If you are considering adding a Cane Corso to your life, there are important guidelines and requirements you need to possess. While these requirements seem strict or a nuisance to some remember not every Breed of Dog nor the Cane Corso is the breed for you.

1.) Cane Corso is a dominant breed and is not for the first-time dog owner, not to say some first-time owner cannot handle them but it is a lifestyle of training, socialization and not treating this breed as a lap dog with no manners. Cane Corso need a confident, assertive owner that understands pack hierarchy. This breed can exhibit a bossy, stubborn, even aggressive behavior at times when growing up, Owner would need to understand how to read and correct this behavior with positive reinforcement, as well a “Stern” correction at some point drawing lines to set boundaries and make these corrections without hesitation. “Bad Behavior is Not Cute, Dogs become larger/Stronger turning cute bad behavior into something Worst.”

2.) Corso needs outdoor play time with proper secure 6-foot-high, heavy duty fenced in barrier area for containment that is not accessible to anyone out of the family. Corso should not be left outside unsupervised in a non-contained area Corso are guardian breed “Electric fences Do Not Work”, this protects the dog from accidental contact or unpleasant incidences. This breed is not made for apartment or small confinement living, leaving a Corso crated in the house all day creates health and temperament problems and should be avoided. Whoever a puppy should be crated to avoid destructive behavior, assist Potty training, etc.

3.) Corso require a tremendous amount of socialization, training, desensitization, potential owners must be able to dedicate taking the puppy out with them to train and social two or three times a week. Puppies should be able to be touched and around small children, different animals, “AVOID DOG PARKS”, Corso will still be able to guard homes being social dogs that are not properly raised can and will become fearful.

4.) Family involvement with up close and personal to build a solid bond with their family, “This breed is not a Lone wolf breed needs and desires to have contact with their family”. If the owner is gone more than 10- hours a day for work, most of the week the Corso is probably not the right breed for you.

5.) Corso are indoor dogs, Corso should not be isolated. They earned the name velcro dog!

6.) Corso should be raised one puppy at a time to build relationship with their owners, and not the other fur sibling in the house, Older dogs in the house is fine. When Corso is too independent and bonds with another puppy and not the owner’s, the situation is disastrous, they become less obedient and complaint to their owners. (Should be a minimum of 8 months between ages, and never more than 2 dogs loose together unsupervised, nor have an intact female with two males loose in the home unsupervised.

7.) Anyone considering adding a Corso in their family needs to commit to a life-long commitment to ownership (If you are moving and cannot take the dog move somewhere else, your dog is a part of your family! I highly doubt you would leave a child behind for any situation), Corso are extremely devoted to their owners and do not transfer well they can become depressed causing an unstable place in their life. If you are in the military and have a chance to be deployed, please wait to buy a puppy until you return without a chance to be deployed.

8.) Corsos should never be purchased based on Color!!! It does not play a factor in determining what puppy best suits your family.

9.) You should never leave Children unsupervised in the home with your Corso, Clients with children need to set boundaries starting when at an early age of life throughout. Owner must be willing to spend the time and be consistent to ensure the relationship between puppy and children are correct.

10.) Training is a MUST!!! start off early puppy kindergarten (You cannot recreate smells, sounds, people, or other enviroments in your home puppy training should be enforced at all time but it is essential to go out and train as well). Corso should be under control at all times this is a large powerful breed. Owner needs to be able to set aside time to personally take puppy to classes for socialization and training. Boarding training are not ideal for a Corso due to the bond that needs to be made with owner, Corso need to learn to obey and bond with you not your trainer.

11.) Corsos Are Not Cheap!!! Anyone considering purchasing a Corso should realize that it is not inexpensive to buy top quality food, supplements, vet care, medication is higher due to weight, secure containment either fencing or secure crates, training for your dog. Buyer should be financially stable with sufficient disposable income before considering this breed.
