Are Bullmastiffs intelligent or easy to train?
Bullmastiffs are highly intelligent, stubborn, and think for themselves. Training this breed requires a patient owner that is more intelligent, stubborn, and is consistent with the training. In order to get a Bullmastiff to do a command for you, you have to convince them that it was their idea to do it in the first place (and a treat always helps). Their basic attitude towards training is: “What’s in it for me?” This breed has no problem with locking limbs against physical force and yelling at them will only fall on deaf ears.
