I'm a proud Mom to Homer, our gorgeous 13 week old (and 49 lb!) English Mastiff. He's such a joy. Though we're doing our best to work on that puppy nipping. I hope to work with Homer as a therapy dog, as his outgoing, confident personality brings joy to everyone he meets. If there are any...

:pray: Good Evening! Anticipating our new arrival tomorrow night into our pack. We currently have a 18 month old Chi and a 6 month old boxer/beagle mix. Both to which have been altered. The first worry I do have is the fact of leaving the puppy in his crate for longer than the "2" hour rule...

I just got my 14 week old mastiff puppy, and she seems to be terrified of going outside/walking on steps. I don't know what to do. I try to lure her out with treats but she just won't. She seems to think she's in trouble or something when I take her out. Any suggestions?

My english mastiff bogart is new to our home. We have only had him about 2 weeks. He doesn't seem to like toys but will fling towels around. When i am sitting down and try to scratch him on the head or pet him, he gets mouthy. In general he knows basic commands, He does respond to a firm Sit...

I am trying everything to crate train Nala. I feed, leave treats for her to find, and leave something recently worn in there for scent (heard that works? I don't know.) I've tried the heated water bottle, everything. The only time she's ever forced in is at night because she's only a puppy and...

For starters this is my first post on this forum. I used to be a regular on many forums in years past. I just got burned out on them. As a back ground I am in the West Texas area and have had Mastiffs in my life for most of 25 years. For a while we had up to 4 at a time at the homestead. And I...

I don't own an EM yet, but I am very curious what some good social situations for the puppy would be(The only thing that comes to mind are dog parks and relatives' houses). Also, what are the proper courses of action somewhere like a dog park when the puppy will be off the leash? To be more...

Hey guys, So I'm a new French Mastiff owner, and I was just wondering where are some good places to socialize and build confidence in my 5 month old male Douge de Bourdeaux puppy. He is very timid, and is scared easily, I'm worried that if his confidence isn't built and he doesn't have any...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum, and it seems great! I have Mastiff that is 6 months old and his name is Zeus. I love him very much and he is a great dog, and is very intelligent and learns quickly. He is fully house trained, sits, stays, shakes, and lays down, but for some reason, while...
