How to Train your FILA BRASILEIRO

Training Your Fila Brasileiro

The Fila Brasileiro (Brazilian Mastiff) is a massive, incredibly powerful tracking and guarding dog. They are famously loyal but possess an intense, natural aversion to strangers.

Key Training Tips:

• Expert Handling Only: They are fiercely protective and highly dominant. You must be an incredibly calm, supremely confident, and experienced leader.
• Massive Socialization: Their guarding instinct is profound. Without massive early socialization, they will view all strangers as deadly threats.

They are deeply devoted to their families but are highly dangerous in the hands of an inexperienced owner.
