To begin with, use all of your resources, whether it's friends with well-trained bullmastiffs, your bullmastiff's veterinarian, bullmastiff magazines or the internet. The more sources of information you have, the better off you'll be.
The basenji could really be considered more like a cat than a dog. Not only is it the only breed of dog that does not bark, but is also a meticulous cleaner. Unlike other dogs, the basenji actually licks itself clean, just like a cat!
Once you've compiled a list of possible bullmastiff trainers, the next step is to contact them to set up interviews. If possible, bring your bullmastiff to the interviews with you. You want the interview to be a question and answer session, not your bullmastiff's first training lesson, but having your bullmastiff at the interview can give you a feel for how your bullmastiff and trainer will get along together.
While adult dalmations are covered in cute black spots, dalmation puppies are actually born solid white. Their spots don't show up until they are at least a week old. Sometimes not until they are a month old.
During the interviews, don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask the potential trainers about their training methods, how they deal with problems such as bullmastiff aggression, how long they've been training bullmastiffs and anything else that you feel the need to ask. Be sure to pay attention to not only their answers, but also their body language and the tone of their voices. After all, it's just as important that your bullmastiff's trainer get along with you as it is that they get along with your bullmastiff.

Most adult Borzoi (russian wolfhounds) are almost mute. They bark only very rarely. They are gentle, sensitive dogs with gracious house-manners and a natural respect for humans. Their quiet nature makes them an ideal pet for families with children.
In short, finding a good bullmastiff trainer depends on many things. There is no clear right or wrong answer. If you do your research and follow your instincts you should find a great trainer to suit your needs. However, even after you've chosen a trainer, don't be afraid to ask about things that you don't understand, question techniques or ask for a second opinion. You and your bullmastiff will be glad that you did.
