#7 He always wants to be with his people and doesn’t like to be alone. Well brought up, he is an ideal family dog.
Is the Mastiff a Beginner Dog? Due to its even-tempered nature, the Mastiff is perfectly suitable for beginners. As a newcomer, you should definitely take him to a dog school. In a puppy group, your mastiff can play with other dogs and learn how to interact with them.
#8 Mastiffs are docile and, apart from a certain stubbornness they sometimes display, easy to train. However, consistent training is necessary from puppy age onwards.
If you don't give your dog direction, he will make his own way, which can cause serious problems for an adult mastiff of their size and strength.
