“Hi Tom, I’ve been soaking up your content since I found you on YouTube a couple years ago and recently started listening to your podcast a few months ago. Your training tips have helped build up my relationships with my dogs so much!
I also wanted to say I’m so excited to watch your journey with “little” Burleigh! My husband and I just purchased our second Tibetan mastiff puppy after recently and unexpectedly losing our first TM. It’s my understanding that TMs and Boerboels have similar temperaments, so I can’t wait to watch how you work and train with Burleigh.
My question is, since conventional methods aren’t usually effective with a TM, do you have any tips or tricks to get our obedience better with the new puppy? Our first was a female that we got when she was 7 months old, she wasn’t very well socialized and was pretty reactive. She turned out to be an amazing family dog and we were finally starting to see some obedience progress when we sadly lost her right before she turned 2 years old due to a suspected congenital issue. I feel like since she died so young we didn’t get to fully go through the typical personality changes when a dog hits maturity, since all research we did says TMs typically don’t mature until 3-4. Our new puppy is a male and currently 3 months old, I’m just trying to find out what improvements we can make to get our obedience better this time around. We also have a 6 month old male Akita puppy in the house and I really just want to make sure we keep both boys on their P’s and Q’s to avoid potential drama.
Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing your feedback and watching more of you and Burleigh!”
