About this listen
In the final instalment of our breed recommendation series on The Dog People Podcast, Jack and professional trainer Max O’Neil tackle the best large dog breeds for first-time owners. While big dogs can seem intimidating at first glance, many are surprisingly gentle, affectionate, and easygoing—making them a fantastic choice for new dog parents.
Max breaks down which large breeds are beginner-friendly, diving into their personalities, training needs, energy levels, and whether they’re suited for family life, solo owners, or first-timers with space to spare. From the famously calm to the loyal protectors with soft hearts, we shine a light on the breeds that prove bigger can definitely be better—as long as you’re prepared.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a large dog but weren’t sure where to start, this episode will help you make an informed, confident choice. Don’t miss this thoughtful and practical guide to choosing your very own gentle giant.
