Hi Bella,I had the honour of getting your help last year with a problem breeder in Germany.I wanted to ask how to properly condition a dog which i bought 3weeks ago from a friend that is very out of condition.I would like to see more stamina,muscularity,etc.He has done very well here in Canada.He came from a very nice breeder originally,Von Der Magistrale in Germany.He is a gorgeous Ando son -Orpheus Von Der Magistrale and his brothers are also all successfull.I will need to title him cause the friend who had him only did the BH because of time and also him and I resigned from the club we were at.It is very difficult in Toronto Ontario Canada to find competent trainers in schutzhund.They just wont take the professional suggestions from people that have success in the sport such as Gilbert,Thomas,Bernard and others who have been here.They dont see it as a sport,they are looking for man eaters and then wonder why they have issues that get them disqualified.Anyway enough said about that.Any suggestions are appreciated and by the way he is 3 years and 4 months old.Many thanks in advance.Ciao from Domenic

Domenic, If you are located in Toronto, there is the Working Rottwieler Association. Joanne Fleming and Lisa Little are part of that club and are good trainer. Have you tried that club? They are not just a Rottie club either. Lisa and Joanne train Mal's and GSD's. They are also going to host the 07 DVG Nationals. Vickie

Hey Pwrhs,do you by any chance have contact info for them?Thanks

Domenic, I would go to the DVG America website and they are listed there! I will send you an email tonite when I am home. Vickie
