How to cure an aggressive English Mastiff?

Big Dog | July 22nd, 2010

The first and most important thing is: prevention. It means training and socializing your English Mastiff from early puppyhood.
But if the trouble is already here and you have to deal with an aggressive English Mastiff, the first thing to do is to find the reason hidden behind its behavior. It is most probably some kind of fear that your dog has. It can be because of a previous owner,  the breeder, or it can be because of you, too. Make sure to give your dog enough care and space at the same time, make very clear limits on what he can do and he can’t. Consistence is very important too.
Don’t keep your dog chained, no matter what, because it leads directly to aggression.
It is very important for him to feel comfortable and to get positive feedbacks. Negative training can never lead to a solution, it’d only make things worse!
If you keep a positive atmosphere, all dogs have the possibility to live well-balanced.
