Our pup is 5 months old, we just bought him a rawhide bone today and gave it to him. he loved it but just walking by him when he was biting it he started growling at us. my husband got close to him and he went on full attack mode! he was so aggressive we had never heard him growl like that...

Hello everyone, My family has a french mastiff who's about 1 1/2 years old. He's going to be living with me now because he had a biting incident and my mother is going to be having a baby soon so he can't stay, it's not safe for the baby/ youngest child. He wasn't socialized very well/ at all...

Hiya all, I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice regarding my shark mastiff, Kali. She is 9 months old as is her sister Ela, they are Neos. If you have read my other posts, you will know I have have some trouble with them chasing goats, cats and horses, but after lots more...

I was hoping for some good feedback about an issue I'm having with my 16 month Mastiff. He has been raised with 2 children (6 and 8 years old), and 1 other dog. I have socialized my guy since the start- when we got him at 8 weeks. He has been through 3 training classes and been out and about...

I am new to the forum. I have a four dog home. A female belgian Malinois,Cleopatra, who runs the house. A female Fila, Venus, who is four. And a male Cane Corso, Valentino, who is the baby at 14 months. A few months ago, we inherited a male coonhound, Spartacus. They mostly get along fine...

We have a 14 month old English Mastiff/Cane Corso cross. She has always been fearful, but we socialized her constantly from the time we got her, and up until last night we thought we had her in a good place. She's still cautious, but warms up to people and other dogs after a proper introduction...

Hi, This is my first post on here. I adopted a 9mnth male Boerboel from a local lady who could not manage him/trust him. He is now 16mnth/60kg/healthy/BARF diet etc... My other half really wanted this dog but I was unsure as I had never handled such a powerful dog and we have 3 kids aged 12...

Hello- We adopted our purebred EM from a military family about a year ago now and he was (and is) the sweetest thing. However, he can be very tempermental, lunging at males as we walk, and snapping at people in our house. He hasn't bit anyone yet, but I'm nervous about this behavior as he is...

My EM has turned 1yearold just last month. I’ve had him since he is 12 weeks old. I immediately hired a trainer because with a big dog comes a big responsibility. That’s my motto! Met with a trainer he did puppy kindergarten with him and told me to meet up again when he is 6 months to start...

Hi.  I was searching out information to see if this is something normal for a Mastiff puppy, or if something is really wrong, and I came across this forum.  I have a 6 month old blue Neo Mastiff, female- Astrid- Divine Strength.  Most of the time, she is great- she is incredibly...

This is a long post. Bear with me--I want to be sure I do the right thing, because we can't afford another family tragedy like our family experienced four months ago when we lost our 2 year old GSD, Soldier. Soldier bit a 12 year old kid (while on leash), with no warning (and I was always...

I just moved with my 8 month old English mastiff puppy to my parent's house that has 3 dogs, two young females and a VERY senile 15 year old male (neutered). My mastiff is un-neutered (for now) and as docile as he could be. But the 2 (spayed) female dogs (6 yrs and 4 years) are anti-newcomer...

So as some of you may know, We have an almost 4 month old Fila male. We also have a 2 yr old female who is pretty self explanitory.. shes very independent, protective but not too, and she doesnt need extreme attention. Our puppy tho, i have noticed, he will bark when someone comes inside our...

Hello Everyone! My boyfriend and I have a 2 year old female fila brasiliero mastiff, Molly, she is sweet and friendly (except to intruders lol). She has an attitude sometimes but nothing has become an issue untill now... I should afirst say that this is the 150 pound dog that got bossed around...
