Larry Cook i have a mastiff about a year old any tips?

You're lucky to still have him. :(

If you came to see him in the street, park or most any setting he is a big lap dog, and friendly. If you tried to get into my vehicle when parked, up my driveway, or yelled or grabbed at my wife or I, he would let you know it won't happen. Strangers coming up driveway are met with a dog who's head is at the window of they're car as they approach. He is barking and growling and will not let them up driveway. And no one has ever made it out of their car towards the house. Once he knows you, he's your best buddy.

My masstiff is 9

I have an english mastiff he is 2yrs old weights 210 lb

I am so sorry for you and pray for peace for you. It must be a sad day. I will be torn when mine go down and they are getting older. May you have peace going thru this.

what is there to get all emotional about.Just wake him up.

So hope you are feeling a bit better by now. You will never forget him/her but the worst will soon fade and leave wonderful memories.

need weed I just put mine down two weeks ago hardest time of my life

When this was posted was the time my parents had to have my Bullmastiff put down.

So when do you apply obedience training if dont implement it the dog becomes aloof and destructive

I quickly learned that positive reinforcement, lots of love and attention got our mastiff to the excellent brilliant girl that she is💖. Don’t berate them they’re too smart!!

The key is to be consistent. Also in obedience just use something that mastiff really likes is it a toy or a treat(many times when u talk a about mastiffs this is the best😁) it doesnt matter.

That’s a lot

haha, love it. You would be surprised. My female seems like she is scared of people, she keeps her distance, and if a stranger comes at her, she backs off while barking. But when someone yelled at my wife, she was in attack mode and their was no mistake about what would happen if he continued his verbal attack. Trust these dogs love their masters and will defend.

The only time my girl got aggressive was with another female Mastiff we ran into at a ball game. They were doing the normal sniff around each other and mine just nipped her outa nowhere. She’s never done that with any other dog. We did rescue her from a breeder that was having problems with the other dogs attacking her though. I bet it just brought back memories of that.

This true. But if there is a situation like someone would really trying to hurt one of the mastiffs owners/family. Dont know what would happen, but i dont think mastiff would just watch it happening and not to do anything. Hope there never is going to be situation line that tho.

Love English mastiff :)

My tea cup chihuahua would kick their ass Easily 😂

@@johnmccafferty2120 chihuahua going for the ankles

Both true 😃, also they are very gentle and loyal to the family.

I love American Bulldogs also. LIke a walking muscle.

I know what you mean about slime. We've done Dane rescue for about 12 or 13 years now and some times have had as many as six in the house at a time. You can imagine the slime. Some Danes don't drool much at all but on the otherhand, the others make up for it. We are fostering an EM right now. She's not too bad but does drool after drinking. I call them icicles when I find them hanging. We have found "slime" icicles even hanging from our trees in the back yard. I've often said, if you have a Dane or English Mastiff you MUST have a since of humor!! Good luck, Larry, with your wonderful EM. 13 yo and 215 lbs., wow!! You're doing something right my friend, most likely several somethings. Keep up the good work and give those Mastiffs a giant hug for me.

Yeah, the slobberers of slobberers English Mastiffs are.

Oh Hell no The Biggest Dogs Known to Kill things are the least You wanna Have around Children 0 IQ Although Your Dog might be Different I have a 4 Year old Mastiff who's 230 Pounds Male And Very Agressive towards other people than me It Killed a Raccoon and It was Killed with no mercy

@@lodii7246 mastiff are really gentle

@@lodii7246 just because you have a very poorly socialised english mastiff (if it is an english mastiff as you just said mastiff) or one that has been bred with individuals of poor temperament doesn't mean that they are typically like your dog. Most aren't like that. They are protective of their families and are usually great with children (however should always be supervised) due to thier gentle natures. If socialised they are ment to aloof with strangers, not outwardly aggressive.

Ye, this is so true.

Thinking the one on the chain may have been an obese bull mastiff or boerboel. English isn't supposed to have tail docked.

Nature Boy Sadly I do believe it's still an English, obviously owned by an ignorant and possibly abusive owner

@@natureboy7766 Eh tail can be docked for a number of reasons in the UK no dogs are meant to be docked for show purposes. If it's a hunting dog,police dog etc then it can be done. It could have been docked for a working purpose. It looks more English mastiff than Boerboel to me. I have a boerboel and they are typically far more athletic than the English Mastiff. Then again with poor breeding and being fat its hard to tell sometimes.

They are guard dogs

These Kind of Dogs are Strong and Can Kill a man Criminals be Training Dogs to Kill other people And Especially Big Dog Breeds Those tend to be the Main Target of criminals that Wants a Aggressive Dog I have a 230 Lb Mastiff And he is aggressive as Hell, i didint Train him to do that Its just his Personality, Killed a Raccoon and Brought to me

For me, I like them more than any dog I have had, for others they may like another. Each his own. I love animals. Dogs especially, they show true agape love (even to someone who yells and screams at them, they show love). People, treat your animal as you want to be treated.

@@JoopShoop2 yes Larry

Turkish kangal says hello 775 psi bite force stronger than any breed even a lion being at 550psi

no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners

Bro is vegan😂😂😂😂

It’s called shitty song by shitty artist.

Sharon, you are right! That is NOT a purebred Mastiff. It's obviously a cross-breed of some sort of Mastiff. AND it seems it is from some foreign country. Wrong, wrong, wrong!!! They should just take down this video!

Hello I thought so too but I seen some that are cropped What do u think about that I like it Or the ears cropped tall like a

Daughters.Of. Odin That behavior right there is pack defense, which is to be expected with any Mastiff, let alone an English. Him getting in between you isn't seeing the person as a threat, it's a defensive and possessive posture (meaning he's telling the person "he's mine, back off) If you want to train him not to do so, good luck! All I suggest is enjoy such an attachment while you can!

@@jordanelliott7643 i dont mind the attachment. or the protectiveness. it makes me feel like his favorite compared to the rest of my family. my main consern is what if me and my sister are just wresling and he thinks 'oh shit someones hurting mom' and goes after my little sister because of that pack protection mentality

Daughters.Of. Odin That's when you can show him play fight from a real fight; let the dog get in the middle of you two in calm moderation and show him that nothing bad is coming from it, but if he insists on defense: you may simply have to put him in a different room.

Your right. My mastiff is very protective, but once he realizes no threat, he is good. He will not allow grandkids to argue or fight. He will get between them and push them away with his head and bark. HIs bark usually does the trick. People who don't own them seem to think they are not aggressive. I have had 3 now. I live in southern Oregon with many meth heads coming to peoples property stealing. No one has ever made it up the drive way, the power company has CAUTION for aggressive dogs, yet our UPS driver who knows them can deliver packages at will. In public they are great. But I would never just let a stranger walk up them unless wife or I are there to tell his its ok. He is the best protection dog I have ever had, well right there with a Akita/ Bull Mastiff cross, and another Mastiff/Rott cross.

Look at noble the English mastiff he is the last of the working old English mastiffs. He is 35 inches and weighs 200 pounds
