The most important thing to remember is a Corso needs to have a family unit that is confident. .

Most of the puppy’s understanding of pack order is communicated to him in subtle ways from the rest of the family unit. (pack) Boundaries are very important. It’s Ok to love and snug our dogs, but we should not cater to them and make them think they are a King.

The Cane Corso is "intelligent, active and even-minded. He is an unequalled watch and protection dog. Docile and affectionate with the owner, loving with children and with the family. If necessary he becomes a brave protector of people, house and property.  He is easily trained.

Their desire is to be with the family and do best living indoors as long as sufficient exercise is provided. Though they are tolerable of most weather conditions, they cannot tolerate solitude. Isolating the Cane Corso can lead to nuisance barking, destructive behavior and other temperament problems.


90% of ALL “temperament/ behavioral” issues in the Corso were created and fostered by the owner.

Start early, stay consistent!
