Are Bullmastiffs good house dogs?
Bullmastiffs are very good housedogs. They are tolerant with children and learn to manage their great size. • What about training? It is a good idea to take your puppy to a socialization class offered by a local all breed club or Humane Society and get them used to meeting other people and dogs. • What type of collar should be used for training? A good chain collar is a must for obedience or leash work. The neck of the Bullmastiff is very muscular. Remember though, remove that collar if you are not going to be around for even a few minutes! • Does a Bullmastiff need much exercise? To be healthy, a dog needs exercise. A Bullmastiff should have a fenced area where it can exercise. They enjoy daily walks but remember a growing Bullmastiff should not enter into any type of activity that overly stresses its joints. • When should training start? Take control immediately. Puppies are very eager to please, and learn quickly. High intelligence is sometimes confused with stubbornness. Dont be fo
