Tibetan Mastiffs are huge dogs that are docile and natural protectors. Being affectionate, they make wonderful companions but it is important that owners make a firm first step in training them because they can be dangerous due to their large size. Owners must establish their dominance as pack leaders. It may sound cruel but they may have to decline and say NO when the dog wishes to jump on them demanding affection. Let them sleep on the floor while owners are on the bed.

Once this is done and the dog knows who the boss is, then training would be less difficult. Next would be socialization by introducing them to different environments and people however it is not a good idea to force them to be affectionate to people. This takes time. Obedience training should follow and if needed, get some advice for experts. It is also a good idea to get a collar that is snug around the neck but loose enough to put a few fingers through to allow owners to pull on it if they start to get out of hand.

The Tibetan Mastiff is an ancient breed native to Tibet. They were bred with the primal instinct to survive the freezing cold in the mountains. Being humungous in size, it would take a whole lot of food to sustain their nutritional needs. The Tibetan Mastiff goes by several names. One name is the “Do-khyi” which translates to “tied dog”. This refers to the breed that is placed on guard duty to protect the home from intruders.

They are not necessarily “tied” or leashed but are let loose to roam the grounds in the evenings. In Nepali they are called “Bhote Kukur” and in Madarin, “Zang ‘Ao”. Both are direct translations of Tibetan Mastiff. Known as the “Bankhar” in Mongolia, they are prized for their ferocious guard dog abilities. There is also the name “Tsang-khyi” meaning that the particular breed is from Tsang. This breed is considered to be the true Tibetan Mastiff.
