Ok, so she is almost 6 months old, & is still having accidents in the house almost everyday. I take her out usually every hour, sometimes two. It's almost like she is doing it out of spite. She seems to dislike my son, and every chance she gets, she will poop on his bed and even snap at him. I don't know if maybe I am doing something wrong or what. All the research I've done says that they are very laid back dogs which she is most of the time. Is this still the puppy in her? Or should she be broken of her bad habits by now? Please help, I don't want to have to get rid of her.

How old is your son, and is it possible that he is jealous of the dog and is hurting her behind your back????????????
No English Mastiff I have known has ever shown those Characteristics unless provoked!!!!!!!!! Sorry, check your child, not your dog!
I know it sounds awful, sorry.sorry.

Mostly just still a puppy. I had a Bullmastiff, took here a year to grow up. Although she was housebroken at 6 months.

She is still very much a puppy. I would monitor her more closely and when I couldn't crate her. Make sure you praise her when she does go potty outside and scold her when she goes in the house.

sorry to say you got a mastiff who was probably from a ***** who had too many litters or the puppy is a result of imbreeding. I know mastiffs I had one they are very loving,affectionate, loyal and wouldn't hurt a fly unless it was provoked
good luck contact a animal behaviorlist soon
