#13 The Neapolitan Mastiff treats children well, but given their awkwardness and size, it is better not to leave small children alone.
These dogs are intelligent and observant, even if at first glance they do not seem so. Mastino can doze in the shade in the yard, but at the same time know everything that is happening around him, and his slowness will instantly disappear as soon as he senses the real danger to loved ones.
#14 The Neapolitan Mastiff breed lends itself well to training and education, although sometimes this requires additional time, since it does not always quickly learn commands.
Although, this is not absolute. The owner must be firm and, preferably, have experience in keeping dogs of large breeds. After all, if you feel fear and indecision towards your pet, he will feel it, and, possibly, will try to dominate in the circle of his family, since in his dog's brain the family is still a pack. Or something like that.
#15 It is important that classes are held on schedule, without interruption, consistently and persistently.
You need to maintain an even frame of mind, have a good sense of humor, a positive attitude, pockets full of goodies, and patience. It is imperative to learn the basic commands and to achieve complete obedience on the part of the dog so that it can carry out the command regardless of any sounds or smells surrounding it. In addition, emphasis can be placed on training the qualities of a protector and guard-guard, since the dog is initially predisposed to perform such functions.
