There is nothing wrong with us. We have had 6 cane corsos. get a puppy from a breeder, not a rescue corso from the pound or other. we have had nothing but misery with Rescue corsos, to the tune of $100K. Our retirement is ruined and we will never recover. Please tell me what a bad person I am, then eat your dog's poop.
This video is pure gold. I’m guilty of this - lack of self-confidence which is then projecting to the dog as reactivity. Loving leadership and guidance.
She may have missed the initial socialization period but socialization is never over. but that’s to sounds and new environments. We got our corso at 4 months imported. I spent the first few months taking her everywhere with me introducing her to new places, ppl, sounds. She’s VERY well socialized. Almost looks for ppl to gloat and fawn over her. DONT ever stop socializing.
Exactly, my pup is 14 weeks she loves attention from everybody and loves playing with other dogs at the same time she has that alerting guard these beautiful breeds have. Absolutely intelligent but still puppy phase
So good, Will. Thank you. I have known for three months that I am the problem -- mild-mannered, soft-spoken, 100 lb lady, with a 50 lb Belgian Shepherd puppy. Pup is now 11 months old. I have tried being the 'tough boss', but tend to slip back into my genial, easy-going manner. This video is a reminder to me to work harder at being 'hard-nosed' leader; to practice every day, on every walk. Still, this puppy is very intelligent, very clever, and I'm sure she has me figured out. She knows who I really am. The two of us are so great together when we are rambling through wild woodlands and wild moorland. We can be ourselves. But, I know it's true that we must be different when we are in civilization -- on guard and alert, as it were.
They don’t listen to tough they only listen to calm confidence. You’ll notice people who are high energy, insecure, nervous, distrustful tend to have high energy bad behaved, reactive dogs because the dog is mirroring the human. If you want to achieve a proper relationship with your dog you have to do the inner work first. Become calm confident love.
I love these videos, another fantastic result. I've got a 9 year old Carolina dog who was very reactive to other dogs and people just like this Cane Corso. Using Wills techniques and realising it's all my own doing, my dog is now a completely different girl (after just over a week at this point) who is a joy to walk, we can meet other dog owners and stand around chatting while she just sits there happily looking up to me. She's also more loving around the home which is a nice byproduct. Her new behaviour is fantastic and I thank Will and his team very very much for making these videos, and making possible something that I never thought I would see.
My little 5 month corso is showing some behavior similar, no aggression, but fear barking and backing up when confronted with something/someone that makes her nervous. I stay calm and hopefully she grows out of this. But I'm not sure how firm to be with a 5 month old
Glad to hear this can be done with older dogs. I have a 7 year old pitbull who is amazing except with other dogs. She used to be great and then she got sick and couldn’t socialize for a few months and is extremely reactive to other dogs ever since. She’s wonderful with people and children and is sweet as can be it’s just other dogs, will definitely try these techniques to get her back to sweet overall. She’s not aggressive in the sense of wanting to fight, she’s just overly excited and it gets to the other dogs and that turns it into a fight usually. Hopefully me and the wife can start enjoying walks with her soon again.
Dude sweet dog. American dingos are cool AF. My mom had an aussie dingo mix that was mostly just dingo, only dog things he took were fur related and his shorter legs as far as I could tell. Coolest little personality.
Why do people who can't handle these breeds buy them ? I'm looking at re homing a Belgian malinos . I wanted a pup but there are so many of this breed abandoned I feel I must have a rescue
@@benben071 yeah I'm looking for an every hour of the day dog I live in the lake District work outside free time hiking fishing camping hunting . I'm 50 now so it's my last high drive dog and probably my last dog . I agree with you 100%
He's got some really good points. But for this whole video I kept thinking to myself (I know I'm gonna get hate for this) but why cut the damn ears like that?!!! They are chopped. I hate ears being cut an ears that are chopped are even worse! Why make your dog "look" mean? 🤦
Tough love. Much more of this is needed between owners and their dogs. My Corso is the most amazing dog. Got her at 4mths old with no socialization, previous owner was shameful. So much work, but SO rewarding. Calm confidence is key.
@@WitchOnABroomstick why anyway? You experiencing it? My girl isn't nervous, fearful or anxious she's very brave and curious! Insecure with us at first I'd agree. She loves to lunge at dogs which comes across as nasty when she's a mix of dominance and play, but I'm working on that. Used to bite her lead at first but rarely barks. I can potentially help you if need!
