If you have a big breed dog like Chico, its important to start training when they are young. If
your dog is overpowering you try taking your dog for a walk or run before you start your training
session. If you are picking out a dog to adopt try gently placing the dog/puppy into the down position
to evaluate how dominate the dog/puppy is. Check with the owner of the dog first to get some
basic information about the dog. if the dog puts up a lot of resistance then don't press the issue
as you don't want to provoke aggressive behavior. When in doubt give me a call and I can help you
out. You want to make sure you get the right dog for your lifestyle.

Chico is quite handsome! We have bullmastiffs (yes, plural!). You are spot on!

I haven't seen a bull mastiff in awhile, I did some training with a couple of Neapolitans and a couple of cane corsos. lots of power and usually some attitude.

They are amazingly loyal and want to be part of the pack. Admittedly, they are headstrong, but then again, that's what they were need for...to be independent thinkers...
