Getting started with training your Cane Corso puppy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing where to start training with and caring for your Cane Corso puppy starts with understanding where the breed comes from and what their quirks are, as well as how they develop both mentally and physically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corso growth stages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corso\u2019s are a large breed and reach their adult height at around 1 year old, but continue filling out until they are around 2.5 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corso behavior stages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like all dogs, Cane Corsos go through different periods of development, which affect their behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name of developmental stage<\/td>Age<\/td>What happens<\/td><\/tr>
Socialization Period<\/td>Up to 12 weeks old<\/td>Puppies learn about new stimuli, and develop emotional responses to things (people, objects, sounds, textures etc) in the world.<\/td><\/tr>
Adolescence<\/td>6-14 months old<\/td>Hormonal changes can cause imbalances in behavior, their willingness to train or do things they previously did, and aggression or increased fearfulness can occur.<\/td><\/tr>
Sexual Maturity<\/td>From 7 months up to 1 year<\/td>Females will come into season and may act more insecure, needy or even aggressive to other dogs. Males can become more territorial and aggressive to other males, and can often start marking.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Learn more in our articles on socialization<\/a>, puppy teething<\/a> and puppy fear periods.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things you need to know about Cane Corso<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are Cane Corsos easy to train?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Isn\u2019t that great news? Cane Corsos are the kind of dog that thrives on being trained and having structure. They can be quite the clown at times, but their size can be challenging if they aren\u2019t taught to behave appropriately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Zigzag app<\/a>, we use positive reinforcement<\/a>. Why? Well, it\u2019s quite simple. The reward based methods really do work for ALL breeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How big can Cane Corsos get?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Male Cane Corsos generally reach an adult height of around 32-34 inches and a weight range of between 100 and 130 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Female Cane Corsos are a little smaller and tend to be around 27 and 32 inches tall with a weight range of 80 and 100 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Cane Corso personality like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll often hear that Cane Corsos are protective, loyal and affectionate. Although these traits are generally true, it\u2019s also true that dogs are individual and will have different personalities. But no matter what, you can generally be sure they will want to protect your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the lifespan of a Cane Corso?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corsos live until they are around 8-12 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Cane Corsos good with families?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Corsos can make amazing family dogs as long as they are given the right training and opportunities to be a dog. Like any large breed of dog, safety should always come first, so we don\u2019t recommend leaving dogs and children unattended together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of your Cane Corso training program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corso puppies do best with a structured training program. Structure will help them become a confident and obedient dog who will be able to think for themselves, and follow cues and directions. With all that size and power comes responsibility, so you\u2019ll have to be sure to give these workaholics the enrichment, stimulation and routine they need to thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Zigzag puppy training app<\/a>, you\u2019ll find a full training program for your Cane Corso that\u2019s developed with their breed traits in mind. The program is specifically designed for their age and development stage, so you know that what you\u2019re teaching them is exactly what they need for the time being. If you get stuck, there\u2019s never need to worry! Our team of puppy trainers<\/a> are available 24\/7 to help you glide over any bumpy roads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 8 week training program for your Cane Corso puppy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your Cane Corso\u2019s 8 week training program will teach them the basics of becoming a well-behaved, socialized dog ready to take on the modern human world. Whether you call the countryside or the city home, your pup’s training will need to be tailored to their surroundings and the experiences they’ll encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the countryside, it\u2019s likely they’ll need to learn how to calmly greet farm animals or stay focused despite the distractions of wide open spaces. City pups, on the other hand, will have to practice navigating busy streets, ignoring tempting stinky trash on the sidewalk, and being unfazed by loud noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter where you live, consistent training during these early weeks will set your Cane Corso up for success as a well-adjusted family member and all-round \u2018good dog\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how we use positive reinforcement training<\/a> in the Zigzag app<\/a>, and get a step by step Cane Corso training program today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In your first week, you\u2019ll focus on socialization and habituation<\/a> to help with your Cane Corso\u2019\u2019s confidence levels, as well as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Training <\/strong>– Whether you are potty training in an apartment<\/a>, or you have a backyard or garden, you\u2019ll want to check out our full guide on how to potty train a puppy in as little as 7 days.