    Default hi all

    I am newly owned by a 13 month old English mastiff named Bella.

    She was previously kept mainly outside, but is now becoming an indoor dog very quickly. In just 2 days she has made great strides with things like house breaking and family inter action. We have already adjusted to car rides, and even made a trip up to Petsmart together.

    It took us nearly 2 hours just to pick up a bottle of shampoo with all the attention she got. She was very scared of leashes when we got her, but now knows they are a good thing. She is incredible on leash, and we have not had to use the training collar at all.

    Today she is even starting to play with us a little bit, but is happiest when she has some form of contact. It can be as simple as a paw on your leg, or pressed against your leg when pausing on leash. She has already claimed her spot in the house, which is right in middle of our bed.

    The only things left to work on is the snoring and the farting, but I think she will get used to me doing that at night pretty quick.

    Welcome! If you can sort out both the snoring AND the farting then you will be a king amongst owners!

    LOL, I guess she'll have to put up with it! Pics please


    Learning is always happening between the dog and owner - if your dog isn't learning what you want them to, perhaps the tables have been turned.

    Here she is. I will get better ones when the camera recharges. Sorry that they are sideways. This tablet gets the better of me sometimes

    Welcome to the board! She looks very pretty.
    If my boy didn't have a patented smell I could blame a couple of more things on him.

    Welcome. Glad she has a home where she can stay inside with her people.
