Bullmastiff Protection Work

[chargerjeff1]

I want to teach my dog to use a gun then he will be a double threat

[SuperSkyfive]

Nice video i enjoyed watching it,good training youve done.i want to train my bully kutta mastiff bitch shes 1 year old,any advice pls... Shes very protective and alert but gets nervous bit of a fear bitter ive been told.how do i change this?

[ABBAbulldogs]

as for dogs making mistake's the only mistake are people. and there ignorant ways just take a look at a gun another example of ignorant people built for one reason making the mistake of murdering whos or whats in front of it by accedently pull the trigger.or my favorite the ignorant people who say im sorry i made a mistake i didnt mean to leave that gun out my child didnt mean to kill your family member.the only mistake in this world is mqan himself history has proven that countless times.....

[ABBAbulldogs]

if you dog kills someone many state now send the dogs owner to prision for life so guns are guns and dogs are dogs you just cant win why they both need you to pull that trigger that make em kill....

[MMM08091104]

If you get woken in the middle of the night to a armed robber what good will a bat be? A lot of people can say they will shoot a gun but in the face of an actual situation is different. Give me the dog any day.

[MrHui777]

why is the dog listening to women? such disgrace, i'd eat her alive.

[MichaleenOFlynn1]

Did you start him as a puppy in prey drive, as you would a shepherd or malinois? I haven't found much literature on training a bullmastiff in schutzhund. You've done a good job.

[dissimulii]

guns are safer, eh? even a retard dog with piss poor training probably isn't going to misidentify a family member for an intruder and attack them. nothing like daddy shooting his own kid sneaking in at night...

[upassedthetest]

DONT BUY A GUN ONLY FAGS NEED GUNS

[ElvesFilms]

I would not feel safe with just one arm protector on =p

[talldudegrad12]

Training a dog makes it feel like a part of the family. Training dogs also releases stress and helps with anxiety. Plus their having fun look at those waggin tails :D

[TheSneakyVikingJarl]

Is it really necessary to train your dog to do this. Not that I have anything against it. But that dog could look at me wrong and I'd run.

[franchisethebest]

bullmastiff are great dogs love them

[TheIvanyoung]

You feel you need protection then buy a gun , or carry a baseball bat "DO NOT TRAIN A DOG FOR THIS" . You people make me sick. A gun or a bat can be fully controlled. A dog , even the best trained can make a mistake, Then you cry , sorry but he has never done that before. Sure he did because you trained him to be like that. To use an object in self defense you are accountable , to use a trained dog for defense should be a crime.

[nochance34]

@TheIvanyoung

I think you don't understand two things......training and dogs. This is the same type of training used to train military and police dogs, ring sport and schutzen dogs.

You think a guy with a bat or a gun can't make a mistake? I'd say you're much more likely to kill someone with one of those than with a properly trained protection dog.

See that little girl at the beginning. For 7 years that dog was her best friend. After the exercise she was back giving the girl kisses.

[YourLoveLetter]

@TheIvanyoung lol guns are a million times more dangerous than trained dogs. If a dog is properly trained they dont have accidents, they only attack on command.

[Taud]

@TheIvanyoung Well i think if you made the rules the world would be one backwards ass fucked up place, man has used dogs as a guard for thousands of years since the stone age, the minute you add a weapon like a gun or a bat, its a whole other situation in court, the dog however can be easily proven to be a protector and a guardian doing its job, accidents happen, those of us who own dogs have fances,gates and signs "beware of dog" for a reason....

[dappafreshone777]

@TheIvanyoung You do not have a clue what your talking about!! Idiot!!

[collegekid491]

@TheIvanyoung

A dog is mean't for work, its not simply a little toy/food pit. Besides, a properly trained dog is better for protection 1)you hit someone with a bat/gun you will be sued and possibly tried for murder. 2) Introducing a weapon means if you lose it they will use it against you and your family. 3) Can call police/secure family while pursuing attacker. 4) Attackers can't hide from dogs very long. 5) If you aren't home, you going to expect a babysitter to use your .40?

[TheIvanyoung]

@collegekid491 Actually the dog can also be considered a weapon just like hanging a beware of dog sign is an admission of guilt (that will hold up in the court of law) that you new your dog was capable of inflicting injury. As for the dog , did you not hear about the case where the older teenager simply choked out the police dogs life when they set it loose on him. Most people panic when a dog goes on the attack but a calm headed person can and potently will overpower the K9 if they wish to.

[MegaTacolover]

Lol funny they use a black men as there training hahahahhaajjaja

[gmonsteratyate]

A buddy of mines has a cane corso n we were interested in the same type of training for them just wondering if u can buy that sleeve somewhere? And if so where?

