IMO I don't think this guy is all that bad, he seems like a fairly good dog, just extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately no one will ever give him a pass because of his breed/size. This was a GOOD session
yeah when my rottweiler corrects another dog after being humped for 30 times people freak the hell out, scared of the aggressive rottweiler. Its something you have to deal with unfortunately
It takes a few hyper sensationalized incidents with certain breeds to ruin it for everyone. But, we are like that with each other. Some people, because of the actions of a few, are branded "super predators." It makes sense we feel the same way about certain dog breeds, unfortunately.
I've 4 Cane Corso's and nobody comes near us in any dog park etc.......its extremely sad. My dogs mean the World to me. So I took it upon myself to educate other dog owners in the park and show them my 4 KIDS ( dogs ) 😉 and how amazing they are! Now the run around off leash in 5he parks with all the other dogs. It took me 3 years. I'd do it everyday for them. The Internet and drugs dealers and gangs ruined Strong breed reputations along with owners that haven't a clue about the breed 🙄 These Dogs are so loyal, brave, strong, protector, and so gentle even with newborns it absolutely amazing. They are very intelligent mind and emotionally!
@@zooabsurd6227had my rottie off leash and was walking by a woman that had 2 dogs off leash and only when they were super close she suddenly says “oh yeah that one loves other dogs and that one hates them” as my rottie was interacting with the good dog so I instantly grabbed my rotties collar and walked off. I was not taking any chances I was not having my well behaved young man be attacked and kill another aggressive dog and be put down when it’s not his fault. People are so stupid me included I don’t have my dog off leash anymore I just can’t trust the people in my area.
I'm 67 years old and a little over 20 years ago I bought a gray female Cane Corso puppy I named Avalanche. Biggest puppy of the litter that grew into a 110 lb monster of a dog. I got a Cane Corso because I thought they were cool and scary looking. Knowing what I know now, back then I should of never had a Cane Corso, because I didn't really know much about the breed. The breeder told me to have plenty of chew toys for her. Apparently I didn't have enough because she tore up my furniture in my house. I didn't really care because I loved her so much. So I raised her like I do with any dog I've ever had. Socialization is the key for any dog! Avalanche loved cats, kittens, small dogs and she loved my friend's big parrots. What a wonderful dog she became! She wasn't to crazy about big dogs her size. But she had no bad incidents with any animal. Avalanche was so smart she was easy to train. She was very protective of me, but she loved people and children. I will never forget about my journey with Avalanche. I do not believe in dog bans! They need to ban terrible owners from ever owning a dog again! I have owned several so-called dangerous dog breeds. I have never had a dog that bit someone. They all were people dogs! Now that I am older and wiser my advice to future dog owners. Do your research on the breed you are interested in to make sure the dog will fit in with your lifestyle. My last dog past away in October 2022. I do not run out getting a replacement dog. You can always get a good dog, but you cannot replace a past beloved dog. So don't even try! Last week I just adopted a 1 1/2 year old female Australian catte dog named Koda from a local animal shelter. I have been extremely blessed with owning great dogs and cats. With Koda I hit the lottery! What a wonderful dog! Koda took to me like white on rice. Koda will probably be my last dog due to my age. My sister found Koda for me, so If I should die, my sister will take Koda. My sister just loves Koda as everybody does that meets her.
You're so right David. I'm not far off your vintage. Have had bully, guard breeds, herding breeds. I now have two Australian Terriers before that a Blue Heeler. Socialisation is the key. It's not everything but it's pretty close
What a beautiful healthy Cane Corso! This is just my take but he looks a bit unsure and uncomfortable and reacts to communicate to other dogs or people to get away so he can feel less unsure. Once he got more comfortable, he was less anxious and tolerates the situation. That’s positive! I love that little dog. You could tell he just wanted to get to know the cane corso. Thx to the owners for allowing Joel to videotape! Gorgeous dog!
This dog is pretty good, the owner has been working on him you can tell, the dog checks in with him a lot. He seems like he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but he is weary. He’s beautiful! I like that he has self restraint.
I would love to see the progress on this dog, he's so stressed out being with other dogs, it would do my heart good to see him at least comfortable but maybe even one day playing with them!
