How to Train a Cane Corso Puppy to Not Bite?

The Cane Corso, a magnificent dog that can weigh up to 100 pounds and is muscular and noble, is the Cane Corso. These dogs have been used for centuries as guard dogs. This breed produces a dog who is loyal to her family and protects them from all harm. Your family will be protected as part of her natural instincts. You can direct her protection instinct and teach her how to behave in different situations. A Cane Corso adult who acts aggressively in the wrong situations is dangerous. Even a playful Corso pup, even if it is still growing, can be frightened or knocked over by an uninformed visitor.

Your Corso is intelligent and will do anything to please you.

Definition of Tasks

You decide the rules for your Corso. Do you want her to only live with you as a family pet and not to ever lay her teeth on anyone? If this is the case, you will need to establish rules for mouth play and share them with family and friends. You must teach your Corso how to properly protect yourself, your family, and your property. It could spell disaster if she bites under the wrong circumstances. It doesn't matter how you live with your Corso. You need to socialize her with dogs and people throughout her puppyhood. Cane Corsos who are kept apart from their family will likely misdirect their guarding behavior as adults. A Corso who is well socialized will have a better understanding of human and canine behavior and be less likely to make mistakes.

Getting Started

You will need to teach your Cane Corso puppy not to bite. Your Corso puppy will love to chew on all kinds of materials and textures. Tugging is a great way for your pup to learn bite control and release energy. However, you should follow the tug toy rules and have complete control over the game. A variety of tug toys and treats is a great way for your Corso to stay interested. While training, you should use nutrition treats and even your Corso’s kibble. As your Corso pup grows, it is vital that she has the right nutrition.

The Mouth Play Method

Play with your hands

Your Corso pup has already learned how to bite pressure and inhibition from her littermates and her mom. Now she needs to learn how to use the mouth with her human family. Your Corso pup will love to play with your hands and her mouth. Be careful not to pull away or trigger her to grab on.

Ouch!

Exaggerate your discomfort if your dog makes you feel any less than uncomfortable. You can also act hurtful and offended.

Leave

If your dog attempts to follow you, leave the room for 10 to 20 seconds.

Return

You can immediately return to your dog and play with her again with your hands. To encourage gentle behavior, you should move slowly and not pull away.

Do it!

As your puppy grows up, you will need to practice consistently and socialize your dog. Soon, she will be begging you to play with toys instead of chewing on your hands. Always keep plenty of toys on hand.

The No Teeth on People Method

Toys everywhere

You should have plenty of chew toys and tug toys, so your dog can play with them and you can also access them from a separate place.

Play

Play with your dog with the toys and make sure you have your hands available.

Ouch!

Exaggerate your yelling when your dog touches you with her teeth in play. Retire from the play.

Offer toy

After a while, give your Corso the toy and then continue playing.

Continue

As your Corso grows, continue to play with toys. Keep your hands open so that she doesn't chew

on your fingers.

The When to Bite Method

Protection driven

It may be a smart idea to allow your Corso to express her protection-driven instincts and give her a place to vent it.

Sleeve

You can teach your Corso pup how to catch a bit of food by waving it at her and letting it go.

Wait for command

Ask your Corso to wait until she is convinced to grab the sleeve.

Time Increase

Your Corso will wait longer before you give the command. You will eventually get used to her sitting or lying down while you wait.

Introduce false alarms

Introduce times when the person wearing the sleeves enters or exits. You will never let go of your Corso. You can reward her with toys and treats during these times. You can practice until your Corso relaxes enough to allow you to ask her to eat.
