Mastiffs are a great breed of dog to keep as a pet. I know I have one and it is one of the best pets I have ever had. I know some people will find them intimidating due to the sheer size they grow to. I know that for me it was a consideration that I had to take into account because I have two small babies and several other dogs. However, after I bought my Mastiff I realized it was one of the best I’d own. The key thing to keep in mind when you have a pet of this size is that you will need to make sure it is obedience trained.

I know some Mastiff owners will agree with that statement, while others will say that their dog listens to them without them having to worry about the behavior. However, for the safety of yourself, your family, and friends, you’ll want to make sure you have obedience training. Not only that, if you’re going to be showing your pet at dog shows, you’ll want to make sure you have the control over them that obedience training can give you.

Now, if you just want to keep your mastiff as a family pet, you’ll still want to seriously consider obedience training because they’re so big. Even if you think they’ll be perfectly fine with any tame animal, you’ll want to help them learn commands so they know what to do when you tell them.