I would be surprised to see a follow up video showing success with this dog. Without a finished dog, videos like this are kind of useless. The advice may be correct but without a follow-up there's no way to know
@@RealMeatyBallsJoel actually brought this up in one of his podcasts. He said that people say they want follow-up, but they actually don't. I think there's really only one way to do it effectively, which is to hold off on posting the video until they have follow-up they can include at the end. A less effective way, but something he mentioned possibly doing, is a compilation video. But the reality is that people aren't going to bring their dog back to him if the dog is doing well; especially if they've driven for hours or even from out of state. Even more so when you consider that they have to pay for the block of time they get with Joel. Unlike Animal Planet shows, they don't have the means to go out and make contact with the owners in their own home weeks or months later to give the satisfying follow-up.
The dog was constatnly looking at his person for guidance and without any training and socializing still has an amazing character and even self-corrects/calms. What a testamont to the breed and breeder. Cane corsos are just amazing 😍 Thank you for working with and helping them!
The dog was constantly checking on the owners. Didn't even run in the field. I don't know if it's the breed or what. It seems like he only needs to get used to things and isn't too bad.
It's the breed My cane corso follows me around the house and really never wants to be to far away from me. When im home he stays out of his kennel even when i have company. But when i leave town my cousin watches over him and the dog just stays in the kennel even though the door is open
These owners are already on the ball! What a great looking cane Corso! He's just gorgeous. Wonderful to watch these owners and their dogs behavior in this video, thank you all!
Absolutely gorgeous and also absolutely scary-looking dog with some toddler attitude at 09:22 when he got corrected 😂 His barks and growls are something else. Sure the owners will never ever face intruders lol
Because a cane corso could f-k him up and he knows it. Very powerful and strong dogs. But big babies too. That dog just wanted to be around dad because he was insecure and that’s due to under socializing. But their guarding instinct is so strong that they will kill you if they feel you are a threat.
Love this, if that dog genuinely wanted to get to the fence it would be dragging that owner towards it rather than popping towards it, hoping to scaring the other dog (Prince) off. Great example of having to get a big dog through the fear into some learning. Please do a follow up film.
Owner seemed great with him! We expect our dogs to get on with other dogs but us humans sometimes struggle to get on with other humans at times! Let’s not forget what these dogs were used for,guard dogs, hunting dogs and protecting cattle. I love all dogs, have theses dogs got the patience if not exercised and cooped up in a small environment with young children, I don’t know?! Great video Joel! 😁👍
What a handsome fella! He looks exactly like my Cane Corso, Jesse just a different color. My big guy was a sandy fawn. Had him for 11 wonderful years! Lost him to cancer a few years back. The owner's are great with this dog. The more he is worked with and desensitized, the better he should get. Great job & nice video!
Joel is SO quick and responsive - that first lunge/bark with the yellow dog in the pool area was great ... I have a hard time giving 2 sharp corrections at once! He juggles so many things at once, it's so helpful to watch ... so skilled. I love how he talks sweet to them after, especially after, a rough correction. The little dog at the end might have said, "I aint putting my feet down in here with that monster! Airlift me outta here, please ..."
Joel, outstanding video. I've been training dogs for a long time, and I learn so much, show dogs and service dogs and dog grooming for 53 yrs. Sensitive to body language, and a person who learns so much from you and also to the owners reaction to the dogs behavior. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. (Me, I'm 67 years old). 😁
Beautiful looking cane corso. He's still a big puppy, with a bit of time and joels training along with persistence from the owner, he will be a good dog. 💙
Hahah It’s gotta be tough being built/bred to “Hulk Smash!” And then have to hang around with nice people and Goldens. LOL He’s a perfectly honest dog.
I love this video and the reasoning behind letting him "get away with" some bad behaviors. Also, we were inches away from a falling into the pool blooper video
Could you do more videos about dogs body language forward human? Lips lick, looking or looking away and etc when is good when ia not good. I struggle with readingvmy dogs language during training. Thank you for all you do. I love your no nonsense!!
Beautiful dog 🙂. Love how Joel lets the dog work through it. Expression of self is part of the essence of every creature & we don’t have the right as guardians to only allow or listen to the nice & happy stuff our animals express & not deal with the negative or difficult emotions of our dogs. Also, always strikes me how there are so many little dogs with the same or worse issues as bigger ones, but people’s (owners & randoms) threshold of tolerance for behaviour is so much higher than for a cane corso, for example. I get the stakes are higher for everyone if a Cane Corso decides to be aggressive, but find it sad that in some cases smaller dogs with the same issues express loads of negative stuff but aren’t listened to, helped or corrected, thus spending more time in a negative state of mind.
