The Cane Corso Experience

Thank you to all of my listeners, but many of you know that I stopped uploading this podcast due to…reasons. Well, I wanted to upload a true finale. Here is the last (for now) Cane Corso Experience podcast.

New Cane Corso owners as well as potential owners need to know, the Do's and Don't of owning this magnificent breed.

When training your Cane Corso, most people focus on the latest and greatest training techniques learned from you tubers and training books. What some of us forget, is once you get to know your dog, you will realize that your dog has a personality and genetic profile unique to him or herself. Once you realize this, training takes on some new challenges.

After a long hiatus, I'm back at it, but for how long?

Lee from the UK had a few questions about his rescued Cane Corso named Dylan. Dylan has had a rough go early in his life, but the good news is, I think we can help.

Dog parks can be a great place for your dog to interact with other dogs and people. Some owners don't understand the flip side and what to avoid when taking their Corso to your local dog park.

Developing trust and confidence in you Cane Corso is really the key that unlocks good behavior in them later on. in this episode, I talk about those topics and answer a specific listener question on this topic, enjoy!

When you have a change to your pack, someone moving in, moves out or in my case, the loss of a pet, the dynamic and purpose of remaining pack members can change. I talk about how Romulus, my 3 year old Cane Corso has reacted to the loss of his English Bulldog brother. I also talk about Romulus's Embark genetic report and give my two since on how to learn from training mistakes.

The day that every dog owner must face one day, that no one looks forward to. How to deal with the loss of a friend and companion. In this episode I reject on the life of my dog Bruno, and what life will be like after him.

Looking back at 2021 and how far I have progressed with training and behavior modification with Romulus. I also talk about preventing issues rather than fixing them in your training.

Dog training starts with being a good pack leader. As a good leader, you have to assess problems and make corrections, even if the problem is you. We must insure that we don't just blame the dog, but take responcablity in our lack of knowledge, inconstancy or improper training techniques.

We all have asked ourselves if a Cane Corso is right for you, but my question I present for this episode is "are YOU right for a Cane Corso"? I give 10 questions you should ask yourself to ensure you are a good fit for a Cane Corso.

In this episode I discuss Romulus's diet and I also discuss other dog training/behavior training media that I consume. I discuss some books, podcasts and you tube channels that are good and not so good sources for information on being the best Cane Corso Mom or Dad you can be.

Dogs have limited communication options. They can wine, bark, growl, snap or bite. Just because they snap or bite does not nessessarly mean they want to hurt you. In this episode, we discuss a listener question about his Cane Corso snapping at him when he does not want to do something, and the underlying thing his dog might be trying to say to him.

The Cane Corso is one of the very best dog breads to have a very special bond with, but what happens if you are having issues with you dog. If they are not being trained correctly, or you are having substantial training issues, they could cause you alot of stress and could cause some major issues in your life. Worst case scenario, it effects your relationship with loved one. In this episode and help a listener find some answers to the hard reality when your dog is causing you to have relationship issues.

If you say you want a Cane Corso, there has to be a reason for it. just know that having a Cane Corso comes with great benefits and more than a few challenges. If you want one, make sure you know what you are in for.

I get asked from time to time to make a podcast just about puppy training, well, here is what I got your you. It might not be what you think.

We are all dog owners, but do you take "Ownership" of your training?

I update everyone of how Romulus is doing with his training and his behaviour issues

There are alot of negitive behaviors your Cane Corso could exsibit for a mulitude of reasons. The biggest reason that causes most behavior issues is lack of a strong pack leader. You might think you are a stong leader, but you must lead your pack the way they NEED leadership. I this episode I help with identifying how a strong K9 leader acts when interacting with their pack.
