English Mastiff - Beginning off leash obedience dog training

[obese1konobe]

Great clip. Dogs behaviour is a function of the time and effort taken by its owner. I know dogs who will not eat or even poop without permission. Beautiful dog. Thanks

how did you get your dog to stay by you with out a leash??

[Goodness250]

Nice job!  I'm impressed.

[Punk4Life408]

this is cool but this is to big of a dog to walk without a leash

[cellodax88]

Good job, very well trained! How old is the beauty?

I just recently rescued an English Mastiff from an organization. He was abused as a puppy. But he is now a healthy and happy 255 Pound 7 year old.

them are some smart fighting dogs I love the mastiff breeds

[felicianomusic]

@TheGameBreedPit english mastiffs are not generally fighting dogs anymore they're big sweet babies

[katanakris]

My god, someone watches that video and they get from it that your pup is laying on the road. My dogs will lay where i tell them to. I train in an empty parking lot,as I live on a busy street. The same pave as the street, in texture, apear. etc. R mine safe cuz they're not taught on a road and yours is headed for trouble.. HHMMM sounds like the green eyed monster has once again reared his ugly head. (IMHO)

btw, Very nicely done friend! He has a well trained human ! ;)

[ThunderSurge]

How old is he. I though Mastiffs had bigger heads and flappier skin aroung the mouth.

[klaudiaNR1usa]

it depends on the age, that it;s a puppy for sure. My English Mastiff it's 9 months old, and 130Lb, but the way they grow it;s like this: THe first 3 years they grow hight wise and the 4th year they fill in. So at the age of 4 an english mastiff it;s considered full grown!

[Molly7788]

Very well trained!

[communicanine]

Yes, I do use an ecollar. It is a very subtle way of training, though, and a bit too detailed to get into on a post. Have you ever worked with someone with an ecollar?

[mhn67]

Listen to people complain that your dog is in the road,why do they care it's obvious that he will go where you tell him. I smell some bitter grapes my guess from their own wild out of control dogs...keep on.. mhn67

[abcgoldens]

you are hired

[timbo69b]

Very nice dog & well trained - Congratulations.

But Why are you doing it on a road !

Why not in a park, or your yard?

I would NEVER teach my dog to lay down on a road - that is simply asking for trouble (IMHO)

[communicanine]

No, it's not asking for trouble. A well trained dog will obey wherever he happens to be. I don't see how it could be asking for trouble, its not like I have him lie down and then leave him there.

[RupertBirkin]

Exactly, whatever your method it works! Anyway if he was lying on the road it's not as you won't see him! And if anyone did hit him, who do you think will come off worse? The truck or the dog? lol!

[roanne9145]

Great video but how did you get to this point? How did you teach it. would love to see that.

[communicanine]

Sorry, can't post hours of training video. It takes a while to get a dog to this point and it isn't practical to tape all that.

[geffrod]

and one hell of a montage.

*insert bad ass music*

[Goodness250]

@communicanine - Nice job! I'm very impressed. However, I have to agree with timbo69b; I would teach my dog to never hang out in a street. You can't guarantee that someone will always be with him to make him obey. Is a shock collar the method usually used for training large dogs? Thanks for your info.

[clouse222]

How old is this mastiff?

[grimace560]

Did you train him yourself?
