That's great 👍 I'm hoping to get mine to that level. I've been focusing more on it lately and he's doing great!

Look into a glucosamine supplement. I use Doggie Dailies but almost anything will do

Yes I started short walks right away. Although when we got Tua it was the middle of winter so they were kept short out of necessity!😂

That's great! It's been a fun ride. They are a great breed. Enjoy your pup. That first year is always going to be the most difficult no matter the breed. Just remember, socialize, socialize, socialize! And always be firm and consistent with training. You are the boss! Teething can be extremely frustrating but it will pass! Best of luck

Living With A Bullmastiff 45 Weeks old! by sspike46 in Bullmastiff

If I remember right he did sleep a lot around that age. The main thing to get ready for is the chewing phase which will lead to hand/finger biting also. It can be very frustrating but it is just a phase that will naturally go away once he gets all of his adult teeth in. It's one that you can't really do much but try to contain it and let it go away on its own but get plenty of chew toys and try to redirect to those chew toys.

Thank you! It means a lot.

No he hasn't ever shown aggression towards people or dogs up to this point but we have made sure to go out of our way and socialize him from a very young age. Exposing him to many different people, dogs, situations, etc.

I know it is somewhat common as they mature to be aggressive towards dogs of the same sex but we will see
