How to Train your TRANSMONTANO MASTIFF

Training Your Transmontano Mastiff

The Cão de Gado Transmontano is an incredibly massive, tremendously powerful livestock guardian. They are fiercely protective, highly independent, and deeply loyal.

Key Training Tips:

• Early Leash Manners: They will easily surpass 160 lbs. You absolutely must teach them flawless loose-leash walking while they are young and manageable.
• Expert Leadership Required: They do not take orders easily and view themselves as the alpha. You must be an incredibly calm, confident, and dominant leader.

They are serious, highly protective working dogs that require vast open spaces and massive socialization.
