maybe you should think about the cut on your leg and really do some resurch on how some of the rottweilers started by that club turned out. i think you may be shocked . so believe what you want everyones dog is a sch3 in there own back yard and i personally think that a 15 month old rott with a spanking new handler in clubs that dont have td's with tons of experiance isnt actually doing as well as you let on. the bottom line is for what ever reason YOUR DOG TOTALLY SHUT DOWN i have seen some phases of the training be effected by poor desicions in other phases but i have never seen a dog that was capable of doing the work totally shut down. as rotts and scotts said you must build a strong foundation to keep the training together. to me when your dog shut down it tells me you have done a poor job on the foundation training of your dog because in times of stress or ultimate confusion the dog always reverts back to what it learned in the foundation training.
