CANE CORSO! 5 Reasons you SHOULD NOT GET A Cane Corso Puppy! 

Excellent video. Back in the mid 1980s I owned a Neapolitan Mastiff. Both his parents were imports from Italy. He was a wonderful dog with many of the ancient instincts of the Molosus. I was raised with Newfoundlands when I was a kid. So I thought I had a good understanding of big breeds. But my Neo was a totally different experience. He was very sensitive and dependent on me. In turn he would protect me ferociously against anyone who I wouldn't acknowledge as a friend. He was a big commitment to train and it took me awhile to get it right. But he was my very best friend and wanted to be with me every minute of the day. I always took him on long walks and let him know who my friends were. He was a true friend and guardian. And I really miss him.

I wish I had known all this either before or at the time I fostered and then adopted a 16-month-old Rottie/Cane Corso saved from a kill shelter in Northern New Mexico. She is a big gentle giant who loves me with her whole big heart. She is also stubborn, willful and not easy to train. I fell in love with her not really knowing what she was. Unfortunately, I had recently been in 2 bad car crashes, (I was in my 60's, at the time) and when we started leash training, I found out I was too damaged to be strong enough to handle her. It seemed she had grown up in some kind of family, completely untrained, never been on a leash for a walk and then dumped in a kill shelter. I tried dog school a couple times and admitted defeat, not because she couldn't be trained, but because my physical state was so bad, she was too strong for me. I can't allow myself to be hurt any more than I am. I have had her 9 years so she is 10. She sleeps with me when she wants, loves my husband, is a little iffy with the smaller dog and no one comes in the yard when she is out. She is a mature 130 lbs. and very healthy. She is a big lazy girl who is a great companion and house dog. I don't fool myself about her capabilities, however. I am very careful when the rare other person comes to the house. She likes a couple of my women friends and is very affectionate with them, men not so much. If a tv guy or plumber comes, we go in our room with the door closed. Early on we had a dog fight when we had other foster dogs. She did not start it, but she ended it and the foster dog went to the dog hospital and to a new foster home. No more foster dogs. Maybe the rottweiler half mellowed her a bit, but she is a powerful girl. Looking back, even if had known, I would have saved her anyway. She loves me so much it is almost scary, and she guards me like I am the Queen of Spain or something. She is a once in a lifetime dog, at least for me. At my age, any future rescue dogs will be seniors. I wish it could have been different. I wish I would have gotten her before the car wrecks. She really is a magnificent friend, and she has been like no other dog in my life. Loved the video.

My corso is 13 years old and I have to admit the beginning through adolescents was very hard. Like, EXTREMELY hard! We even lost our mail/post service for a hole year because the carriers didn't want to come to our door. However, if you can stick it out and learn how to properly train your corso, I promise you will NEVER find a more loyal and loving best friend. I will never own another breed again! He's our families protecter, my kids playmate, and the only reason I survived my husband being away for a year! I love him like family!!! 💙

On point. Beautiful breed. Very stubborn, sensitive breed. Fearless , not for inexperience owners at all. I owned a rottweiler prior and this breed is double the size. You do not need to train this breed to guard. After 7 months he is shaping up to be a solid family member and guardian. They need to work, my boy Ryker walks along side my stroller.(we do free range bush hikes). They are made for pulling carts and working. Even tho he isnt pulling the stroller its his favorite thing to walk beside me/son , while keeping watch. He is the most gentle with my 2 year old son.

This video is spot on! The advice is real talk. I have had dogs all my life and owning a corso is a completely unique experience. I had to better understand the breed to be a good leader to her.

My cane corso turns 1 year in a week. He is the sweetest boy. It wasn't hard to train him. For me all the stuff people say is silly. His dad and brother are champions and he's 100 percent cane corso. They do drool,they fart alot and when they want to play getting him to stop wanting to play bite or jump down has been challenging. Other that that especially when we leave He listens so well. Especially outside. They dont like being out of your eyesight at all, He is a big baby and besides a deer or something running and his instincts kicking in. He is easy though. He's 131 pounds now with some more to grow.

