Hello everyone. My English Mastiff puppy is almost a week old (yay) and this is our first time raising a giant breed of dog. This puppy will go through training to be a social therapy dog for my 7 year old special needs child and of course a family pet We have begun to gather supplies for the puppy. We have a large dog bed, crate, leash and collar. We are talking to a trainer and plan to start puppy classes at 9 weeks old.
My question for all of you is what do you wish you had known the first time you got a mastiff? What would have helped your family and the puppy adjust?
I am also interested in feeding suggestions. Brands, nutritional content, etc.
Thanks and we are so excited to have a mastiff join our family!