Amazing video thank you! I can tell the owner really knows what he is doing. I'm also super intrigued by the concept of letting some behavior go, to let a dog with social issues get their emotion out. I would think it'd make it worse due to a lack of clarity for the dog but from the cases you post I can see it's working. You are really onto something there - it's like trauma healing in humans.
I think another reason letting the dog kind of get the behavior out in the beginning was effective because it can show the dog that the behavior is pointless and unnecessary/ won’t achieve anything anymore, whereas in the past it worked for the dog to get what it wanted (not meeting other dogs)
I love how much this dog (beautiful by the way) checks in with his owner. When he's barking: he gets a few out and looks up at his dude. He seems very well mannered. I do think i understand why "expressing " is what's topical here. The owner has done a great job at keeping his dog's attention.
Enjoying your channel and vids. I ran a doggy daycare for 10 years, it's amazing how poorly most dog owners read their dog's body language and behaviour. I watch your videos just for the dog-dog 'conversations', to read the dogs and see if I'm right. :) Had a Cane Corso that was terrified of everything, it took weeks to get her to start trusting me and the other dogs, without the other dogs I'm not sure it would have been possible. Was incredibly rewarding watching the boys approach her, play bow, offer their butts, and beg her to case them when eventually she did. :) Fear and excitement are always seen as aggression by the owners. Seeing the switch happen with them is almost as rewarding. Cheers.
He‘s is not bad, he has holdback and seems unsure, you can tell by how he looks at you and at the owner, when beeing corrected. Sadly a very typical corso behaviour nowadays. It often seem like a overreaction and than they dont know what to do.
Big boy reminds me of our family dog Hugo. Except Hugo gets so darn excited meeting other dogs that other owners think he's being aggressive, and other dogs get intimidated by his energy. Funny enough it was a Cane Corso that matched his energy and knocked him down a few pegs. Hugo loooved every bit of chase, play bites and getting pinned. He's no small dog either and being tossed around and tussling in the snow was the best day of his life. Slept like a pup the rest of the day 😂
Yeah those Cane Corsos can be so reserved, I have had run ins with 4 of them and 3 of them just never accepted me. The 4th did eventually warm up to the point where we could wrestle and actually have fun without being on guard. But man they are hard to break, they are TOO serious and stoic! Gorgeus dogs tho! And I know there are many examples of very outgoing Cane Corsos. I wish I met more of those kinds 😂
They are generally outgoing with their "pack" (family/owners) and reserved with others. Depending on line/genetics and upbringing. We have a working italian line, dominant, high pray drive, high defense drive and athletic. He is very neutral to other dogs we walk by, even when taken to see my relatives dogs. Friendly to family and friends he grew up around. Neutral to everyone else.
My corso is 1.5 yr old and she is just indifferent to strangers....either way she doesn't care, but I have worked so hard to keep her good with other dogs, and it is continual. But I see her in this dog
@@rendenellenberger5262 Yeah and I do prefer a "serious" dog that does not see strangers as their new best friend like for example most golden retrievers does. That is why I prefer guarding breeds in general. But (for me) the Rottweiler is a better balance, they CAN be very serious but most of the time they are either being goofballs or begging for a cuddle 😂
@@drec5174 thats where my dogs line is not the best, her nerves are high even at the sight of other dogs....she takes a lot of correction to calm her down and for some reason better off leash with an e collar. But that makes others a little nervous but I live very rural so I can at least work with her. They are cool dogs but deserve a different sort to raise them proper
@rendenellenberger5262 we signed up for a year of weekly group balanced training with ours. Will still go on occasion still (bought a lifetime membership). Plus group "bite" class on occasion just for impulse and pray drive building. Both helped a lot both with impulse control and getting used to being near other dogs that are moving, barking, etc. If you have really good obedience, then control of fear/pray drive ect will follow. I also find corrections much more valuable when the dog knows what they are supposed to be doing. These dogs are tons of time to get right for sure. And expensive as heck from a good breeder.
