Are Mastiffs easy to train?
Mastiffs can be both easy and difficult to train. Mastiffs are dogs that live to please. They are smart in their own way, but some do go through stubborn phases in their early development.
Formal training is a must for Mastiffs. Not only due to their enormous size, but training actually helps bond the owner and Mastiff and can keep problems from developing.
Mastiffs are very sensitive. Once trained, a Mastiff will only need a stern voice for correction.
Great Plains Mastiff Rescue believes that all Mastiffs, especially those who come into rescue, should get into a good, reputable training program. We have had the pleasure of working with K9 University in Oklahoma City since 2006, and have seen the wonderful work they do with our Mastiffs. From the simple Basic Obedience training to the more complicated Behavior Modification training, K9 University has exceeded our expectations and has proven to be an excellent resource for owners of dogs of any breed. Their love and dedication for training is invaluable. Thank you K9 University for helping our Mastiffs be the best companions they can be!