Love the breed. Best dog I've ever owned. Not even close. They're calm, but constantly on patrol, and they absolutely love and protect children. That being said.. Cane Corsi is the proper plural form of the breed, not 'Cane Corsos.' And he's absolutely correct about the early life development with holding grudges. My 1.5 year old pup was attacked at a dogpark by a white pitbull, and to this day my 10 year old Cane Corso will not be around a white dog without trying to kill it.

Just got a corso two weeks ago .. I’ve had german shepherds, huskies, staffies.. some other dogs that could be considered “intense” breeds and all very intelligent… after only two weeks i have to admit that this puppy is different… something other. I can definitely say that i agree with the point that this breed is NOT for first time dog owners. I will also admit that i should have maybe picked a breed that is between the german shepherd and corso as you would be surprised at how much more strong minded the corso is. She comes to work with me daily and gets to meet new people every day. Puppy class with someone experienced with guardian breeds starts next week 😎

Most people I see walking a dog shouldn't even own any dog

I've had dogs mostly rescue and big breeds before but now have a cane corso who just turned one....im thrilled with him and he is by far the best dog ive had and goes everywhere with us including campervan trips to Europe.i want another one but my partner won't let me haha

I breed Corsi and agree with every word, through my own experience. I have a stable pack of 7 and train every day. Even just with random commands in the house. Pack order and boundaries is key. If you can do that they are the best breed ever.

My first dog is a cane corso and it was the best choice I have ever made …she’s is obedient she’s loyal , affectionate…. I absolutely trust her with puppies and little kids …. I guess i must of got lucky …. She is definitely a very strong dog

My husband and I were about to get a cane corso but I changed my mind about wanting a bigger dog since we have a small one already. But, after seeing this video I’m glad I changed my mind on getting one. Thank you!!

I dog sit a CC and it follows me everywhere! Its truly a loving adorable dog... and yes it needs stimulation. So I'm getting a puppy of my own in May 2021 and between now and then trying to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all your videos on all your channels and I'll be picking up the full training etc. package before the new year!! Take care and stay safe!! :)

I have 16 week old cane corso. He is my 1st dog on my own, but I have had family dogs who I trained myself. I chose him to be trained as a service dog because of the natural instinct to protect his people. I had Aussies then I fell for the corso personality, I love how easily he can read me!

My first dog was a Cane Corso pure breed he was very hard to train but I was very determined today he's 5 years old and he's the most loving and very protective dog I ever seen I would get another one I've learned a lot from him and I know he's learned a lot from me but I love him to death he listens very well but again I don't trust him because just who he is and I don't want him to hurt no One

I have a blue cane corso named Sativa and she is one of the best dogs I have ever owned she's so sweets and lovable definitely getting another when the time comes.

Yes we have 3 in the family so they always see each other. Each one can read off the other .. They are not labs .. Not poodles. Sensitive,protective .. Never for a first time dog owner. Over 40 yrs i raised wolf hybrids till 16 yrs old. Other large cross breeds , shepperds , rottie x .. Nice best friends 🐾🐾 Each dog was 130lbs or close to. The Cane Corso is so dedicated they protect you while your sleeping . Your not awake .. You want to be experienced or pay sad consequences .. Just my piece of thought by experience. ✌💖🐾🐾💖

I agree with everything he said my beautiful cc is the most loving, but protective dog I’ve ever owns. Intelligence and understands and obeys command. I’ve had many different dogs but my baby is ultimately the best dog I’ve owned!!

first time dog owner - got two cane corso they are 4 years old and very well behaved… but i spent close to 20k in training

This is funny cuz when I walked with my cane corso the other dogs are more aggressive than my dog even chihuahuas are really annoying but I think it depends on the person who trains him..

My Cane Corso is EVERYTHING he describes in this video. He has nailed this on the head... #truth #SmartMan #accurate

Just picked up our first cane corso she is amazing super smart. Her and our rottweiler do very well together she is only 8 weeks. I will be watching more I just hope you still post

I have 14 week old Cane corso female and it’s my third dog and my gfs first dog she’s with her 24/7 but training her to be alone and it almost feels in these videos that if we manage to work our way through this tough breed it’s a miracle lol ps love the videos were very consistent with training and she’s a very beautiful girl

Just got my 3month old Cane Corso x Wolfhound/Mastiff Female pup today, training and bonding has commenced immediately, and I have to say, going very well already... Keen to learn more always, will look into your course as well as the basic training i have always given my dogs (to great success always .. thankfully) She is obviously not a full blood Corso, but i am taking everything very seriously. anyway, thanks for the reality check / information

Hello from Mango and me, thanks for that Will, they are a wonderful breed, although I agree with you completely. Socialising and calm consistent leadership is required for this breed... Great job man.... Thank you 🙏

Thank you for your straight talk, it will save both human and canine a lot of grief…❤

I have worked with dogs since Ive been a teen, taught basic/moderate training and now I do so as my career--I think I'm ready to take on a Cane Corso for myself, but I'll likely still do training classes just to be on the safe side.