Fantastic video will. First time I’ve seen a person openly state it’s owners that are the issue. Nice point saying they are also the solution. Loving the videos keep them up. 👍
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
Thank you so much for this video! I can absolutely relate and this has really helped me to understand how me lacking in confidence effects my walks with my dog! Although he’s not at all reactive I still worry! Thank you for posting this invaluable help!
Love this so much! People are the problem, I'd love to see more about how to project that confidence and leadership to the dogs. I feel like I'm doing well but he does get reactive although we're just starting getting out on walks and working on loose lead walking, not formal heel yet.
You are the best Will ! You explanation is great. You break it down for novice dog owners like myself. I have a medium sized rescue. After I got it home, second day I had him, he was aggressive towards people. It is through your videos I've learned the dog's mindset, and behavior's CAN be changed. I've just started training for loose leash and am confident in how to do it because of your videos. I've also been focusing on entering doorways first, and "planting the flag". Great training tips ! A BIG hello from New Jersey in the U.S.!
As a female with a larger dog who is human and dog aggressive this video was super helpful and I am realizing that I need to be more of a leader and confident to my dog to help him
Running into this same issue right now with my corso. He is 8months old he was socialized as a pup but has recently started reacting to other dogs and people. I tend to get nervous when we meet new people as he is so reactive and strong. (I know I am the problem.) Im just not sure how to snap out if that mind set to be able to properly guide him. Thank you for this video I’m going to try this in hopes I can get my boy back on the right path.
Every time I go for a walk with my Corso alone I get tense in areas I know there will be other dogs. I know it’s my fault. I hear you in the back of my mind saying take charge, have a lose arm, and shoulders back. We work every day together to become carefree and happy together on walks
Thanks man just adopted a 2 year old male Corso a week ago very fearful & timid when I first met him. My aunt has a male rot & was very aggressive towards him while he was still very scared & calm forcing him to be aggressive back & I believe since then he’s been stuck in that. Now he’s pretty antsy when others dogs are around & when people are walking by he starts to move around a lot, growl a little & try to go towards them. The other night we were on our usual walk & I believe he didn’t want to go this way we usually go. He began rubbing his snout on me which I noticed then kept trying to walk he stopped then started jumping on me then started gnawing on my arm a bit harder each time I kept pushing him off telling him no then once I started to walk in the direction back towards home he stopped. Grew up with mainly pit bulls having them in the backyard but this is my first Corso & started walking out in public hopefully your video’s & some others will help until I get him into a program.
First time Corso owner. I've really learned alot about controlling this beautiful dog. At three months old he acts like a gentleman. He will always be on guard but now its controllable. Thank you sir.
I’m happy I came across this video because I now realize proper fitting of a prong collar, proper stance and what I need to change in my actions so my cane Corso knows what I expect. Love cane Corso more now that I own one after years of wanting one. They’re unbelievably great breeds if trained right, as is any breed. Thank you for posting such great videos.
Great vid. I recently adopted a highly intelligent but highly reactive dog. Although progress has been good and he is calming down, it only works when I’m projecting high confidence. Looking forward to turning it up to 11 in tomorrow’s session with my good boi. Love the channel.
It's funny watching Cesar Milan for years when at a families home treating their dogs problems, the smart people would say "Cesar hasn't come here to train our dog I think he's come here to train us"! Spot on advice but such people can't do it on their own.
Hey Will, with the chnage of direction technique I find my German pointer ,Greyhound cross puppy gets frustrated and starts to bite at the leash and starts to chew it and try to pull it away. Any suggestions on why this is the case or how to manage it?
Try rewarding more! If you command: "Pointer come" and make the turn. -If you didnt need to pull, praise and reward! Make sure he/she knows how to heel walk in the first place before you try these techniques. Also only use these slipleashes/collars if you know how to propperly use them, its not recoomended to use them on puppies if you aren't trained well using it. Make it exciting for your dog to listen to you, start teaching heel walking without the leash first and bring it outdoors afterwards.
Our Xolo is REALLY excited and reactive which makes me struggle to walk him or make him focus on me and obey me when there are distractions. I tried every dog training channel on youtube and sure treats and toys work, but most trainers dont show punishment / corrections that are stiff enough for Xolito. You fixed everything, I feel like I know now how to correct, at what intensity, and when. THANK YOU I can now walk him without my elbow being pulled out of socket lmao also nice Mjollnir and perfect attitude, I suppose you are into what I am into. Love it
I have a question, how would you deal with a boxer dog obsessed with eating bees? Every time I approach the issue seems to get worse. And my dog is getting stung in dangerous places more and more often.
