I think he's being over loaded too. I'm planning on going to the club tonight and then not do anything for the rest of the week. Next week I'll bust out the prong collar if I have to. My plan is BH in April SchH1 in July and SchH2 in Nov.

This answers a lot for me right here.... Your dog is 15 months old and you plan on getting SchH2 in the next 8 months... It's not impossible, but your dog is still very young physically and mentally... My guess is he's telling you his a bit 'stressed' and needs to slow down some. I would be happy with a BH in the next 8 months and a lot of strong foundation work for the Schutzhund titles in the following year. Goals of SchH2 before age 2 may end up backfiring on any long term plans of success... I would be concerned w/ the lack of true foundation that the dog will really have.... especially a rottweiler that tends to mature a 'bit' slower than a GSD or Mal... Of course each dog is different.
