All dogs have different personality's!
Most need more training then others!

LOL Hotmama!!!!
Take your time with him. You seem very experienced with dogs...and I know that you know that you can only get out of him, what you put in.
Patience. Praise. Patience Praise.
Go nuts when he does something right. Ignore him or gesture with body language when he does something wrong. He'll get it!
Plus, since he is new to the "pack"...he's just trying to figure out his role. Rott/Lab miz, should be pretty intelligent.
Good Luck with him!!

Dogs aren't dumb or stupid. Some tend to be stubborn, tenacious and determined which a lot of people mistake for stupidity.

dogs are only as intelligent as the owner who trained them....evidently the ower whom you got the dog from did not train very well...training is not up to you...its a large hard process...but after 2 years the dog should be very well trained....good luck

Take him to a dog training class if you'r ehaving trouble...You didn't really say what he was doing that you need help with so you won't get much advice..

dogs aren't dumb, just the humans that own them