Sorry in advance but im gonna steal your line "if you're the problem the nice thing is you're also the solution". I always find it hard to explain to people that theyre not bad dog owners for making mistakes, especially since most mistakes come from a place of love w a lack of knowledge. And more importantly that we need to just forget the past and move forward
I have a Pomeranian and will not use a pronged collar. My Pom has been attacked by a large dog as a puppy on a walk and now has developed a large fear towards dogs. She will chase after and bark hysterically at them. She’s close to 7 months old. Any advice for training in this sort of way - without using collars?
Leash work skills and commands like Here and sit are important with reactivity..a owner who knows how to walk with their dog will have the confidence, time to observe and scan their environment in order to take action before the reactivity shows itself !!
I got a 2 1/2 years old Cane Corso her problem. I got her when she was about a year, so her training is kinda late. She don’t like loud noises and passing trucks or cars. She tries to attack them.. She don’t know that’s dangerous.. I think it started by lawnmowers and other loud motors when she was younger.. how do I stop this?
This is amazing, i have a Staff x German boxer, he is like this when he is on the lead. I try to folow these videos. Just cant afford a behaviour specialist 😣 just have to be mega on it.
Love this video. I have a 14 month old Cane Corso (the sister to my male) that was sent to me from Ohio because they couldn't handle her. It was that or probably a rescue. She has the same problem. And is worse behind a fence or barrier. Including a crate. She is coming along great now. I've had her since December. I'm one of your students in your academy and looking forward to having her be a full rounded canine.
Great info we have 4 cane Corso and I’ve been trying to explain this to my wife I sent her this video to let her see you explain it because she makes me walk them always because they pull her and they don’t do that to me
In 95% of problem situations it’s the human that’s the issue. He’s 199% correct. I know that in the issues I currently have with one of my dogs it was me that was the issue. We’re now all doing great. So please people, do not be offended by constructive criticism. Take it. Learn. And change. Your pup will love you for it!
Hi Will, just picked up my Cane Corso from 4 wks of board and train, trainer said I need a behaviorist, thats she's not a usual Cane Corso, meaning she's unpredictable..do you know anyone I can contact here on Oahu, Hawai'i?? Trainer said it will get worse and I may have to put her down...she just turned one years old.
Any suggestions for a puppy who seems to be afraid/aggressive towards men? He is fine with my husband now but when he first meets men he grawls and will nip if I'm not holding him or have him right by me
I PLAN ON GETTING 2 CORSOS AND TAKING YOUR PERFECT PUPPY COURSE. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I LOOK TO YOU FOR SO MANY ANSWERS IN BECOMING A GREAT LEADER!!
FionaClaire was a stray that landed on my lap unexpectedly. I was challenged everyday by her wanting to lead me. She is pure muscle. I am not afraid of her. I stick my full hand in her mouth to yank out pinecones, palm frawns and ground garbage all the time. I did have to resort to a training collar that I pretty much only beep and vibrate. This was due to her busting out of a leash and being able to chase cars at 35 miles an hour. She is a gorgeous runner regardless of me being petrified watching her chase cars on a busy street. Her static level is the lowest 1 out of a 100. I used it on myself to make sure it wasn't painful. I might have to use shock once every two weeks if that to remind her that my voice is the leader. I take this collar choice very seriously, it was hard for me. The beep and vibrate are an extra long hand that reminds her that I am here, I got this. She now checks with me instead of nearly yanking my arm out of the socket when cars pass. She now listens 99% of the time when I tell her to heal or stop. She has always been social with people and other dogs that I usually have to gauge the other human and their dog's body language. Very slowly she is becoming a chill dog. You can find many beep, vibrate, sonic, and static options. Never ever use static on aggression. I use it on her car chasing obsession. FionaClaire actually huffs at me now as if to express 'fine' with voice commands.
Our nacho is as big as her if not a bit bigger , he is a cross between a dog de bordeaux and a scotts American Bulldog and he is an excellent guard and family pet he went through a stage of being a bit growly with other dogs but more we socialised him with the right dogs he is turning out fine . Your videos are helping me out though so thanks . 👍
Too many people acquiring dogs that they have no idea how to train...with incidences of dog attacks on the rise people really need to do their research before they choose a breed....shame about the cropped ears, barbaric in my opinion!....well done Will, you know your breeds....🐕
I have a 1 year old Aussie who has 6 different incidents of attacking other animals out of fear. I know it's my fault and I'm doing what I can to work with her. I get upset when she's labeled as a bad dog because it's not her fault, it's on me.
