strong jaw dogs take a lot of work and care.
When I had my Rottweiler, I never allowed him to
play-fight with me when he was young, like I did with my other dogs.
He grew huge and I never stopped with the
'don't lead, check, with your mouth' training
Training was tough and never ending, to gently push his head to the side and say no, when he would put even his nose to whatever approached him.
I never hit him, Rotts are tough and aloof, it wouldn't have done any good anyway.
Like the other poster said, be a dog.
Every day of his life, I would get down on all 4's and push him down on his side gently and hold my forehead on his shoulder until he 'submitted'
I had him 11? years (cancer) and he never even attempted to bite anyone, even being the fierce watchdog he was.
My son and lots of his friends, no issues ever.
The one time he defended his home, he charged and knocked the person flat with his forehead. no biting.
with all that said, dogs, regardless of breed are all different.
I had to get rid of one mongrel that I had for years, because he growled at my son. I went after him violently but he wouldn't drop his neck hair or head. No biting, but he wouldn't 'submit'.
Gave him to a friend that needed a garage watchdog the same day.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
