Claudia, You understand training. I have had Rotties before and they were doggie and human socialized from puppyhood - gentle souls... used for Therapy work. I am against trainers who beat their dogs into submission, therefore breaking their spirit...Fostering pooches who are terrified of human contact is the result of people abusing them. Just like human domestic violence. Sickens me!!... I wish there were a tougher sentence for jerks that abuse animals. Being the pack leader of our group has worked, however Luna our larger Chi likes to alert me when the big dogs are eating out of the little dogs bowls - the first one to see who is at the door, breaks up toy ripping & Turbo the unneutered male Chi peeing on any of the groceries that was just bought and brought in the house. She'll growl and bark! and gets a treat when she acts like a "security guard"! The Chi's are the most spoiled though!! I tend to be over protective of them. Funny, my husband who is a Golden Retriever lover is now a protective grandpa - dad to his little girls! Gloria C "Be strong and courageous... for God is with you wherever you go"

She uses positive reinforcement techniques. I occasionally watch Dog Whisperer but DO NOT like Ceaser's training techniques at all! He is too forceful and doesn't use much positive training.