Great Video as always Will am recently on a prong with my German shepherd and it's working with heel work her thing that makes her pull is a squirrel so am waiting tosnee one to help correct and re direct her mind off that 2 me
You need to stop her before she has a chance to react to the squirrel. I know it’s hard, but you (instead of the dog) need to be scanning for the squirrel. As soon as you see it, check her. Is she starting to notice??? Then she gets a good solid leash correction to tell her”knock it off”. No yelling, you remain calm. If you get your timing down, and give a correction that is solid enough to get your point across, you should be able to fix this in about 2-3 tries. Seriously. I stopped my “chase every rabbit-squirrel-cat and face plant Mom in the grass” Rottweiler in 2 corrections. And that lasted for the rest of his life.
@@1packatak I am constantly looking for them in the woods especially this time of year with them. I will get there with her when I correct her on other things with the prong she gets it straight away so am. Sure like you said few corrections and hopefully she will get it
Cane Corso are not for everyone. Just lost my 11yo girl (90kg) and she was the sweetest best dog ever even if she was crossed with Presso canario to create a fight dog ( story short she was seized by the police at 7mo) adopted her at 9mo. But Cane Corso are trend dog, fashion dog and here it is. 10 years ago no one ever heard of Cane Corso now they are everywhere (just my office when I left I had 5 colleagues who adopted one,... including one brought from Moscow by private jet... cough cough mr ceo). This said, this dog is not for her.
I do wish breeders/importers would stop cropping and docking! I get docking in working gun and such dogs due to injury but why mutate their ears? My 5 month old puppy has beautiful floopy ears and it is part of her character. Beautiful corso in video and I'm looking forward to seeing my pup, Ouija, when she's fully grown
I know Corso faces - as soon as I saw this dog's intense crazy eyes you can see the magnitude of her fear (even though she looks and probably would be dangerous)
Tried to post to you on Instagram but - Hi Will, I’ve been watching all your videos , we have purchased the slip lead and your 7 days to perfect heel. We have a 35 pound golden doodle . He has been a nightmare pulling , resource guarding and jumping up at everyone . I realise now that this is because I haven’t acted like a leader for him . Yinni is great but my wife is pregnant and she now doesn’t want to walk him. Whilst trying to do the training with the slip lead on Yinni has a tendency to grab , growl and bite the lead. I then lose control and don’t know what to do from that point . I end up leaving him to it. Any tips you have for this? Thanks,
Hello Will. My girl goes for my cats when they are feeding on the side. This is after she has been fed. We have been acting on and following your guidance. She cuddles up with the cats and plays with them at all other times good is the trigger.. I can pick up her bowl, take her food away..etc I’ve had major improvements following your guidance and regaining our connection. Aisla is so intelligent and not what I expected at all from an old thyme bulldog. I’ve worked with a variety of mastiffs for 23 years but I’m not sure how to resolve this issue.
Put the dog on a lead and prong collar at home when they're eating As soon as you see he is starting, work the same way as you see in this particular movie And feed the cats first This would be my idea
I am dealing with this too… how would you handle a dog like this at a cafe? I have mine on the floor next to me while sitting at the cafe and she barks at everyone also missing that social period because of COVID.
Taking her to a cafe where people want to relax and enjoy coffee and socialize puts the dog and other people under undue stress. She needs to be in obedience classes and socializing with other dogs with supervision. She should not be around people in an environment like a coffee shop. I am surprised that you were not asked to leave immediately. There are places that are dog friendly but that is referring well behaved dogs.
You need to work on who is in charge. He needs to work for everything he gets. Nothing in his life is free. No free petting. No free food. He works for it all. He needs tons of structure. You set the rules. He cannot exit or enter the door without your full consent. He cannot come out of his crate without your approval. He cannot go down stairs without you allowing it. And limit his interaction with the other dogs until he has his attitude adjusted.
Can you please come here to Australia 🇦🇺 and train my boy he is a Rottweiler but he never was socialised as I rescued him from bad owners if you know anyone good here please let me know thank you 😊
I love how he's telling people "this is something wrong with you" without it being condescending or insulting
Agree. Combined with being very correct with his "diagnose".
