I agree, generally speaking rottweilers are 'different' when it comes to the sport, but to make training decisions for a dog based on it's breed is not wise. Train the dog for what the dog is showing you it can handle and be smart about it and I think you'll have a much more successful training program. This is part of the finessing I mentioned earlier...

I'll also disagree that 2x per week is not necessarily "more than enough" bitework for a rottweiler. It can and will vary for each dog...

Welcome back... haven't seen you in awhile... Hope you've been well.
