Hi Laura - I think you did the right thing in working with the dog and the
rottie. I would also encourage the owners to attend a good obedience class
where the dog can be around lots of dogs in a controlled situation. I would
just make sure the instructor is one that truly understands dog behavior, has
the background on this dog and is not biased towards GSDs. Also, I would
recommend that when the owners are more relaxed about walking their dog, that
they take a something with them to distract their dog when their dog starts to
focus in on another dog. This can be food or a special toy that the dog likes.
When I have a dog that is focusing on something they should not, ie another
dog I use the command "think" followed by a correction to look at me. Now,
whenever I say the word "think" to one of my dogs, they know to focus on me and
not get into trouble. Of course, my dogs are always on leash as I am not a big
fan of dog parks or off leash walking.
