Every dog needs to be trained and Bullmastiff is of no exception. First of all, the matter is in Bullmastiff obedience training. Such a huge and powerful dog should run the owner's commands in full obedience to avoid any unpredictable situations.
Bullmastiffs are quickly and easily trained. They are ready-witted to understand and to remember the commands they need to run. Bullmastiff may be a bit stubborn, f.e. when it prefers to walk a little behind the owner and not nearby that falls short of the rules.
Excessive playfulness and curiosity may distract Bullmastiff puppy at first training stage. But it is easy to overcome these nuances. Bullmastiff is eager to understand what the owner wants and to do this quickly, getting then a treat and praise.
Bullmastiff can frighten away a potential enemy with its menacing look. But sometimes large size and daunting look don't scare a stranger, that is why Bullmastiff should also pass guard dog training course.
Bullmastiff should be able to protect you. Moreover, it should do this skillfully, dexterously, fearlessly and securely regardless of what enemy the dog is faced. All these qualities will be a result of Bullmastiff training, which should be based on the breed potential.
Here is also another kind of Bullmastiff training, which should be mentioned. This is dog show ring training. The training course means also classes with professional Bullmastiff trainer or handler.
The dog has to move (to trot out as usual) front and back or in the direction a judge shows on the ring. Then the dog has to stand still in a stack so that expert could examine it thoroughly.
Rings and shows allow pedigree breeding.
According to the requirements for show dogs, Bullmastiff should obey the expert on the ring, allow examining (and even touching) itself that is almost unacceptable for any guard dog. This means, Bullmastiff should be trained for these procedures. The dog should mover confidently and showy on the ring, to stand still in a stack, allowing the expert to look it over as well as possible to make correct and quality description.
Moreover, Bullmastiff should be trained to pass the procedure of mouth checkup. The owner or handler does this as a rule by the expert's preference. This is not only because the dog can't stand for a stranger, but also because some of dogs may be ill and the judge can infect the other four-legged participants.