There is nothing wrong with us. We have had 6 cane corsos. get a puppy from a breeder, not a rescue corso from the pound or other. we have had nothing but misery with Rescue corsos, to the tune of $100K.

That was really helpful. I‘m struggling with the same issues with my rottweiler and it’s really exhausting.
I have much respect for you as a person. I can really tell you are a good man.
Hi, the explanation of how to walk and turn is wonderful. It is critical for a handler. TY

Great vid. I recently adopted a highly intelligent but highly reactive dog. Although progress has been good and he is calming down, it only works when I’m projecting high confidence. Looking forward to turning it up to 11 in tomorrow’s session with my good boi. Love the channel.
That was an incredibly empowering video. Amazing dog training lessons and life advice! Wow!
You are never mean Uncle Will, but good for you for trying - always the great people trainer to help the dogs.
Word! Owners training.
Wishing the best for Zilla and her owner ❤️ crushed this one Will. Lots of fun to be there
She’s beautiful 😍, all she needs is her owner to be a better leader. I love this breed . Literally changed my life and our other pets life ❤️💪
It's funny watching Cesar Milan for years when at a families home treating their dogs problems, the smart people would say "Cesar hasn't come here to train our dog I think he's come here to train us"! Spot on advice but such people can't do it on their own.
Very helpful! Thanks, dude.
What a beautiful, wonderful lady. The owner looks good too
I dont even own a dog and I had to give this video a like. I love how you emphasize the important keys to leading a dog.
Great video Will thank you.😊
The dogs don’t need much training in this case. The humans need the training.
Great videos mate, thank you!
Hey Will, with the chnage of direction technique I find my German pointer ,Greyhound cross puppy gets frustrated and starts to bite at the leash and starts to chew it and try to pull it away. Any suggestions on why this is the case or how to manage it?
Try rewarding more! If you command: "Pointer come" and make the turn. -If you didnt need to pull, praise and reward! Make sure he/she knows how to heel walk in the first place before you try these techniques. Also only use these slipleashes/collars if you know how to propperly use them, its not recoomended to use them on puppies if you aren't trained well using it. Make it exciting for your dog to listen to you, start teaching heel walking without the leash first and bring it outdoors afterwards.
Feels like a much deeper life lesson here. Freaking amazing stuff!!
Our Xolo is REALLY excited and reactive which makes me struggle to walk him or make him focus on me and obey me when there are distractions. I tried every dog training channel on youtube and sure treats and toys work, but most trainers dont show punishment / corrections that are stiff enough for Xolito. You fixed everything, I feel like I know now how to correct, at what intensity, and when. THANK YOU I can now walk him without my elbow being pulled out of socket lmao
also nice Mjollnir and perfect attitude, I suppose you are into what I am into. Love it
Thank you I needed to learn how to handle my small dogs when I an walking them at a park and neighborhood.
Fantastic breakdown.
I have a question, how would you deal with a boxer dog obsessed with eating bees? Every time I approach the issue seems to get worse. And my dog is getting stung in dangerous places more and more often.
Tough love is necessary
Sorry in advance but im gonna steal your line "if you're the problem the nice thing is you're also the solution". I always find it hard to explain to people that theyre not bad dog owners for making mistakes, especially since most mistakes come from a place of love w a lack of knowledge. And more importantly that we need to just forget the past and move forward
one of the best videos yet mate
My God, ears cropped, tail cut off, imported as a baby, what are we doing to these animals?
I have a Pomeranian and will not use a pronged collar. My Pom has been attacked by a large dog as a puppy on a walk and now has developed a large fear towards dogs. She will chase after and bark hysterically at them. She’s close to 7 months old. Any advice for training in this sort of way - without using collars?
Excellent video!
This guy is a real good trainer
so basically cane corso is not aggressive, the owner is just afraid of every situation and cane corso is being cane corso
Leash work skills and commands like Here and sit are important with reactivity..a owner who knows how to walk with their dog will have the confidence, time to observe and scan their environment in order to take action before the reactivity shows itself !!
Cracking honest job 👍👏
I got a 2 1/2 years old Cane Corso her problem. I got her when she was about a year, so her training is kinda late. She don’t like loud noises and passing trucks or cars. She tries to attack them.. She don’t know that’s dangerous.. I think it started by lawnmowers and other loud motors when she was younger.. how do I stop this?
This is amazing, i have a Staff x German boxer, he is like this when he is on the lead. I try to folow these videos. Just cant afford a behaviour specialist 😣 just have to be mega on it.
