Eventhough described as strong and imposing, gaining good outcome from Cane Corso training may not be too challenging due to the fact that this breed is known to be extremely intelligent and very trainable. In addition, they have that great desire to please their owners so motivating them to obey commands using praise as reward is not actually a problem. But as we all know, dogs, inspite of their intelligence or capability to learn, do not figure out commands on their own. They need their owner's guidance for them to become obedient as well as healthy and happy. As a result, training should be provided as early as possible to ensure that good values will be inculcated into their young minds.
Before the actual training begins, owners or future owners ought to know more concerning the breed first - personality, care and grooming needs, training as well as health issues. By knowing such info, it would be convenient for the owner to decide what Cane Corso training methods to use, how to deal with the pet when problems arise and what activities to include or avoid when training.
Aside from being robust and imposing, this breed is also extremely suspicious of strangers and might display aggressive behavior if it feels threatened. If this behavior is permitted or left not fixed, it could lead into a habit that can be difficult to get rid of. To prevent this problem, Cane Corso puppies ought to be socialized appropriately to avoid them from considering a lot of things as strangers. These things include but not restricted to sound of siren, firetruck and phone, people, cars as well as other vehicles passing by, delivery men and loud neighbors.
One remarkable characteristic of this breed is the close bond it forms with the owner and the instinct to protect their family if danger is at hand. To them, there is nothing better than pleasing their owners and being by their side all the time. This trait can be used to get the dog to follow several commands like down, sit and stay as well as correct undesirable behavior such as biting, jumping and chewing. To get the most out of this characteristic, an owner will only have to praise and spend time with his pet for every good response and pay no attention to it to discourage unwanted behaviors like the ones pointed out.
Another fact an owner needs to remember is the breed's high tolerance to pain. The use of electrical invisible fence can be ineffective to some so other techniques to prevent vanishing acts must be taken into account. But this attribute shouldn't be used as an excuse to punish them physically since hitting the dog with a folded paper, rubbing the nose on the dirt or crating them for longer periods of time without food and toilet break will do them no good.