Awesome to watch. Recently spoke to a Cane Corso breeder and they truly are gentle giants BUT they do require a lot of perfect socialization and guidance thru out their lives. It was very clear that what he showed was more fear reactivity towards the other dogs probably because of early incidents. I think if you have this dog for longer he would start playing with the other dogs, it can take weeks before traumatized dogs start warming up and playing with other dogs because of their social anxiety and/or personality, and breed.
Love your videos! Love to see these type of videos that address big dogs that do have some reaction issues but not necessarily are vicious or anything to that level. We met a few months ago in Oside and you really help me guide my Dogo Argentino and Jindo just from watching your online stuff. It's good to know that letting a dog get a little emotion out before a correction can be okay in the right scenario. My dogo is super sweet with ALL people, and only get's reactionary with dogs when the other dog is pulling or growling or lunging towards us. If it's a well behaved/mannered dog she usually is totally fine. Sometimes she get's a little too excited and will bark/scream at the other dog and I've been correcting her for it, but now I'm curious if maybe I let her just get a tiny bit of emotion out and address the situation from there maybe it'd help her realize meeting dogs is okay and she doesn't have to scream at them first out of excitement or fear or whatever it is. Cheers brother
Cane corsos are such big babies. This dog is so nervous and shy and just wants to be next to daddy and protect daddy. Not very confident and undersocialized. Cane corsos are hard dogs to get right and aren’t that forgiving with mistakes. And they are STUBBORN. Their instinct to take charge is SO STRONG. You definitely have to have a stronger will than the dog and not let him get away with anything. Like I said, hard dog to get right and A LOT of work. These dogs are a full time job for people with strong personalities. Not for everyone
My uneducated opinion (I reserve the right to be wrong) The Cane looks like he doesn't know how he feels about other dogs yet. But he's on the verge of liking them? He's excited by dogs, hair up ... but tail is wagging, not stiff. These look like good signs.? Cudos to the owner for getting this Cane some help socializing him before his fear period is over and his bad impulses get more ingrained. I'd love to see more on this dog as he progresses. Also, at what age would you recommend getting pro. help with a pup like this? Agree that this owner does look like he can handle a dog like this, he just needs a little guidance.
If its your first guardian breed. 16wks as soon as you get vaccinations. You should find a good trainer. Not only for the dog but yourself. These dogs are so unlike other dogs. But to you their owner they are absolute sweethearts. So it can be hard to notice how they act to other people and dogs. And can be good to have that other outside help
I needed this, thank you. Trying to socialize my XL Bully. He was attacked by his siblings bad and we took him to the vet. I think it was called "litter mate syndrome, I think he's low key traumatized, this gives me hope 💯🙏🏾🤙🏾
Lol corsos are actually a stable breed, unlike the XL. Fighting breeds have dog aggression built into their DNA, as indicated by puppies attacking each other. It's a feature, not a bug.
My dobie is exactly like this with new dogs. She's only very friendly to the dogs she knows quite well. It is definitely challenging walking her when we pass by dogs she is unfamiliar with. I would love to see a part 2 of this video. It was really helpful
I'm definitely not a dog trainer or anything like that but at the start of the video when he met the first dog, I thought he looked scared. I know he barked and growled but he just seem scared to me
Great example of .. you don't need to like these other dogs .. but you have to be polite .. very much like in work... you don't have to like everyone.. but at least he polite.
I thought it’s as interesting as he met the little dog through the fence: started off a little rough (scared Beckman a bit!) but he ended up in a play bow with a wagging tail. That was very promising for an under socialized dog like this guy was.
Great video... Picked up some good info about correcting and being outside of the bubble... I had my corso do the same thing when my neighbor came out of the garage to say hi my corso was backing up to me touching me. All that time I was correcting him and I walked away while my wife talk to the neighbor. I need to start using the knew feature ... I do have a prone collar on him and bought a muzzle as well. Keep up the great video's
I have a Presale Canario. He's bitten a couple dogs in the past during uncontrolled meetings. He is great friends with my other two medium size dogs. He responds very well with a gentle leader on leach, but I can not envision him meeting other dogs because it takes a trained handler and dog on the other side as well. What I would really to train out of him is jumping up on the fence at the yappy little dogs next door.
niiiiiiiice. Really good work. Progress sometimes doesn't seem like much because we're in the middle of it, but what I saw is big. Big steps. Formative, certain, confidence building leading to his ability to control his own fears. Most people don't know this but fear is created in our minds so our minds can destroy it.