I agree.. this is a great honest video. I can’t stress enough that they need a-lot of stimulation training and confident owners that have researched the history of their function DNA and characteristics. Do understand they have their own body language and identity wired into them they can not be man handled or forced they are intuitive and intelligent and need their human. Their minds are by design strong and genetic.. they aren’t labs and time consuming they are higher maintenance with prey drive animals. You HAVE to put the work in! A spoiled CC can be just as dangerous. They aren’t fur babies dog children or babies.

Boy oh boy...sure wish I had stumbled on this video 21 months ago!!!!! But, would I have refused to take in my home and heart (THAT came much later!!) my wonderful male 167 pound, 21 month old Cane Corso????? Absolutely not. But, I certainly would have done things differently for both our benefits. It's time to put in the hard work now. Better late than never. Impossible is not a word in my vocabulary. Thanks for all this very accurate info, Will. Too bad Covid19 came around and I live in the boondocks in France; gonna have to do it all by myself but I have faith in Payback. I'm sure we will both be fine.....one day!

i own 2 Dobermans and I hear you talking about cane Corso but in my mind, you are telling the story of my life lol Dobermans are exactly as u described and I'm so glad the 3 of us doing great. I love your work man ..Cheers.

Will, I want to thank you. Even though this video is hard to hear it has helped me realize how much I am not ready to have a cane corso. It's a bitter pill to swallow but it helped me realize how much I am not experienced or ready at this time.

I have two they are AMAZING well trained and very intelligent dogs.

I've raised several massive pitbulls in my lifetime. One I'll never forget was a 120lb pitbull/bull mastiff mixed. His strength was intimidating. Dogs this size or higher are as strong as humans and in some cases stronger. Which is why the training must be extensive. You have to be careful not to minimize them while maintaining your leader status. Other than that I raised them like I raised my children.

Our Cane Corso just turned 8 months (yesterday 6-10 -2023 ) and oh my lordy! She's stubborn! Headstrong! Extremely smart! Extremely protective over her human little sisters,

Ok, this man is 1000000000% accurate on every single reason. I have the breed and every single thing he said is true. Be ready or don't get the breed.

My grandfather had six Caucasian Ovcharkas at the same time. He was a shepard with over 400 sheep and his dogs protected the sheep out in the fields from wolves and foxes. I would say these dogs are the most fearless of any breed. They will fight to the death to protect the sheep and their owners. Many times my grandfather would have to bath one of the dogs to get the blood off of him and it was always the blood of a fox or wolf. They would even take on a bear. I would say they are the wolverenes of the dog family. My family bred these dogs for over 150 years back in Romania. Every few years they introduce a new dog from Georgia just to prevent inbreeding. The dogs are extremely independent, loyal and protective. They are never for the novice owner and need a lot of space. My grandfather's land is over 1000 acres and very remote. When he retired he bred the dogs and shepards as far as New Zealand would want to buy puppies because over the decades he had managed to produce puppies that were not prone to hip problems. A Cane Corso would be no match for the Ovcharkas. I was always scared of them when I went to visit him. The puppies were cute but the adults were massive and unpredictable. They could take out your arm or face in one bite. They got to know me but I was never 100% comfortable with them.

They sound like a nice unique breed, however; I’m too old to deal with a dog with that kind of strength! If I was twenty years younger or more, I would consider getting one. But now I’m up in age, I’m looking at a large breed dog because that’s all I had. But not a powerfully built strong dog like that so I’m looking at something along the lines of an Airdale Terrier. Good video though😁😁😁😁

You have every single point dead straight on point. My 5 yr old boy is exactly like this. They have to be taken in as a family member that lives , loves with his family as a son or daughter. Anything less is unacceptable.

