The first time you see your mastiff bow up at somebody you will be afraid, you will think that poor SOB is dead, but your mastiff will just stand there, looking like the pics in the books, making sure you are OK. Though usually if you are around then everybody is their friend, children are friends without exception. If they do not think you are around though then they bark and hold their ground, bark and hold there ground. The first time you surpise your mastiff in the dark before they know who you are you and they let out their real bark you will think you are going to die, you will shit brix, you will say a prayer with your dying breath...but they will just bark and hold thei ground, then when they realize who you are they will feel SO ashamed and sad and want cuddles for awhile cuase they didn't mean to scare you they was just doing their job.
For being so sensitive and understanding, Athena is as dumb as a fucking box of hammers, we crate trained her and it took 3 months before she finally stopped laying massive shits on the floor, it took our lab a week. She will sit, and stay, and knows when you want her off the bed or sofa or to go to her crate or outside..but it took forever. I saw a list of the number of times it took of a command to train the various breeds of dogs..dobemans, herding dogs where all at the top, the english mastiff was like 2nd to last at 200 times it took for a command to be understood. Fucking dumb, but that makes you love them even more. That said , the local Petsmart trainer owns a male that she runs her classes with, and that dog makes a field trail labrodor look like a wild coyote, but he's an excepetion I'm pretty sure.
tl;dr: DO IT FAGGOT!!!