Love this video. I have a 14 month old Cane Corso (the sister to my male) that was sent to me from Ohio because they couldn't handle her. It was that or probably a rescue. She has the same problem. And is worse behind a fence or barrier. Including a crate. She is coming along great now. I've had her since December. I'm one of your students in your academy and looking forward to having her be a full rounded canine.
Great info we have 4 cane Corso and I’ve been trying to explain this to my wife I sent her this video to let her see you explain it because she makes me walk them always because they pull her and they don’t do that to me
This is brilliant to show that dogs need a pack leader. 👍👍 well done. Love this.
I just bought a cable Cirso pup. He's 2 months old and hates being picked up. He's bitten and growled at me.
In 95% of problem situations it’s the human that’s the issue. He’s 199% correct. I know that in the issues I currently have with one of my dogs it was me that was the issue. We’re now all doing great. So please people, do not be offended by constructive criticism. Take it. Learn. And change. Your pup will love you for it!
Will really is in the dogs mind
Hi Will, just picked up my Cane Corso from 4 wks of board and train, trainer said I need a behaviorist, thats she's not a usual Cane Corso, meaning she's unpredictable..do you know anyone I can contact here on Oahu, Hawai'i?? Trainer said it will get worse and I may have to put her down...she just turned one years old.
Any suggestions for a puppy who seems to be afraid/aggressive towards men? He is fine with my husband now but when he first meets men he grawls and will nip if I'm not holding him or have him right by me
I PLAN ON GETTING 2 CORSOS AND TAKING YOUR PERFECT PUPPY COURSE. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I LOOK TO YOU FOR SO MANY ANSWERS IN BECOMING A GREAT LEADER!!
FionaClaire was a stray that landed on my lap unexpectedly. I was challenged everyday by her wanting to lead me. She is pure muscle. I am not afraid of her. I stick my full hand in her mouth to yank out pinecones, palm frawns and ground garbage all the time. I did have to resort to a training collar that I pretty much only beep and vibrate. This was due to her busting out of a leash and being able to chase cars at 35 miles an hour. She is a gorgeous runner regardless of me being petrified watching her chase cars on a busy street. Her static level is the lowest 1 out of a 100. I used it on myself to make sure it wasn't painful. I might have to use shock once every two weeks if that to remind her that my voice is the leader. I take this collar choice very seriously, it was hard for me. The beep and vibrate are an extra long hand that reminds her that I am here, I got this. She now checks with me instead of nearly yanking my arm out of the socket when cars pass. She now listens 99% of the time when I tell her to heal or stop. She has always been social with people and other dogs that I usually have to gauge the other human and their dog's body language. Very slowly she is becoming a chill dog. You can find many beep, vibrate, sonic, and static options. Never ever use static on aggression. I use it on her car chasing obsession. FionaClaire actually huffs at me now as if to express 'fine' with voice commands.
Nice. Keeping it real.
Our nacho is as big as her if not a bit bigger , he is a cross between a dog de bordeaux and a scotts American Bulldog and he is an excellent guard and family pet he went through a stage of being a bit growly with other dogs but more we socialised him with the right dogs he is turning out fine . Your videos are helping me out though so thanks .
👍
Too many people acquiring dogs that they have no idea how to train...with incidences of dog attacks on the rise people really need to do their research before they choose a breed....shame about the cropped ears, barbaric in my opinion!....well done Will, you know your breeds....🐕
No need to crop ears or doc tails. U are taking away the animals ability to properly communicate
I have a 1 year old Aussie who has 6 different incidents of attacking other animals out of fear. I know it's my fault and I'm doing what I can to work with her. I get upset when she's labeled as a bad dog because it's not her fault, it's on me.
Amazing!
Great video
That's a beautiful Corso puppy!
2:42... Correction...
I just love your common sense!
Gorgeous dog!
Great Video as always Will am recently on a prong with my German shepherd and it's working with heel work her thing that makes her pull is a squirrel so am waiting tosnee one to help correct and re direct her mind off that 2 me
You need to stop her before she has a chance to react to the squirrel. I know it’s hard, but you (instead of the dog) need to be scanning for the squirrel.
As soon as you see it, check her. Is she starting to notice??? Then she gets a good solid leash correction to tell her”knock it off”. No yelling, you remain calm.
If you get your timing down, and give a correction that is solid enough to get your point across, you should be able to fix this in about 2-3 tries.
