Years ago, I had a German Shepard and the kennel from which I bought the dog imported his dogs from Germany and then bred them here. He helped us train that dog and he recommended we train him in German.
With the Rottie, we're doing the same thing. We only need a few words, sit, stay, down, come, heel, and now, free. The Rottie, and the German Shepard before her, also responds to hand and foot signals. For example, if she is sitting at my side, and I begin walking by extending my left leg first, she knows that means heel. If I begin with my right foot, she knows she is to stay. Smart dog.
Thanks again for your input everyone.
Simon, thank you for the factoid about Walruses. Who'd of thunk it?
