Exactly. But before they grow to understand who the leader is and that they need to obey in all circumstances, the owner needs to be physically strong too, if not for other reasons, than for their dog's safety. For some people it's much easier to teach the rules to a 27 kg dog than to 40 or more one.

When I see a dog wearing a spike or electric collar (which Lorka, just like Chey has never worn ), and the owner explains: "he pulled so strongly that I couldn't manage him" I alway wonder why he bought such a big and strong dog.

Well, I imagine when deciding whether to buy a male of female one should also take this purely practical aspect under consideration.
