Let me hazard a guess.....because she was oh so smooth in her sales technique and convinced these people that all their "problems" could be solved with a simple press of a button!......BUTTON!!.....

I'm a horse person, too. Let me ask you something.....would you use a chain on the nose of a FOAL? I doubt it....you realize a foal is a baby, and so is a 3 month old puppy!

Any Rottie puppy worth its salt is a rascal. Note I said
RASCAL. They are full of life and full of enthusiasm for experiencing it. To try and zap that out of a puppy truly just makes me want to cry.
GET THEM AWAY from that "trainer" and with someone who will help them raise this little puppy without zapping the joy out of her. Please.