That little dog introduction was a great idea. My dog is like this guy, not a confident fellow. Put him with a little dog, he plays, put him with most big dogs and he gets defensive. He was doing zoomies with a Jack Russel yesterday and loves the floofy friendly golden types. Put a rottie or Prince near him and he just gets defensive. We just pick and choose and he gets to play with some other dogs. Agree with the take me away or take the other dog away that the dog is doing. I just take my dog away before he does get over threshold though, when I see he is going to go, we just turn instead. I don’t really want him to rehearse that behaviour so much.
Hopefully this baby makes a turnaround. Unfortunately with this breed and others alike if you don't start early with socialization it could be a hard road. Good luck four-legged good thoughts are with you.
We have a 7yr old intact Cane Corso .. he is our house and yard dog .. we live on a large cattle property with 17 working kelpies that are housed in a building in their runs away from the house .. they work almost all day everyday… Our Cane Corso loves being around the kelpies on the farm. However , our training with the Cane Corso was a completely different training experience as to training working dogs .. the corso’s are quite sensitive dogs and very loyal and alpha has to established early on.. we did not have him around the working dogs for around 6 months while we were training him and when we first introduced him to the working pack he was exactly like this .. after a few weeks he relaxed and calmed down and now is first in the truck or side by side to go down every morning to feed the kelpies .. he is not pushy with them and just blends in as the pack .. he loves watching them work and being with them if it’s only for an hour a day.. they are very intelligent and beautiful dogs but need to be trained correctly from the get go or they can very quickly be running the show.. this boy looks like his just unsure and nervous .. Joel has definitely been best choice for helping here .. he reads dogs so well
Another fantastic and educational video. You can tell the owner is a very good owner and will follow the advice and education to the letter. 12:14 Did he think water was solid ground? 😅😅Judging by how fast he wanted out, it looks like that's the first time he has went for a swim?
@@t16205 Cane Corso just like Presa Canario, Dogo Argentino, Boerboel, Bull Mastiff, Dogue de Bordeaux, Tosa Inu, Bully XL etc. Are Bandogs made into a breed.
My dog is like the golden retriever 24/7, but reacts like this corso when a dog lounges at them aggressively. (Except my dog will not bark, she will just lock her eyes onto the aggressive dog) She's the best dog I've ever owned, I just watch these videos because it's never bad to better educate one's self.
I don't know anything about dogs, but I'm learning a lot through this channel! And I don't know why, but I actually felt sorry for the big fella - he looked kinda sad - the 'gentle giant' tag seems appropriate here - really hope he gets to work out his issues - I can visualise him running round Beckman's place this time next year and rolling over to let all the other dogs play on him - hope it comes true for him 🤞🙏😊
Wow this was amazing because of the body language and the teaching! Would love to see follow-up footage. Would it be unusual for even good owners like this to progress on their own? Or will they likely schedule 1-2 more sessions with you till they get to where the pupper can be loose no muzzle around other dogs?
@@KdKoalaThe owner was good in that he recognized he was having a problem, found Joel and was willing to pay for the session, paid close attention to the teaching and began to institute the changes in training necessary to help this dog become more well-adjusted. I do agree with you that it looks like more sessions would be fantastic if financially feasible. Peace🐾💕
My brother has a pure bred cane corso. She is the sweetest dog. They look scary but they really can be sweet. They drool like a waterfall which can make them look like they are mean but they aren't. She's registered as a service dog.
He's undersocialized and insecure. Both with people and dogs. Clearly not really aggressive, even though he looks and sounds like he'll kill you, your family, and all of your ancestors. Plus his dad was able to hold him back easily with a flat collar and lead. He's a pretty chill dude, all things considered.
I was always taught that traing an owner is more important than training the dog. Once you train the owner the dog will follow. Basically you don't really train the dog you train the owner
IMO I don't think this guy is all that bad, he seems like a fairly good dog, just extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately no one will ever give him a pass because of his breed/size. This was a GOOD session

Love this, if that dog genuinely wanted to get to the fence it would be dragging that owner towards it rather than popping towards it, hoping to scaring the other dog (Prince) off. Great example of having to get a big dog through the fear into some learning. Please do a follow up film.
Prince would be breakfast
Loved the Jack Russel at 12.40,straight up to the fence,looked the corso in the eye as if to say,I don’t care how big you are😂
What a beautiful dog. I'm glad to see the owners are doing the right thing in learning how to read their dog and give correction.
