I think many behavior and obedience issues come down to (1) you understanding the dog, (2) the dog understanding you, (3) your timing in interruptors or corrections, and (4) the respect the dog has for you. I would work on these 4 irrespective of the tool. Then layer the tool that is best for the situation. That is, when something does not work, try to place the fault in one of these 4 categories and try to figure out what you can do better in that respect — cuz we only have control of ourselves anyway. Hope it helps!

I’m sure that if you reach out to Robert in the member questions or the member live sessions he will be able to provide some pointers. Dogs and cats don’t always work. It is not something I would ask my dogs to do — I think it would be too much to ask for my pups. But for some people/dogs it can work, or it perhaps it can be managed.

By member questions I meant the AMA, not the forums. The forums are generally for the members to interact amongst themselves.

It is going to get very very expensive… amongst other things cuz I’m keeping one of the pups. 😂😂
Have to figure out if I’ll keep a boy or a girl. I would like the one with the most spunk! But I also think it might be a bit easier to have 3 boys and 1 girl rather than 2 pairs. It’s gonna be craaaaazy!
We are already known as “The Rottweiler House” 😂👍

I emailed the vet that did the operation that should have prevented her from getting pregnant (fallopian tube ligation). We will see what he says, but it is almost besides the point now.

I wonder how many we will keep? LOL

If feeding a good balanced food it should already have everything the pup needs. If 1/4 or more of the diet is homemade, raw or otherwise, then I would look to add supplements. If it is a giant breed I would be careful not to over-promote bone growth. Don’t really have an opinion on Nuvet. Good luck!!

I would go with this type

Oh I meant puffed up as in taking on a prouder posture, not as in raised hackles.

I use the Herm Sprenger 3.2 or 4 mm. Robert likes the smaller ones because they are lighter and deliver a sharper correction. Perhaps he would go for the 3 mm (?). He does think the 4 mm is too big. The 4 mm looks much larger, and the prongs are less sharp, which is why I have my dog walker use it (in case she uses the collar to hold the dog as opposed to communicate with the dog, so the prongs will dig in less — it is also a 100 lb dog). They come in chrome-plated, stainless, black stainless and hypoallergenic. All are good. I would stay away from the models with quick release as they open unexpectedly depending on the twists and turns.
