The amount of options you have for training depends most on the area you live and the distance you're willing to travel.

I know some who have done training through Petco/Petsmart;
some were happy with it and some weren't but most agreed that the services they offer are best for puppy training classes.

Try checking the yellow pages in the phone book. Call around and check out the rates. Be sure to ask questions such as how many training sessions are included for the price they quote you, how long each session is and if it's group or one-on-one training. One on one training always costs more but your time with the trainer is more well-spent since it's just you, your dog and the trainer. However, working in groups allows your dog to become better socialized with other dogs, so whether you would want group or one-on-one training depends on what you want to accomplish. Make sure to also compare how long each training session is.

For instance, if one trainer is offering a 6 week course where each training session is one hour for 120 dollars total and another trainer is offering an 8 week long course where each session is 30 minutes for 80 dollars, the first trainer is actually cheaper in the long run. So be sure to compare those things as well.

Once you have the prices figured out, google the training center or the persons name to see if you can find any reviews on them or further information. You don't want to go by price alone when looking for a dog trainer.

Good luck to you and your Mastiff! =)

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/ZN0Vs

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Typical mastiff. First get a harness and/or a gentle lead (goes around snout too) then get yourself a copy of "Puppies (dogs) for Dummies". An excellent, inexpensive training book that is easy to follow. Email me and I will add you dog to mastifss360.com

Good trainers aren't cheap. You get what you pay for. Find one that uses positive reinforcement.

Look for a UKC or AKC affilliated training club in your area.