[trw547764u]

you should never train your dog to attack humans.

[trw547764u]

she can't control her dog? struggling to pull on the leash? a dog should never o against their masters. atlest mine would'nt

[trw547764u]

bullmastiff are my favorite dogs so easy to train and work with.

[cr8zyhowse]

Bull Mastiffs should NEVER be trained for this.. they have a natural guarding instinct.. they will defend thier people to the death.. read up on them .. that is awful

[81nickyboy]

wow cool i remember my female bullmastiff xia xia...my trainor never had a hard time of teaching my bullmastiff from basic obedience up to protection dog training. compare to my neighbor german sheperd it took his dog one week and up to learn the basic obedience

[Mewsaphine]

I must take up for this woman's case. She is correct, Mastiffs are a guarding breed, they make excellent protection dogs because they are extremely reserved. They don't throw their weight around, but won't hesitate to react and protect their owners with their lives if it is asked of them. My boss has an English Mastiff that is a trained THERAPY dog, and he's used to guard the store. He has no formal protection training, but he's prevented a few theft attempts by doing what comes naturally.

[MrStiturbo]

had to use a b guy

[nochance34]

@MrStiturbo

Absolutely.....wanted the best trainer around, got him, and his experience and knowledge was worth every penny.

[zarakitten99]

Awesome dogs.

[tanneshaandahmed]

he moves slow,need a faster one like that jerman shephard

[circa025]

are bullmastiff and lab mix also like this? i have one who is about 3 months old and he is pretty obediant with me but how do i get him to be a guard dog?

[flenny]

btw 5 *'s for your dogs and their work!

[flenny]

I've never heard of a Super Malinois, how are they different from the reg Malinois?, I have a Neo MastiffxAPBT who behaves just like your BM, ignores the stranger until they give him reason to react or you (the owner) becomes threatened

[nochance34]

Just super in attitude and ability. She was a very large bitch back then and compared to what you see now, she'd have been a giant.

She was also the nanny for the little girl at the beginning. We didn't get it on tape but between sessions she was over giving the little girl kisses.

[bluegama500]

@nochance34 LOL no offense but why did they use a Welsh Corgi for protection training?Anyone who can get taken down by a welsh corgi is purely one pathetic little man.

[nochance34]

@bluegama500 Of course not, but any dog with 'attitude' will put off a lot people who don't know dogs well. What the dog is showing is training and control. Anyone can teach a dog to bite. Teaching the "off" is a lot more work.

[bluegama500]

@nochance34 Really?Some people will actually get scared off by a little dog like that?And yeah i know,training "off" is alot harder.

[neshagirly1]

@bluegama500 I own a welsh Corgi and it's not pathetic is you get taken down by one. They can be quite vicious as they will attack you with quite a lot of power! you shouldn't under estimate them!

[bluegama500]

@neshagirly1 Lol what? They only go up to my ankles, what they going to do? Nibble my feet?

Even if they were strong they still can barely do anything because they are so short. They can't even reach high enough to do damage.

[Josherzx]

thanks

[bully725]

lady your using the wrong type of dog.....can't say I approve of this video...these are bullmastiffs NOT German Shepards...have to wonder your intentions.....It's people like you who are ruining these dogs rep....stop please! You really need to read up on bullmastiffs before training like this. And this is coming from a person who owned police K-9's.

[nochance34]

You seem to forget that the breed was developed as a protection dog and has very strong guard instincts.

Using your argument you shouldn't do scentwork or tracking....carting, etc. because that's not what are for. Bullmastiff's have titled in all those areas and many others.

As far a reading up on Bullmastiff's I'm always willing to learn....what should I read? I've recommended David Hancock's books for my point....have you read them?

[Josherzx]

@bully725 wth they are bred to do this german shepherds are bred to herd sheep, bullmastiffs should be used for this lol wth you talking about?

[Taud]

@bully725 wrong type of dog? oh man, thats hilarious, the mastiff mixes ive seen do fine on the bite sleeve protection bit, cant talk about tracking or anything else, but thats hilarious "wrong kind of dog" they accept almost all breeds now because they realized they were being stuck up, and a lot of mutts were better than their pure GSD

[Anvers2000]

The dog is trained to attack black people. :-D

[nochance34]

Correction, this dog was trained by a black person.

[Odhinn523]

I have worked BMs and they are not exactly suited for Schutzhund in a few areas, one being the rather mute quality, when barking is required, another being aggressive enough to maintain attention on the decoy (as seen in this vid), and if you DO make them that aggressively attentive--you ruin the purpose of the gentle breed.