Owner seemed great with him!
We expect our dogs to get on with other dogs but us humans sometimes struggle to get on with other humans at times!
Let’s not forget what these dogs were used for,guard dogs, hunting dogs and protecting cattle.
I love all dogs, have theses dogs got the patience if not exercised and cooped up in a small environment with young children, I don’t know?!
Great video Joel! 😁👍
Keep him away from my dog. Thats a dog that can easily kill another dog.
I have no idea what you just said.
Wow, really outstanding.
Excellent dog and his family too, and I love your insight too...
God Bless you always
I rate this guy so highly I haven’t seen no other dog trainer on youtube handle and work with a corso like this. Amazing patience.
I love the way Joel says ‘good boy!’
What a handsome fella! He looks exactly like my Cane Corso, Jesse just a different color. My big guy was a sandy fawn. Had him for 11 wonderful years! Lost him to cancer a few years back. The owner's are great with this dog. The more he is worked with and desensitized, the better he should get. Great job & nice video!
My sincere condolences for your loss. We have a 3 year old female we brought home from a no kill shelter 2 years ago.
Joel is SO quick and responsive - that first lunge/bark with the yellow dog in the pool area was great ... I have a hard time giving 2 sharp corrections at once! He juggles so many things at once, it's so helpful to watch ... so skilled. I love how he talks sweet to them after, especially after, a rough correction. The little dog at the end might have said, "I aint putting my feet down in here with that monster! Airlift me outta here, please ..."
Absolutely looovveee corsos in general! So cool when I get to see you work with them!
That bark and lunge gave me the impression that he knew his human wouldn't let him get in trouble.
This video actually has a direct timeline where you can see the Cane Corsos behavior adjust, it's actually incredible.
Good stuff Beckman.
Yes this was for sure a great video put together, I always love seeing the finite details of it all!
Joel, outstanding video. I've been training dogs for a long time, and I learn so much, show dogs and service dogs and dog grooming for 53 yrs. Sensitive to body language, and a person who learns so much from you and also to the owners reaction to the dogs behavior. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. (Me, I'm 67 years old). 😁
Beautiful looking cane corso. He's still a big puppy, with a bit of time and joels training along with persistence from the owner, he will be a good dog. 💙
Definitely would like to see a follow up video on this one around 3 to 6 months from now!!
What a lovely dog, clearly some way to go with his reactivity. Loved the Goldens, not only do they look friendly …they ARE friendly🇬🇧
Of all of your videos that I have watched, THIS is the best owner I have witnessed.
Hahah It’s gotta be tough being built/bred to “Hulk Smash!” And then have to hang around with nice people and Goldens. LOL He’s a perfectly honest dog.
I've had dogs for nearly 30 years and I learn from every one of your videos. Love your channel.
What a sweet dog. Even when barking he wasn't pulling and lunging. He was just unsure.
I love this video and the reasoning behind letting him "get away with" some bad behaviors. Also, we were inches away from a falling into the pool blooper video
Could you do more videos about dogs body language forward human? Lips lick, looking or looking away and etc when is good when ia not good. I struggle with readingvmy dogs language during training.
Thank you for all you do. I love your no nonsense!!
Interesting to see Joel’s techniques.!
Beautiful dog 🙂. Love how Joel lets the dog work through it. Expression of self is part of the essence of every creature & we don’t have the right as guardians to only allow or listen to the nice & happy stuff our animals express & not deal with the negative or difficult emotions of our dogs. Also, always strikes me how there are so many little dogs with the same or worse issues as bigger ones, but people’s (owners & randoms) threshold of tolerance for behaviour is so much higher than for a cane corso, for example. I get the stakes are higher for everyone if a Cane Corso decides to be aggressive, but find it sad that in some cases smaller dogs with the same issues express loads of negative stuff but aren’t listened to, helped or corrected, thus spending more time in a negative state of mind.
Amazing video thank you! I can tell the owner really knows what he is doing. I'm also super intrigued by the concept of letting some behavior go, to let a dog with social issues get their emotion out. I would think it'd make it worse due to a lack of clarity for the dog but from the cases you post I can see it's working. You are really onto something there - it's like trauma healing in humans.