Seriously.
I stopped my “chase every rabbit-squirrel-cat and face plant Mom in the grass” Rottweiler in 2 corrections. And that lasted for the rest of his life.
@@1packatak I am constantly looking for them in the woods especially this time of year with them. I will get there with her when I correct her on other things with the prong she gets it straight away so am. Sure like you said few corrections and hopefully she will get it
Cane Corso are not for everyone. Just lost my 11yo girl (90kg) and she was the sweetest best dog ever even if she was crossed with Presso canario to create a fight dog ( story short she was seized by the police at 7mo) adopted her at 9mo. But Cane Corso are trend dog, fashion dog and here it is. 10 years ago no one ever heard of Cane Corso now they are everywhere (just my office when I left I had 5 colleagues who adopted one,... including one brought from Moscow by private jet... cough cough mr ceo). This said, this dog is not for her.
I do wish breeders/importers would stop cropping and docking! I get docking in working gun and such dogs due to injury but why mutate their ears? My 5 month old puppy has beautiful floopy ears and it is part of her character. Beautiful corso in video and I'm looking forward to seeing my pup, Ouija, when she's fully grown
Hi there. Just wanted to ask. You mention prong in the video. Is that a special type of lead or something? Thanks
Collar
I wish you were in the US Id come visit with you Bout my dog
That is so brave.... it takes a "good pair" to face a dog like that when it is growling.... i was worried just by watching this video😋
I love the way you train dogs 😁 .....and people
I know Corso faces - as soon as I saw this dog's intense crazy eyes you can see the magnitude of her fear (even though she looks and probably would be dangerous)
Tried to post to you on Instagram but -
Hi Will, I’ve been watching all your videos , we have purchased the slip lead and your 7 days to perfect heel.
We have a 35 pound golden doodle . He has been a nightmare pulling , resource guarding and jumping up at everyone .
I realise now that this is because I haven’t acted like a leader for him . Yinni is great but my wife is pregnant and she now doesn’t want to walk him.
Whilst trying to do the training with the slip lead on Yinni has a tendency to grab , growl and bite the lead. I then lose control and don’t know what to do from that point . I end up leaving him to it.
Any tips you have for this?
Thanks,
Does anyone know how to contact will please
Hello Will. My girl goes for my cats when they are feeding on the side. This is after she has been fed. We have been acting on and following your guidance.
She cuddles up with the cats and plays with them at all other times good is the trigger.. I can pick up her bowl, take her food away..etc
I’ve had major improvements following your guidance and regaining our connection. Aisla is so intelligent and not what I expected at all from an old thyme bulldog. I’ve worked with a variety of mastiffs for 23 years but I’m not sure how to resolve this issue.
Put the dog on a lead and prong collar at home when they're eating
As soon as you see he is starting, work the same way as you see in this particular movie
And feed the cats first
This would be my idea
@@rozek118 thank you
I feel like shes saying... yeah, right, ya, okie dookie. With a glazed over look in her eyes and bring in the clowns, playing in her head.😭😂😬
She is such a beautiful girl. The owner looks good too.
I am dealing with this too… how would you handle a dog like this at a cafe? I have mine on the floor next to me while sitting at the cafe and she barks at everyone also missing that social period because of COVID.
Taking her to a cafe where people want to relax and enjoy coffee and socialize puts the dog and other people under undue stress. She needs to be in obedience classes and socializing with other dogs with supervision. She should not be around people in an environment like a coffee shop. I am surprised that you were not asked to leave immediately. There are places that are dog friendly but that is referring well behaved dogs.
Yeah you shouldn’t take her to a cafe until you have her reactivity under control… you need to work up to social settings like cafes etc
What can I do if my cane corso is too much of a scaredy cat?
Have a Corso that is fearful and protective. Some serious corrections really helped.... but he will still attack the other dogs in our home.
You need to work on who is in charge. He needs to work for everything he gets. Nothing in his life is free. No free petting. No free food. He works for it all.
He needs tons of structure. You set the rules. He cannot exit or enter the door without your full consent. He cannot come out of his crate without your approval. He cannot go down stairs without you allowing it.
And limit his interaction with the other dogs until he has his attitude adjusted.
Can you please come here to Australia 🇦🇺 and train my boy he is a Rottweiler but he never was socialised as I rescued him from bad owners if you know anyone good here please let me know thank you 😊
Bad owners create bad dogs
