You are right in the sense that a good or bad trainer will make or break a dog, BUT it is a fact that some dogs are easier to train and more willing to please than others. In other words, they are more eager and enthusiastic about what they are learning. Take for example my dog. A wolfhound/mastiff cross pup who is in preschool right now. Getting him to do anything next to fall asleep on the floor is a challenge and then we look to the left of us to see an Aus. Shep who is sitting up perky and panting looking at their owner and saying "what's next...hmmm?....hmmm?...what do we get to learn next??...hurry mom, hurry...pant, pant!" While this takes place I have my pup in a sit-stay and he is slowly melting into a lay down position!!LOL

You know, a while back Renee said that I was "very ambitious" for wanting to use him for competitive obedience....I know what you mean now!!!LOL!!!!

Hi there.

ARE THEY EASY TO TRAIN
Has I have a Bullmastiff myself, I would say they are easy to train, BUT he can become easily bord and distracted so we recommend to keep lessons short.The addition of food treats as rewards is also beneficial as they are a food driven breed of dog. We also recommend to always leave training on a good note and keep it fun.

ARE THEY A GOOD GUARD DOG
This is a breed that was bred solely to guard, therefore it is their natural instincts, they are not a herding breed unlike most other large breeds that are for some reason used as guard dogs. Without a doubt even the most aloof of the breed will surprise you. I call the Bullmastiff the natural guardian, as they know the TRUE meaning of danger and act. Occasionally depending on the individual character some can become overly protective of his family.

DO THEY DROOL
They will drool if you happen to be eating in front of them or if it is a hot day or if they have just had a drink, a cloth should always be at hand.
