Napoletano is dog like every other dominant breed dog. It accepts dominant, consistent owner for own master! Breed is explicitly thinking ( always self takes time, that thinks if will be pleased to your wish round fulfilment of order or no! ), extraordinarily intelligent ( astonishingly quickly teaches of thing, that are her to benefit! ) and quickly thinks, how he must adapt himself to his caretaker for fulfilment of his demands.

Mastino could adapts to you for gratification of own existence of years and he is flying, he is accepting your rules of play,... but when he decides once, that he was askings of your conditions »of play« too much, it could be dangerous ( Here above all think on physical punishings like it was a puppy. ) If occurs this, mastino no will be thinking concerning own »next» to life, he just will take steps for all back and regardless of all consequences of their action. That is why for neo recommend solely »softly« education, without blows and birches of physical constraint. Rather use of resolute, loud words concerning your physical movements. Mastino must be and to feel as component part of family, in which lives.

It must to know , from puppy of distance, his rights and duties in family are something. All rights, that he has them, are let deserves! What do I think below this? example:dog is hungry, it jumping around, screeching, barking, rising up for you,... when you are preparing him food. And you give him food quickly. Mistake! Before kitchenware ask of purrings, demand, that doggy at least little seconds stops and waits sits. Food deserved in this way round his thinking, you confirmed your hegemony above him ( leader of pack rules sometimes bo who eaten!). This is excellent exercise from first day, when we bring pup at home. Equal, analogous manner can build all basic exercises. This is conditional knowing, that he has initial shape – motive, trace wished knowing then – condition ( order and realization of order ) and conclusion – gratification of need. 

EDUCATION

Definitely, at education is difference, or are beside new family member – neo, decided to have also top guard of our property and us, or we decided to have only too magnificently  toy, that her will be admiring neighbours, bystander and eventual buyers descendants our dog.

Education is explicitly important for every dog. Manner means behaviours of home and in urban environment. Suitability of behaviour and confirmation educated dog be let in next years ( source: Specialist council Cynologic union of Slovenia - conclusion of partial chorus of judges for work with 3.9.2003 ) proved all owners of dogs, regardless of breed. Evidence let bi was confirmation concerning finished BH examination. None am not wanting conviction, let this takes examination, as long as legally is not demanded. I dare to claim considering own experiences, that you will be next to well-mannered puppy ( inappropriately more easily is to abolish of educational mistake at pup as at adult dog! ) also next to eventual later schooling or any unpredictable situations had considerably less problems. It grew up, badly grown mastino you easily to figure round edge! Least which you can occurs is, that against what kind of your demand grows numb and he is waiting and he is waiting ( heck well be aware of, that you can't move his mass forcibly ), paragraph is intermediate, that he is looking threateningly next to your insisting and he growls ( in this instance just take steps for own judgment, you entrust your dog with dependent colic! I don't recommend physical contact!), in worst instance, if still you insist at own and neo at own, he will jump off against you. You caused such mutual distrust in this instance, that you will be saving him from also few months gradually next to professional help.

Of course, you could do easily, simpler way, education »without education«, so that dog is left to education of street, of neighbours and of bystanders. such dog, also mastino, they most probably will be endangering other dogs and people never, also guard of you and your property will be never. It will be mildly said good-natured village vagabond. In this instance you don't need mastino, go rather to rescue! We dared such education alone never! Mastino is large dog and for many people unusual, terrible looks, that is why we have our dogs solely in fenced yard always on halter. We don't allow dogs contact with bystanders, if they don't express this wish alone. We don't allow them play with other dogs as well, if we don't agree upon this with owner preliminarily. We are afraid namely, that I would hurt other dog with his mass unintentionally.

SCHOOLING

I separated word purposefully »education« from word »schooling«, because we are educating puppy from day, when we bring him home. We start to schooling dog, that it matured psychically this much, that it is capable of realizing exercises, that we show him them and ittDog for execution of our orders needs explicitly high concentration and motivation, also genetic design is important. When we decide for schooling once, we must know, that this isn't short-lived cycle, but schooling through all his life! When dog works once, he must work always! Why? That is why he started to use his genetic designs with schooling and them to develop. His instincts came on out ( at neo explicitly developed defensive instinct ).

If you don't want to evoke his primal instincts, we recommend, that you don't uproot with dominant dog for prey never ( e.g. rope, stick,.... ) and him never aren't encouraging to protecting of his territory. Suppress him all his dominanco already corner to puppy. 

Majority of commercial mastino breeders describes neo like a breed, that he doesn't need working examination and like a of dog solely of companion. They warn against also schooling, forby basic obedience. Only these are using males and solitary confinements for breeding mostly, that they are getting highest prizes on beauty shows competitions, although such breeding combinations aren't guarantee for quality descendants, because on exhibitions isn't checking state of health of dogs and character, but just and only beauty. Breeding must to be based upon on health factor and to test of character, of course in accordance with visual standard of dog. 

We defend mastina as bodyguard ( dog protector us and our possessions ) and so them also grow!  

Nataša:« Farther when I was realizing breed, more me intrigued to test of ability of schooling mastino.« As am already written down on presentation own first mastino Mefista, I bought breed solely because of attractive appearance. I started to look at dog otherwise after purchase, I was realizing his character gradually, his reactions,... that is why I was trying to gain as many as possible informations concerning history of breed from available literature, to intention, she was created for something. And....... become am be addicted to with breed.... that, with ancient character, that, that it was companion and protector also for price of own life. And of autumn 2004, when are to our home comming puppies of Mars, doughter Argenta and son Api, decision fell round carefully asked plan:«Go to school!« And this no in usually elementarily dog school, but in individually, where dog coach on will for all will be our our questions and it will be adapting programme and manner of work to abilities of breed.

Why this selection? We wish to test, what can do maximum motivated healthy Naples mastiff !

it just will be guidable anywhere and at any time!
