    Boerboel asserting dominance over child

    I have a 23 month old boerboel. We have raised him from a few month old pup. I have an almost 9 year old son who my dog has recently started snapping at. Today he got gim in the arm.

    HEEEELLLLP. My 8 mo. old mastiff puppy is not a problem...but his presence is

    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...
