Larry, I think we're in agreement... I certainly don't encourage overworking any dog that needs a mental or physical break... Nor do I think working a young dog 5X per week is necessarily good (or necessary)...

My only point (that some people simply can't understand) is that Rottweilers can handle more than 2 sessions per week...
