more than likely, you need to quit being so worried and Sheepish. your energy is more than likely the problem and with a mastiff, if you don't have the boldness and confidence, then he will. and you wont like the results.
you don't need to put him in PPE. you need to watch the dog whisperer
I'm not so convinced that it's me giving off scared vibes, but I figured if it is then I'd be a heck of a lot more confident if I know my dog won't get injured. I've watched Cesar and my pup definitely knows his place in the pack (right at the bottom, even beneath my other dogs) and he's fine when the other dog is under control, but some dogs just run at him with attack in mind.
One time he was following behind my friend chasing a toy as we walked and a dog on lead just went at him, totally unprovoked as he was focused on his toy. Another time some stupid woman passed us but then let her dog run up behind us and jump on him (we didn't even notice the dog was coming back till it was on him) and the last time the dog just ran straight in for attack.
My Apologies