We have two Cane Corsos and a Mastiff English Bull we love love love the big dogs they are amazing

We have a Connie Corso mix that we’ve adopted through paws program, And we just bought a new Cane Corso Dogo argentino mix, the new one is currently four months of age

Excellent advice. I’ve become infatuated with these beautiful dogs but I realise I am NOT cut out to own one. I’ll stick to pugs.

Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking into various breeds of dogs for a while now to decide which puppy will fit my needs. (I need a property guardian dog). I have fallen in love with the Cane Corso however after watching this video I believe I am not in a position to set up this dog breed for success as I need a dog that is ok with staying outside all night. I believe I will do more research into the Kangal dog for now. Maybe in the future I can consider a Cane Corso as a pet/house dog but right now I would be setting this dog up for failure and behavior issues.

I’m a disabled Vet, have my 2yo female CC. I have a small yard in Fla. I can’t really walk her due to injuries, but she runs around my yard like a mini horse…🤣🤣🤣.. love her, she’s great with my 6yo Aussie girl.

I own two of them they are gentle giants loveing dogs

You must have a fence at least 8 feet tall. My female Cane Corso can jump over a 6 foot fence with zero running start. She can literally leap a 6 foot high fence from a still position without touching the fence. Incredible how agile and athletic these dogs are. If you train them right they are very gentle. Mine is 7 months now and a total sweet heart. But I’ve had to heavily socialize her spending several hours a day with her. If you think your gonna feed it once a day and just let it out 3 times a day this dog will destroy you. These dogs have tons of anxiety

THANK YOU for this most informative video. It was most insightful as after watching it I realized I won't be the right fit for Cane Corso, as I don't exactly personify the 'Calm consistent leader' that the breed requires throughout its life. That said, I would indeed be able to spend a lot of time with this special breed, alas, I won't be able to provide the amount of exercise and activity that they need. I will now shift my research to the English Mastiff 🙂. Thank you again.

Absolutely great advice 👍 you are right on the money, cane corsos are a treasure and if your getting once consider all 5 he listed before bringing one home

Came as I am a new Rott owner. Looking for information and agree with this gentleman. My training of my dogs(5 little 10 pound chihuahuas) is far different from the large breed Rott. Big concern is her protective behavior as I have not seen that side yet. The Rott being a 50 pound 4 month old baby galloping and leaping through the house has been entertaining at best. Raising voice or taping on the hip or head lightly only encourages bad behavior lol. I have never owned such a smart dog and now I am interested in a Bane Corso. Keeping nails trimmed and wearing long sleeves is now a normal for me and my Rott. I do have the opportunity to spend all my time with my Layla, and have found everything he has said about the Cane Corso applies to my Rott.

Best dog I've ever had! I love them all but the CC was the best!

You nailed it my friend. I have a beautiful 5 year old female named Empress. I have had several dogs in the past which helped me with training her into a great dog.

I deep down respect you for this vid, I was willing to spend all of what little money i have on a Cane Corso pup, But I'm nowhere near qualified to train such a breed let alone own one 😊

Glad to see you with the Twelve Titans together. But even though They are 100% Professional, Serious, and have Wonderful Breeding Stock not ALL the Perspective Corso Owners are qualified to own a Dynamic Dog. Unfortunately the Corso has gone the way of so many “IN” dogs and EVERYONE wants one. Because of the initial costs, and the monetary gains in breeding them, “Backyard Breeders” have ruined the Temperament and slowly the Breed. Good video.

We love Angel. She is 5 months old now and goes to the Dog park daily..she is a lover with all tons and people

Massive fan. Alot of people looking for "looks" should not have a dog let alone a Cane Corso.

That said, adult adopted dog did insist on taking up most of the bed at first, then resigning to be on the end of the bed. Then when I bought her her own couch she would growl in her sleep as I approached for a glass of water ( this did only last for a month, and I woke her up to let her know it was me). But seriously lovely loyal affectionate dog. But to get then off the bed you have to push with both legs😂

Awesome! Loved how that Labrador on the couch came in handy as illustration of the contrast Labrador puppy and Cane Corso :-)

To give you an idea of the CC bite, I’m 6’2” 260lbs, and if my CC bit my arm he would break it. However, they go for the neck when they attack. Even a nip on the hand would break MANY bones in your hand.