[nochance34]

I absolutely agree. They are not particularly good at this. They don't have the inate aggressiveness to be good at it. They get that "OK...I took care of it, now it's your turn". attitude. They also work the sleeve very differently. They stay low, use their weight, especially in the rear to try to take down the agitator. Very different than the regular Schutzhund breeds.

I think the last paragraph of the description says it all....

[mgbrawl]

oh and what the person who posted this writes makes perfect sense, BMs were originally bandogges intended to take out poachers armed with knifes, guns and dogs themselfs. this would be imposible to do without biting, BMs do and WILL bite and disable intruders, they just might not kill them once disabled.

[mgbrawl]

do underestimate bullmastiffs, they are right up there in defensive ability as the rottweiler, pitbull, presa and canecorso etc. yet they have a temprement worthy of being your kids best friend :)

[OMNOMMOUSE]

4:34 ! :D

[Lien871]

It was very bad for the landowner`s reputation if a thief was bitten. I recommend to read the history of the bullmastiff.

They must HOLD the thiefs so they wouldn`t run away,

It would be much more logical if u used a shepherd. Those are the dogs that are bread for this work!

I never heard of Thorneywood Terror and to be honest I don`t really care. I agree with the bullmastiff breeders that I know... just don`t do bitework with a bullmastiff...

[nochance34]

I've never heard that....in fact, it was the Bullmastiff's job to take out (kill more than likely) the poachers dog and then help take out the poacher. The only concern was not to kill the guy so he could be tried in court and have public punishment. This business of holding thieves is mythology.

Thorneywood Terror was an early Bullmastiff that did demos at fairs. There was a reward if they could get away from him. He would take them down without biting...Of course, he was also muzzled.

[nochance34]

If you're going to look at the history of the breed, start with an honest one....I'd recommend the two books on the Bullmastiff by Col. David Hancock or the chapters on the breed in his book "The Mastiff's"

The main reason not to do bitework with a Bullmastiff is that few people are capable of doing the training. The people in that video are a couple of the ones that are . The first Bullmastiff in the video is one of two Bullmastiff's ever to get a Sch 1 title. The other was his sister.

[Lien871]

Bullmastiff`s shouldnt do bitework because they are bred to NOT bite, never! they are bred to put people on the ground WITHOUT biting. It`s ashame that some people ruin those years of selective breeding.

[nochance34]

You're probably thinking of some of the stories about the demonstrations made by a dog called Thorneywood Terror. But what you're saying simply isn't true. They were bred to take people down without killing them not without biting them. The gamekeepers didn't care if the poachers had a few bones broken or were torn up a bit. They just wanted them alive for trial.

In any case, this has nothing to do with selective breeding. What you're seeing is training and control at a very high level.

[sacredrage]

This is completely incorrect. They were bred not to maul - which is a very different thing than biting. Why all the concern about the squareness and depth of muzzle if biting wasn't a concern? It would be better if those of you who aren't experts kept your comments to yourself, rather than post inaccurate drivel.

[buba2isatosa]

@Lien871 please investigate the breed and why they were "breed" in the first place dont take your breeder pals or the short description in magazines as fact investigate the breed what did throw and hold mean? estates needed protection protection from the bm came in the form of throw and hold (bite work) throw is to take an intruder down by a limb hold is to stay latched to the limb until commanded to release! i agree the bm is not the best for bite work but without a doubt it is the grandfathe

[bluegama500]

a corgi?what is that gonna do,if it were to get in a fight with a person they will just kick it out of way.would a boxer make a good guard dog?i heard they are good guard dogs,and what about a livestock dog?

[gescolta]

I've been trying to see if anyone did bitework or protection training w/ bullmastiffs forever! It seems like this is a taboo amongst Bullmastiff breeders.. Whenever I try to talk to them (even the breeder t that I got mine from) they simply don't want to talk about it. Quite a shame becuase Estate guarding was the Birth of the Bullmastiff. Please send me a private message I would love to talk to you!

[sacredrage]

@gescolta

Mona Lindau-Webb is the woman you want to talk to. Google her.

[gescolta]

Thank you so much! Finally a step in the right direction!

[sdslancs]

Great video! Thanks for posting this.

I'm thinking a lot of what you write, goes for many 'mastiff' types? I'm getting a Bullmastiff puppy in a couple of weeks and have a 4 year old Great Dane female, who's super protective. Haven't done any real training, but after watching your vid, will be looking into it for both my dogs.

[userms3]

It's funny that the bad guy is black

[nochance34]

Pure coincidence. He's a respected protection dog trainer. If you watch his moves, he's dealing with each dog in exactly the right way to get the best performance from them.
