Can You Trust Your Mastiff With Other Animals?
As a general rule, if a Mastiff is well socialized as a
puppy, then it will get along well with other dogs as an
adult. It should be as calm and patient with other dogs as
it is with children. In fact, most Mastiffs love playing
with small dogs. The Mastiff is peaceful and tolerant, and
usually will just turn its back even if attacked. It will
rarely fight unless it has to in order to protect itself or
a member of the family.

If your Mastiff was unlucky and not well socialized as a
puppy, then it may be aggressive toward other dogs. In this
case, it is best not to place such a dog in the same family
as another dog of the same sex. When your puppy matures,
the two dogs will fight for dominance - it is just in their
nature to behave this way. Read more »

I have no road sense at all - when we get near a road, I only stop if Mum tells me to. I have to stay on the lead most of the time until we get to the park, and when I first came here I used to pull on the lead quite a lot. That was the main reason for going to obedience classes. They said that Mum should be firm and pull me back whenever I pull on the lead. And there is a good reason for this, cos my Nan isn’t strong enough to take me for a walk unless I walk to heel. The technique was to pull me back and even turn round completely, then we only start walking again if I walk beside the humans - not in front of them. I am still not perfect, (especially if I want to go to the toilet) but our walks on the lead are mostly OK.
