Hi all I've been getting a bit of conflicting advice from people regarding my 11 month old Cane Corso.
He is a very loving dog who spends time with my family but first and foremost I purchased him to be a capable property guardian.
My initial thoughts when purchasing the dog were not to try and influence his guard Instinct. I figured that would come naturally.
I'm now hearing opinions that Corsos are more watchdog than guard dog and that it will bark at but not stop an burglar.
Now obviously having a family I don't want to train the dog to be aggressive but likewise I don't want him to let intruders in.
What do other Corso owners think?