Okay, hear me out, so I have thought about getting a dog for the longest, I started researching and I went to a shelter. This dog came up to me, after a biiig stretch, she was sleeping, turns out she is a cane corso. The guy at the shelter explained to me that she needed a lot of care, special food, medicine, and attention. She was fitting everything I could give to her. I have a big house with a big garden, plenty of space to run and smell things. My house is mainly tails, so I had no problem with her being inside for a couple months. Let me tell you, I have owned a dog before. I have never in my life saw a dog so smart, the fastest learner, the biggest cuddle bug. She is with me for a week now, she is 2 months old rn. She already knows how to sit, lay down, catch, bring, waiting for me to say Yes before eating something. She waits at the door when she wants to get out to wee. I socialize her as much as I can, but she doesn't have the 2 vaccines yet, so I can't meet her with other dogs. Keep in mind, I work from home, and I'm home most of the time, so she has the attention she needs, she is mostly with me, but she loves attention from other people, she is... my heart. I also have finances to buy her the best food. I can provide for her. I'm not telling this to brag. I just say that you need to be financially ready for the bills with this breed.

The wisdom you share is valuable! Thank You Will, we purchased your package!

No lie on strength of bite force. MY CC at 5 months snapped a cow rib in half in one bite.

I wish more people would listen to you. Even a small dog can cause damage. You have to know what you are doing, and you should know how to “read” your animal. Too many people do not purchase their dogs for the right reason. They are not a social symbol nor are they an animal to take lightly. I love Cane Corso and I have had decades of working with , training, showing, and understanding animal behaviour. I am close to retirement and I am waiting until I am retired to get my pup when he will have my full attention to raise him in a good environment with lots of socializing and training. Hopefully he will be of show quality as well. I would like to get back in the ring. Most dogs I have worked with have been large breed dogs . I have owned Great Pyrenees, trained Shepard’s Rotties , English Mastiffs, Labs, Setters, among other breeds. Yet I do not take owning a Corso lightly. I will ask questions and seek advice as I raise and train. Not because I am not sure what to do, but having and listening to the advice of top trainers and breeders of the magnificent breed can certainly be beneficial. Capable yes, but I will not be chalky or stupid! I have in the past worked with and was mentored by one of the Greatest dog trainers of all times.when it comes to dogs, I didn’t get to where I am by being silent, but by asking questions following rules and paying very close attention to the dog I was working with. I truly hope that your words get through to those who believe they know everything and refuse to take such wise advice. I have a a solid 50 plus years working with dogs and I am not embarrassed to ask questions. Even if I already know the answer it never hurts to confirm that knowledge or even discover a new way. Thank you for caring enough to share

I've had dogs all my life. My current dog is an ACD! That is enough for me. I will probably go back to labs. I love my ACD, but he is tough!

Points described by you Fenrir are appreciated 🙏.. Keep guiding people..

Hello Will, I would absolutely love to get a Corso. Where I'm hitting a snag, or doubting if I should get one, is not because I am inexperienced. I personally have a lot of experience with extremely powerful guarding breeds. Where I hit a snag is, my fiance is not experienced with large powerful breeds. I worried that if I get one, we could end up in a disastrous situation, if I am not present to handle the dog when it is in a guarding situation. The second dilemma, I find myself in, is that we live in a gated community where houses are extremely close together, thus providing us with very little room for the dog to roam or Patrol its territory. I personally Love, and Desire the fact that Corso's or so great at protecting their territory and family. However, as previously stated I am not 100% certain that my fiance could handle such a large powerful dog. On the upside, I do not plan on getting a Corso for at least 10 years. I feel like my fiance needs a lot more experience with these large powerful guarding breeds before I even attempt to bring one into our home. Where should I go from here?

Excellent points made and appreciate the effort you put into conveying the relevant information but my question is for all the current and former owners of this magnificent breed......do any of you faced any issues regarding resource guarding or the dog biting its owner?

