I currently have a 20 pound boston/pug and hes awesome but my dream...

    1 yr old Cane Corso - Territorial Aggression, and Aggression with 7-12 month old Pups

    Hello! My husband and I love our 110 lb Cane Corso, Brewzer, but he is out of control! He has had territorial aggression with our neighbors since we've had him. Unfortunately, he entered a "fear stage" early, and we tried to calm him when he would give a little puppy growl i.e. "it's okay...

    Hello, Melo the 13 wk old blk CC joining the pack

    Hello everyone. I have always loved the large and extra large breeds, and now, I'm finally a proud mastiff mommy. I had a bullmastiff when I was in junior high and fell in love with giant dogs. When I finally got to a time period in my military lifestyle that would allow me to care for a pet, my...

    Thoughts on Mastiff breeds?

    Hello All, My first post, though I have been lurking for a bit. I was looking to get some insight and perspective from those of you with Mastiff breeds. Several years ago, I decided I wanted to get a Boerboel. I had searched for a while and wanted something larger than a boxer, less hyper...

    Cane Corso - skin problems

    Hi everyone! I am new to the forum, joining up today after reading a thread from someone else about skin problems with their mastiff that sound very similar to what I am trying to figure out. I have a 2 year old blue Cane Corso, and live in Mexico. For the last 1.5 years I have been trying to...

    Hello from Vancouver

    Hi, Just joined and thought I would say hello. I lost my Cane Corso a while ago at 11-1/2 years. He was the second Corso I have had - adore this breed! (Although I must say I do have a very soft spot for molossars in general.) I did a lot of training with my dog and titled him in various...

    Jaw pain?

    Last night my boyfriend was snuggling Enzo and gave him a kiss on the cheek and he yelped. Enzo gets kind of moody when he is tired so we didn't think much of it. Well today he seems to be very sensitive around his jaw (all the way up to the base of his ears) on both sides. If we even lightly...

    Introducing Enzo

    I've posted a few questions and browsed through a ton of posts, I think its about time I introduce Enzo. He's 15 weeks old (and 30lbs) and is (in my opinion) the cutest CC puppy ever. He's the first mastiff for our family and has been quite a handful. He developed HOD at 12 weeks but is now...

    Puppy bonding

    Hello - I was hoping to get some help/advice from other CC owners. My 15 week old puppy, Enzo, is very very attached to me and I am not sure how healthy it is. He will not lay/snuggle with my boyfriend or my step daughter if I am in the room. He will wake from a dead sleep to follow me into...

    Cane Corso training...most important commands

    We will be bringing our new pup Tess home in 4 weeks, and I'm trying to be as prepared as possible. What are the most important commands to teach, other than the basics (sit, stay, down). We have four daughters, and want them to establish dominance early on, as the puppy will outweigh them...

    Confidence Building Exercises

    Hi Everyone, I just wanted to inform you all that Chief is doing a lot better now with strangers! :) We have gone with the "Please don't pet him" approach. He warms up to new people within an hour. We also keep him on a leash when new people enter our home. He is doing very well with stay and...

    Fear Aggression... HELP PLS!!!

    Hello everyone, Chief has some severe fear aggression. He recently got asked to drop out of an obedience school because he growled at the trainer and lounged toward her. He was then categorized as "highly aggressive" and we were asked to leave (Don't get me started on how upset I was about it)...

    Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD)

    Hello - My 3 month old Cane Corso puppy had a slight limp about a week ago. It would come and go throughout the day and never really seem to bother him much. Friday he acted completely normal and was not limping at all. Saturday morning he would cry when we touched his front legs, we kept him...

    Lecture from Vet

    Hi Everyone, So my 4 month old CC growled at the Puppy Doctor on Saturday morning. She came into the room and tried to pet him on his head and he growled and snapped at her. He is beginning to do this more often, but doesn't do it with every stranger he meets. He does this only with some people...

    Video: Whistle Recall Practice at the Park

    Here is a casual video of Luther at the Park. After a few months of off leash training he now has a pretty solid recall, and will respond to verbal command, however I like to whistle (in conjunction with using hand signal sometimes) for long distance recall, and he responds to it very well. I...

    Pics of Luther at the Park

    I took Luther to the off leash dog run today, since it was a nice warm day. The weather is soon to change here, they're talking about it dropping down into 40's F by the end of the week, and 20's F at night. :( I hate the cold, and am not looking forward to winter. Anyway, here are some pics I...
