It doesn't matter whether you have an English Mastiff, Tibetan Mastiff, or Neo-Polean Mastiff; they are considered champions in growth among dogs. So, you must teach your Mastiff the following commands.

#1 A place!

The first command to learn if the puppy lives in the apartment is "Place!". The command is positive, its place for the puppy is the territory on which he should feel safe. Therefore, after a game or food, wherever the baby goes to bed, he must be carefully carried to his couch, repeating the command several times in a firm, but gentle voice. The Tibetan Mastiff is well trained, as they are distinguished by high intelligence and quick wits. Therefore, the puppy is accustomed to the place after several days in a new house.

#3 Walk!

The second command is "Walk!". When gathering with a puppy on the street, putting a collar on it, and fastening the leash, you need to repeat the command in a positive manner, in an even voice. After 2-3 lessons, the puppy will be happy to wait for a walk after the spoken command, realizing what is at stake. Performs the Tibetan Mastiff of the team willingly, but does not like their frequent repetition, so you should try not to fix the lesson more than 2-3 times in one lesson.

#5 Sit!

The Sit command is unlearned at home, with a treat in hand. It is very simple to assimilate, you just need to slowly bring your hand with food over the dog’s head, and with your other hand, slightly press its croup, repeating the order in a commanding voice. As soon as the puppy sits down, praise him and give the treat.

#7 To me!

The "To me!" command is very important. It is necessary to fix it in the first walks. First, they do this, not letting the puppy off the leash, but only letting it go freely, and then, quietly supporting it, they call the dog, showing a treat. You cannot punish a dog by calling it a command, even if it is to blame for something.

#9 Give

So, how to teach a dog the command "Give"? Most likely, your dog knows how and loves to play tug of war. So wait until the dog is busy with the game, go up to it, wave it with a rope (or another toy), and when the dog clings to it, strictly say “Give!”. As soon as the dog returns the cord, praise her very actively and immediately return it. Please note that it is very important to return the item immediately.

#11 Aport

Find a quiet place, take the dog on a leash, and put it in the “close” position. Put the leash in your left hand, and take an object in your right hand and offer it to the dog. As an object, you can use a stick, an old glove or any other thing that the dog will be pleased to hold. Do not use food, toys, and objects with long fur. Tease the dog with a thing, and when she wants to grab the object, say “Aport!” And allow it to be done. Once the dog grabs the item, sincerely praise it and repeat the command.

#13 Beside

Take your dog on a leash and start moving forward. Give the command “Near” and pull the leash to force the dog to take the desired position. Take her in this position for several steps, then loosen the leash. If your pet continues to walk nearby, actively praise it. During the movement, it is better not to give a treat, as this can knock down the dog and it will stop. If the pet does not obey (goes to the side or forward), repeat the command again and pull it up with a leash. Pull gently without anger or jerking. At the beginning of training, move in a straight line and at the same speed.