I’m new but trying to friend you. I have a Corso that is VERY sensitive. She has flight not fight thank goodness. I’m injured abd am we are wasting time. My girl is EU (Skopje) she’s not docked or cropped. She’s got low confidence but I was fixing it but injury was a problem. Mines a totally cuddled abd has okay drive but is scared of children She’s ohysically inckunied abd large to standard. But SO sensitive. Scared of strangers. The look she gives people is NOPE! She’s not even 2 though. Thank you fir this information I will share it. Thank you! 😊

My father in law breeds cane corso’s. He’s offered up my wife and I a puppy of our choosing. We have a new born baby on the way as well. Im watching all your videos to make a collective decision on this.

Thank you for correct pronunciation sir.

I would have added in your intro “emotionally intelligent” but definitely agree with your reasons.

As I am a Cane Corso owner, I was going to rip you a new one in the comments. But I actually agree with your video. My Corso is a gentle giant at 140lbs. He's never chewed on anything other than my phone charger. He knew what he did so i didn't even have to punish him. I know I'll sound crazy for saying this but talk to your Corso daily. The Corso is very intelligent, mine knows over 15 commands. He's a family dog that stays inside but guards the house and me during our daily walks. Once he barks, he puts fear in every dog and human . So praise him and let your dog know that whether it's alright or not. My Corso is like your Labrador during the day but at night, he turns into the ultimate guard dog. He does everything I've told him to and trained him to do. I do suggest in the next video, to invest in Beware of Dog signs and that most house insurance companies will not cover your home with this breed. Idk why but mine has never torn up anything other than a bag of Krystals at 4 months old. Lol Over all a great video, I do suggest having a Corso in the video would help people watch the entire video though

The upside is that you pronounce "cane" the proper way, unlike so damned many who think they are walking sticks! If a person can handle a miniature pinscher brat, that person can easily train a cane corso. You do give excellent advice, as too many trashy people want a "killer" dog to compensate for being weak losers, and they usually don't have anything to sue for.

I just saw your video and I need to vent somewhere.... I am a vet tech and just now we had a cane corso puppy at our practice... 7 months old, over 40 kg(I have no idea in lbs) and greeted us very nicely. The MOMENT we wanted him to get on the table you could see that was not going to be easy... Owner was scared of him all "ohhhh, come on baby, don't be scared, come on, come on get on the table. No? Don't want to? Ok, its ok baby" When I moved to try to help the owner lift him onto the table but no... Dog came whipping around snarling at me... I am so fu**ing angry right now!! Why would you get such a dog in a big city and NOT TRAIN HIM????

I just want to say that I loved your cat and Podcast I want to applaud you in your efforts to to import nava you know new owners of the white could be at risk.

Thank you Will,Good advice and well put👍

You're so right I got my corso from cl. Separation issues is definitely what he goes through but he's getting better after eating a hole through my bedroom door and

great video you nailed it ,,thank God for cane corso ...I am cane corso for life

Everything he said is correct. I just to live to live with 4 grownup female cane Corso for a Year and they are the best...but very sensitive... also Territorial...one time they almost eat a man who accidentally entered in uninvited, he survived... Police said that it is he's fault for entering to property protected by dogs...if that happens to someone you should not move until owner comes back and you should be fine...if you have cane Corso lock the door because people are unpredictable

My baby is a sweetheart. Your only problem with her is staying dry from her drooling. But good information

My brother got a corso, 7k for first pick, and puppy passed away in his sleep at 31/2 months, heart was messed up. We was offered another first pick next litter, he did not take it, he did eventually get one, actually he has 3 now. I just got my South African mastiff few months ago, or I would go get a cane. I’m sure I will eventually but I wanna get a female Southafrican mastiff first, maybe another 4/5 years I’ll get a cane.

My beautiful black shiny dog has got to have a cane corso mix in him. He does love to run and constantly hungry. Do they tend to have any hip joint problems? My baby’s hip joint isn’t always in its exact position, then he raises that leg and carry’s on. We love him and he’s such a cuddled and so solid! We need a miracle he wants to do what his 3.5 year old doggie mind wants to do, makes me sad. Ritamarie Smith Syracuse NY USA 😘

my sister has a pet cane corso, i seldom see them but their pet is such a sweet dog

Beautiful, having vast experience in the subject breed.Shortly, I shall be getting one such breed. I like all breed variety.

