Hello everyone, I was hoping to ask other forum members about puppy play. My little Cane Corso is 15 wks old now. We watch over him very close when it comes to things like not getting up on the couch, not jumping up on people, no stairs on his own etc. However there has been two occurrence where our pup has snuck his way up on the sofa. When we tell him “off” and I walk towards him he has jumped off the sofa. From everything I’ve read online about raising a mastiff they say that permanent damage could be done to the puppy at a young age. Both times that I’ve seen him jump down he is fine, no limping no crying...... just Dad(me) running over to him to check him over to make sure he is alright. We also have a 6 yr old Boxer in our home as well. Her name is Karma, I have to give it to Karma she puts up with the puppy constantly being in her face nipping and barking at her. My little Cane Corso Major likes to play rough with Karma. I don’t mind if they lightly play but if things get too intense We are quick to stop them and calm them down. I don’t want to do any long term damage to my little guy at a young age. Am I being to paranoid?? I take him for a 10-15 minute long walk up our street everyday, trying to get him used to sights, sounds, people etc. This is all on Asphalt, I also take him to a park right around the corner from our house and walk him there on the grass. I’ve read allot about mastiff puppies and how frigile they are, I do throw a ball well at the park which he loves to catch and bring back. I just don’t want to do any damage to our little pup. Am I just being an over protective dog owner? Is it ok to let him go up and down “steps” like the entrance to my house? Is it alright to walk him on asphalt? I don’t run with him or allow him to run on asphalt. Grass I would let him chase his ball, but even that he does slowly.
Any insight or advice would be tremendously appreciated
Thank you
