Now go ahead again and find a different way to re-word that, and we'll see who is dancing here. Train 7 times a week if you want to. This is getting rediculous. So there is NO DANCING inferred, my opinion is 2 times a week for protection training is a safer schedule for the vast majority of rotts, but since I don't know every rott, have only been in the sport for a few years, it's my opinion, but it's backed up by respected trainers and helpers I know, and more than a few here that I don't know. Congrats with your dog Maddie. I saw the SchH titles on her. Trying to keep this short so you have time for your next protection training tonite. Once again, that was a little funny. Seriously, whatever works for you Laurie.

Skip, it's not about what works for me... It's just a simple statement that Rottweilers CAN handle more than 2 sessions per week... (and I have numerous examples to back it up) It's not about that all Rottweilers MUST train more than 2X per week, or that I train bitework more than 2X per week (although I do when the opportunity arises)... It was simply a response to a statement/opinion made by you that has evolved thruout your posts to take on a meaning that was different from your original statement... I'm done w/ this...
