them go to their new home at eight weeks of age and until then, we let them be puppies– playing with their siblings & playing with us in a big indoor/outdoor protected environment. We don’t have to discipline them much, as their mother does that. They live in a very happy puppy world. This social interaction is extremely important for a Rhodesian Ridgeback’s emotional, mental & physical development. When you get your puppy (by then they prefer to go to the bathroom in the grass) and begin training – he/she will trust you explicitly. To train – be consistent, but not overly harsh—they have a very sensitive personality. As they understand your world, if you will praise their good behavior, the love will flow between you and your puppy creating an unbreakable bond for life. This we know.
