| Re: New Rott - Timid...is this ok?
That this "trainer" is promoting such a young dog as protection trained makes me question the methods he was using to train this dog....I'm wondering if he subjected this pup to severe treatment. It really sounds as if she's expecting people to hurt her. My boy behaved the same way as your pup when I adopted him...he's now my "alpha" male and is a great dog. I'd give her some time. And you're absolutely right...they DO respond best to positive reinforcement. |
