Cane Corso Socialization
| Most of what we know, we learned first hand. Our Corsos started off as confident independent puppies and we never had to encourage socialization. Both of our Corsos loved people and other animals from the start. As you can see from the pictures, they bonded with our other family members with no problems at all. Even today, our cat Suki can eat out of my male Corso's bowl (with him) at feeding time. It's not the same for my female, she won't share her feeding space with other animals, but any person or child can stick their hands into that bowl and she would not protest in the least. We will continue the same interactions with the puppies when they arrive and they too will be socialized from the beginning. |

Obedience classes are a must and constant interaction with un-met friends has to be priority. These dogs if left alone to fend for themselves, will adapt very easily, but you won't have the ability to leave your dogs unattended with strangers. The Corso bonds very tightly with their owners and if given the choice they would never want to be alone. That's why it is so important to give love as well as correction in these dogs lives. Corsos like most animals that live in the wild, learn through the pack mentality. The animal will eventually try to take over the highest position within the group/pack and rule accordingly. The Corso can and will take over if you do not teach him/her their proper place in the family.
They can only learn to decipher safety and concern through ongoing experiences with the outside world. The time you invest in your Corsos will show in the ring, in the streets and in your home. A Corso can be and should be a trusted companion in all situations. |