Will gives great advice, but what really needs to said is corsos are loving family members and protective plus aggressive dogs as well, but each corso will be different in levels of aggressiveness. In other words you might get a corso that is less aggressive and your breeder will be able to help you choose a puppy to suit you. I am not disrespecting Will, but even though there are dogs of certain breeds that are aggressive there also those that arent as aggressive. I have a chow chow that is aggressive, but my mom had one that was a sweet heart. My uncle has owned boxers and his was aggressive but my friends boxer is a big ham. My other friends owned Dobermans that lived behind a 6 foot privacy fence and an older lady friend owned a Doberman and he was a friendly loving dog so it depends totally on how you raise and train them, but it also depends on the dog. Like people each dog is different. Example: some people have road rage others don't. I think its important to train, but it is also important to know the dog you choose whatever breed you choose. Spending a lot of time learning your dogs personality is important. And yes I highly recommend Will's training videos. I am getting my corso in April. Champion bloodline from Romania and already In ordering his training manuals. I am also interested in his raw dog food regiment. I hear raw is better.

Thank you for the information. I was unaware that it is an Italian breed. My youngest daughter & her little 7 year old daughter now own 2 black cane Corso dogs. Lucy is about 6 months old & Rick is 8 weeks old. I am concerned as to the strength of the breed around my youngest daughter & granddaughter. She made the decision & choice. I pray 🙏 regularly for their safety. Perhaps that influenced her decision. Lucy JUST started her first training session. They will be joining her in a few weeks to learn what they must on commands & such. (They live so far away I rarely get to see them, & I do not travel at all. Frankly I would be afraid to be around their dogs. As I am a Kat-Mama.)

Great advice! Thanks Will! Can't wait for the next video on Cane Corso.

I'm an experienced dog owner but I'd still pay to have one go through behavior training to be sure I can predict behavior.

Thank you for pronouncing the name correctly!

My niece is a Cane Corso English Bulldog mix 1yr old and she is a sweet and loving dog but requires a ton of excercise/stimulation. My brother has her enrolled in obedience training and doggie daycare so she gets loads of socialazation which is VERY important for this breed. She's amazing and loves her family but a lot of work too.

i have a presa canerio she is a amazing dog

Great information...breeders should show this video before selling a Corso

I am a happy owner of a beautiful Kane Corso. He is a big, 150 pounds, dog and loves all the family, though he has his favorites. Before him I had a beautiful pit bull. She was just 19 kilos and became a national champion at 10 months. She remained champion untill I have got tired of dog shows. I can tell you that 150 pounds Cane Corso is far easier to train than 19 kilos pit bull. There was something very intimidating about her, as a giant Cane Corso attructs people to kiss and play with him. Pitt bull accepted me as an alfa, but didn't have much respect for anybody else. In the past I had a german sheppard, so have experience with big dogs. Cane Corso is a fantastic dog even if it is your first dog. Just love the dog and learn how to look after him/her. The dog will give everything it can back.

Love my Corso never shall I get any other breed!! U just have to be firm but loving with these breeds, You can house train a puppy faster than any other breed at a very young age!! Very smart dogs that displays a warrior breed that you will recognize!!! I take my Corso out on trails with my horse which he loves to do chasing and catching rabbits!! To be so big there powerful and FAST!! Impressive breed but u must have experience on training dogs before you purchase a Cane Corso! My Corso protects my horses and live stock like Homeland security Great protectors. Stubborn at times but a Big ole snuggle bear when you raise right with long periods of quality time spent with them!! Buy The book How to be A Dogs best friend by B. Monks research and studied the breed and there methods helped me raised mines!! Superb Dogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏽🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇸

Great show mp pup is 10 weeks n already tough!

I've thought, about getting a cane corso, but after I learn that they aren't for first time owners, It's kinda put me off.

You've got a great combination of fact and passion young lad! Calm and collective. Do you have any Cane families in the LA area?

Excellent job as always. Take care

My son lives in an rv. Last year he bought a Presa Canaria, a wonderfull dog. Very sweet. Now they got a Cane Corso. They are not invested any time in her. And 6 month old she will, as soon as I turned my back to her, she charged at me hair up, teeth bear. I'm quit consurned about her future. My son is not an alfa leader and absolutely not patient. Should I be scared? I have had dogs for 30 years from Alaskan Malamute, Labrador to pitbull. Is there anything I can do? They live on my property.

Yo love your input!!!! Your on point! I just my boy last year I Need another one!!!!! I'm a able cane corso owner!!!!
