Hi all!
My name is Brittany. I have a new cane corso puppy. His name is Titan. This is my first experience with the cane corso
breed. I've had him for about four weeks now and I need a little advice. He is 12 weeks old.
My first problem has been crate training. I let him out to play several times a day, but when he is in the create he howls
constantly. I feed him in the crate with the door open and praise him when he goes in. I'm not sure what else to do for him. Can I make him stop howling, and how long will that stage last?
The second question I have is about his diet. I'm feeding him Wellness puppy food. Is this ok for him? I was originally looking for Innova Evo, but wasn't able to find it in store anywhere close. He seems to be doing fine on what I have. Any advice on food is welcome.
As far as training goes, is it ok to use food for praise? I was told not to reward him with a treat because he will stop the behavior when I stop giving him treats. Is that true? Also, I would love suggestions for trainers near Washington Court House, Ohio. I'm equally close to Columbus and Dayton. I can't seem to control the puppy biting. I have children. He is otherwise wonderful with my girls, but they can't play with him much right now due to the biting. It wasn't much of a problem until here recently. It seems to have gotten more frequent and now that he's bigger it hurts. What can I do?
Thanks in advance!
