I wholeheartedly agree with your trainer. Confidence is key for Rottweilers. If they feel secure and trusted, they will follow your lead more effectively than by just enforcing strict obedience.

Building confidence in a Rottweiler is crucial, in my experience. I learned that positive reinforcement and socialization help them become more self-assured. They thrive on leadership, but it's all about balance. You want to encourage them to think for themselves while still respecting commands.