<\/a> This is definitely one you want to get started on quickly to avoid as many accidental poops in your house! Trust us – they won’t be small ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grooming and handling – <\/strong>Cane Corsos don\u2019t require much brushing, but simply the act of grooming itself will help stimulate blood flow to the skin and also get all that dead fur out. Like all puppies, they\u2019ll need help understanding that hands are nice things that will often touch them, so make sure that they are able to build positive associations with the brush and your hands. Treats will help lots for this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name – <\/strong>The first step is getting your Cane Corso to pay attention and listen to you, an important skill we think you\u2019ll agree with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read our guide how to teach a puppy their name<\/a> or how to choose the best name for your puppy<\/a> to know more about this part of the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit – <\/strong>Sit is often one of the first things we teach all puppies. Besides being a polite skill to learn, but also just looks mad cute. Sitting means they can\u2019t jump up so easily, which is something we definitely want to avoid\u2026especially in such a large breed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out our guides on how to stop a puppy jumping up<\/a> and how to teach your puppy to sit<\/a> to know more about these useful skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crate Training<\/strong><\/a> –<\/strong> Teaching your puppy to be happy in a confined area such as a crate<\/a> or playpen<\/a> is going to come in very handy with sleeping, getting them into a regular nap time routine,<\/a> and giving them a place they can relax away from the hustle and bustle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a large breed, Corsos generally like children a lot\u2026but tend to not realize how big they actually are. Safety always comes first, so let\u2019s make sure to use baby gates, playpens<\/a> and crates<\/a> to keep everyone happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corsos are pretty curious too, so you might want to read up on puppy proofing your house<\/a> sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puppy nutrition<\/a> is always a hot topic, especially in a large breed where feeding the right nutrients is even more important to allow for correct growth rate. Whether you choose to raw feed your puppy<\/a>, or become a chef and cook for your pup<\/a> yourself, just be sure to feed them a balanced diet. It\u2019s essential for their development! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Week 2 we\u2019ll get on with more life skills training<\/a>. We\u2019re focusing on keeping it fun and rewarding for your Cane Corso puppy, as that\u2019s how dogs learn best! Don\u2019t listen to people talking about dominance or \u201cdogs being like wolves<\/a>\u201d or whatever\u2026 We disproved that long ago. It\u2019s pretty old-fashioned and simply not the case!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biting –<\/strong> Be warned: your Cane Corso puppy WILL turn into a baby shark. It\u2019s good to be prepared for this, with lots of frozen Kongs<\/a> and toys<\/a> to redirect them to something that will not scream in pain when they bite into it. And have lots of patience\u2026you\u2019ll need it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read up our full guide to puppy biting<\/a> and puppy teething<\/a> to dig your teeth into this topic\u2026you\u2019ll need it for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Management – <\/strong>Here\u2019s a secret…so many behavior problems could be prevented if we just applied an often forgotten part of puppy raising: management. Management is all about setting your puppy up for success. By managing their environment and situations, your puppy has more chances to get things right and build confidence. Cane Corso puppies don\u2019t know what they don\u2019t know, so until they do know, let\u2019s make sure they don\u2019t get a chance to get it wrong. There\u2019s a tongue twister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got lots more on this in our article all about management in dog training.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down<\/strong><\/a> –<\/strong> Start to teach your puppy to lie down. Your Cane Corso will just love learning any tricks you want to teach them. A mat or blanket<\/a> can be useful here, as it will be much more comfortable when training to lie on a hard floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alone time training – <\/strong>Start off by building a safe and secure attachment to you. Never leave a puppy to cry it out! It\u2019s just not a thing and never will be. Read more on our guide to preventing separation anxiety in puppies<\/a> – there\u2019s lots of good stuff in there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduce the collar and harness –<\/strong> For a strong dog like your Corso, it\u2019s important to start getting them used to harnesses and collars early. We tend to use a collar<\/a> for ID tags, and a harnesses<\/a> to go on actual walks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bathing –<\/strong> Cane Corsos will shed fur, which means they get rid of a lot of the dirt from their coat on their own. They won\u2019t require much bathing, but they DO love to roll in the dust, so it\u2019s a good idea to get them used to bathing. A walk-in shower might be better for when these guys grow to their full size\u2026a tub might not cut it when they\u2019re older. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read our article on how to bathe your puppy<\/a> to learn how to ease into it step-by-step and keep it fun for your pup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corsos may look kinda goofy (adorably, of course) but trust us, they are very clever dogs too! With positive reinforcement training, there\u2019s no need to use a firm hand with any dog. It\u2019s just the best! As a large breed, they do get bored easily, so it\u2019s important that you give them plenty of enrichment, and mental stimulation. Use puzzle feeders<\/a> to feed them their meals, and look at how you can incorporate natural behaviors that Cane Corsos like to do in their daily routines, like playing tug and sniffing games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get on with this week\u2019s training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall – <\/strong>Teaching your puppy to come back<\/a> when you call them should start early. When the time comes that you need to call them away from the road, you want this to work perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leash walking<\/strong><\/a> –<\/strong> Loose leash walking with such a big dog can take a while to perfect, and we\u2019d recommend you put the time in to practice. Can\u2019t blame them, they have no idea how strong they are! Teaching your puppy not to pull<\/a> will be all about creating a reinforcement zone so they learn to walk calmly next to you. Practice indoors or in your yard at first, and when you\u2019ve got a good hang of that, add a leash and harness later on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settle –<\/strong> This will be important when you want to take your Cane Corso along with you for all-you-can-eat brunch. Teach them to settle on a mat or bed, and relax while you relax yourself with a well-deserved mimosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tug – <\/strong>Play a game of tug with cue words \u2018take it\u2019 and \u2018drop it\u2019. Your Cane Corso puppy will be over the moon if you treat them with a game of tug of war. You\u2019ll want to introduce a \u2018take it\u2019 and \u2018drop\u2019 cue, to prevent them snatching toys, and to get them to happily give them too. We show you how to do all of this step-by-step in the Zigzag app, but you can also read more in our articles on how to teach a dog to drop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching tug with a take it and drop will also help to prevent resource guarding<\/a> too. Yay!