New member and new Perro de Presa Canario owner- Kansas City

Hey to everyone out there. Im a new member here from Kansas City and have been spending plenty of time looking through posts looking for tips and tricks. I have always had dogs growing up, and my girlfriend and I have our 4y.o. lab/terrier mix. I am however also now a proud parent to a 10 week old male Perro de Presa Canario puppy named Nico (neeko) short for Nicolas, I figured a spanish name would be fitting. I brought him home two weeks ago and wow, is he growing (literally doubled from 10-20lbs) and learning right before my eyes everyday. I will definitely be reaching out to all of you seasoned veterans for advice in the future. Thanks!

p.s. I know, I know...pics, pics, pics....I am at work now and will throw up some shots when I get home.

He's from a gal locally who has a litter only once every 2-3 years so she can retire her dog and raise a new pup to show. His blood line comes from Shaka zulu and Irema curto

How has training gone? Have you run into any issues considering the hard headedness? Did you do formal training with a trainer?
I can already start to see this little butthead's attitude, pretty funny when he tries to act like he's not listening to daddy.

You need to build a bond with that pup. Presas are more owner sensitive and you should not be having those kind of problems. Are you going to get a trainer? I know a few there in Kansas if ya need and they know Presas
If ya have questions please ask as I am here to help .. I've been training dogs for many years :)

You know, i def get that stubborness alot but i quickly check him and he knows who's boss. Now all I need to do is come straight at him with a stern voice tone and his ears taper back, head lowers, and he knows he's outta place. Really don't have to do much of that now, he's a good boy. We did do some basic obedience training as a family so he knows he's on the bottom of the totem pole. Riddick follows me around like he's stuck to my hip......he loves daddy!!!! haha

I find that my biggest obstacle right now is his attitude towards large alpha male type dogs, such as mastiff's and pitbulls. He tightens up and I see the fur raised on his back and neck and he wants to challenge anything and everything. I'm trying to get him to chill when other dogs are present cuz I really think it's ghetto looking and shows no discipline when he wants to fight. I understand the natural aggressiveness of this breed but I believe with patience and training, it can be toned down.
