Sorry for the spelling it's late and I'm sort of peefed.
One more thing, she has always been hard to correct. I thought I had forgoten how to do anything with Rotts. SO I had one of the police officers come by. He does all the training for the county K9's. He said I need some help but she' just a hard dog. Needs a hard handler. He showed me how to use the proge with her. We sharpend the prongs some. This did the trick. No more pulling and when used for correction I don't have to pop it as hard. Now I see why this is such a good tool for training.
Thanks

Chuck,
I think you're missing the boat on this. Why all the focus on correcting your puppy? Try focusing more on teaching the dog new behaviors and reward learning with food, praise and a toy. If the pup is smelling/eating something on the ground that you don't want him to eat, tell him to leave it and move on. There is no need for a correction. Start teaching your dog and stop punishing him unfairly. You want to build your relationship with your dog.

This is why I am looking for away of keeping in control on walks only. this is where I have to have her not able to jerk as hard as she does at times.

And I see where I am making some misstakes. I will correct this and start really working with her now.
Thanks for all the help.

Matthew,
The sharpening of prongs was an old German trick back in the days before effective E collars. The prongs aren't sharpened to a point, they're just squared off ( and just one prong link ).
I haven't seen it done for some years now, but it was an old standby on extremely hard dogs back then.
Trainers just didn't talk about it, needless to say.