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nail clips <\/strong><\/a>–<\/strong> It can be a little challenging to clip a dog\u2019s nails. Some dogs aren\u2019t big fans of the clippers and having their feet touched, so this will be something you\u2019ll need to get your Cane Corso used to.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With big paws come big responsibilities, which you can learn all about in our article on dog paws and how to care for them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s potty training going by the way? Hope it\u2019s still not a touchy subject If you\u2019re in an apartment or condo without a yard, check out our article on potty training in an apartment,<\/a> or our roundup of the best indoor puppy potties.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Cane Corso will likely be drooling and teething a lot, so you\u2019ll want to provide them with lots of puppy chews<\/a>, stuffed Kongs<\/a> and chew toys<\/a> to get into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Generalization – <\/strong>Practicing training in lots of different places will be important to make sure you can get your Cane Corso puppy to listen to you (and any cues!) at all times. Start by practicing this in different parts of your home and yard, and then try them out on walks and in different locations. When you move to a new place that might be a little more distracting, use smellier and tastier treats to help them place their focus back on you. You can read more about the magic of rewards and treats<\/a> when training in distracting environments in our article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build on basic cues – <\/strong>Sits, downs, walking on a leash<\/a>, and recall all need many many repetitions and plenty of practice to perfect. Oh, you\u2019ll need patience too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave it<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>This is a great one for teaching a Cane Corso puppy. Being so big and powerful, it\u2019s important that they learn to disengage and leave something you don\u2019t want them to have. Start by using some plain old kibble that\u2019s easy for them to leave, and then we can up the difficulty to more tempting treats.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Train with games –<\/strong> Cane Corsos are playful pups, which is great news because we can use training games to teach them important life skills, like frustration tolerance and self control! Scroll through our training games library<\/a> to pick up some good games to use throughout your training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s your schedule going? If you feel like things are spiraling a little out of control, check out our schedule for puppy training<\/a> to get it all running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 5-8<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For weeks 5-8 try out our personalized Cane Corso training plan. You\u2019ll want to build on the behaviors we talked about above, like teaching your Cane Corso to come back when called, and leash walking<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corso Puppy Training FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are Cane Corsos at risk of health issues?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cane Corsos can be at risk of health issues that affect many large breed dogs such as bloating, hip and elbow dysplasia, and eye problems such as cherry eye or entropion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more in our article on watery eyes<\/a> and eye anatomy<\/a> to catch any risk of infections in time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should I feed a Cane Corso puppy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Cane Corso will benefit from a complete diet formulated for large breeds to ensure steady and slow growth. Whether you choose to homecook<\/a> (or buy a commercial home cooked dog food\u2026not all of us are natural kitchen talents),, raw feed your puppy<\/a> or feed them a commercial dry or wet food, just make sure it\u2019s nutritionally complete and everything will be fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our puppy nutrition guide<\/a> has a lot more useful information for knowing the best ways to keep your puppy healthy and strong through food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Cane Corsos smart dogs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes! They are very smart dogs. As a large breed, they may not be the most nimble, or as agile<\/a> and fast as a Border Collie<\/a>, but they still love to learn and are unique on their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Cane Corsos good with families?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, as a bull breed, they have been developed to live with families and be affectionate. You have to remember that they kinda don\u2019t know their own size though, so watch out for these gentle giants when with small children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do I do if my Cane Corso doesn’t listen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a break, and then regroup! Check what you\u2019ve been asking them to do\u2026are you asking too much? Is the environment too distracting? Then also look at what you\u2019re using as a reinforcer<\/a>. If your dog doesn\u2019t want to do something, chances are the reward they\u2019re getting simply isn\u2019t ticking them in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How difficult is potty training a Cane Corso?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news is that it\u2019s not more difficult than any other breed of dog. Other news is that it just requires determination, patience and lots and lots of practice. But in better news, you can potty-train a puppy in as little as 7 days!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
