About the Mastiff
Known for their calm and dignified with a natural protective instinct and a stubborn streak that increases with age, Mastiffs have a massive, gentle calm and protective loyalty that makes them the most imposing couch potato you'll ever meet.
Common Mastiff Training Challenges
The most common challenge Mastiff owners face is stubbornness and drooling on everything they guard. Other frequent issues include stubbornness, guarding, leash pulling due to sheer mass, and slobber management.
Sound familiar?
Picture your Mastiffs dragging you across the street with terrifying strength, drooling on every guest while blocking the doorway, and leaning on people so hard they almost fall over.
The Right Training Approach for Mastiffs
The key to training a Mastiff lies in leveraging their natural desire to please their family and responsiveness to calm authority that produces rock-solid obedience from 200 pounds of dog. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Mastiffs are not motivated by repetition. Keep training sessions under 5 minutes and vary exercises constantly. A bored Mastiff simply lies down and refuses to participate.
Mastiff puppies grow to 200+ pounds. Every behavior you allow as a puppy becomes a 200-pound problem. Start boundaries immediately.
The Transformation
Whether your Mastiff is a growing puppy who is already enormous or a full-grown giant who needs manners before they crush someone with love, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your massive, gentle Mastiff walking beside you on a loose leash despite outweighing you, greeting guests with a calm tail wag, and lying down politely when company comes over.