I think another reason letting the dog kind of get the behavior out in the beginning was effective because it can show the dog that the behavior is pointless and unnecessary/ won’t achieve anything anymore, whereas in the past it worked for the dog to get what it wanted (not meeting other dogs)
Loved this video. We have a 6mo female Corso. It was sad to hear that he hasn’t been around dogs for a while (if ever).
I feel he is nervous, inquisitive but in correct handling could load him into an aggressive dog. He’s beautiful
I love how much this dog (beautiful by the way) checks in with his owner.
When he's barking: he gets a few out and looks up at his dude. He seems very well mannered.
I do think i understand why "expressing " is what's topical here.
The owner has done a great job at keeping his dog's attention.
His fur is up almost right through the video and yet he’s not crazy. He’s wired. The question is why.
Insecure, undersocialized guard dog breed coming into adulthood. This is exactly the behavior id expect from that.
Pretty hilarious when all the dogs simultaneous turned quickly around and walked away from the Cane Corso.. Maybe they are smart to be wary!
Enjoying your channel and vids. I ran a doggy daycare for 10 years, it's amazing how poorly most dog owners read their dog's body language and behaviour. I watch your videos just for the dog-dog 'conversations', to read the dogs and see if I'm right. :) Had a Cane Corso that was terrified of everything, it took weeks to get her to start trusting me and the other dogs, without the other dogs I'm not sure it would have been possible. Was incredibly rewarding watching the boys approach her, play bow, offer their butts, and beg her to case them when eventually she did. :) Fear and excitement are always seen as aggression by the owners. Seeing the switch happen with them is almost as rewarding. Cheers.
He‘s is not bad, he has holdback and seems unsure, you can tell by how he looks at you and at the owner, when beeing corrected. Sadly a very typical corso behaviour nowadays. It often seem like a overreaction and than they dont know what to do.
Big boy reminds me of our family dog Hugo. Except Hugo gets so darn excited meeting other dogs that other owners think he's being aggressive, and other dogs get intimidated by his energy.
Funny enough it was a Cane Corso that matched his energy and knocked him down a few pegs. Hugo loooved every bit of chase, play bites and getting pinned. He's no small dog either and being tossed around and tussling in the snow was the best day of his life. Slept like a pup the rest of the day 😂
Yeah those Cane Corsos can be so reserved, I have had run ins with 4 of them and 3 of them just never accepted me. The 4th did eventually warm up to the point where we could wrestle and actually have fun without being on guard. But man they are hard to break, they are TOO serious and stoic!
Gorgeus dogs tho! And I know there are many examples of very outgoing Cane Corsos. I wish I met more of those kinds 😂
They are generally outgoing with their "pack" (family/owners) and reserved with others. Depending on line/genetics and upbringing. We have a working italian line, dominant, high pray drive, high defense drive and athletic. He is very neutral to other dogs we walk by, even when taken to see my relatives dogs. Friendly to family and friends he grew up around. Neutral to everyone else.
My corso is 1.5 yr old and she is just indifferent to strangers....either way she doesn't care, but I have worked so hard to keep her good with other dogs, and it is continual. But I see her in this dog
@@rendenellenberger5262 Yeah and I do prefer a "serious" dog that does not see strangers as their new best friend like for example most golden retrievers does. That is why I prefer guarding breeds in general.
But (for me) the Rottweiler is a better balance, they CAN be very serious but most of the time they are either being goofballs or begging for a cuddle 😂
@@drec5174 thats where my dogs line is not the best, her nerves are high even at the sight of other dogs....she takes a lot of correction to calm her down and for some reason better off leash with an e collar. But that makes others a little nervous but I live very rural so I can at least work with her. They are cool dogs but deserve a different sort to raise them proper
@rendenellenberger5262 we signed up for a year of weekly group balanced training with ours. Will still go on occasion still (bought a lifetime membership). Plus group "bite" class on occasion just for impulse and pray drive building. Both helped a lot both with impulse control and getting used to being near other dogs that are moving, barking, etc. If you have really good obedience, then control of fear/pray drive ect will follow. I also find corrections much more valuable when the dog knows what they are supposed to be doing. These dogs are tons of time to get right for sure. And expensive as heck from a good breeder.
I felt utter joy when he got right with himself. Cool session, really informed. Good work 😊
Awesome to watch. Recently spoke to a Cane Corso breeder and they truly are gentle giants BUT they do require a lot of perfect socialization and guidance thru out their lives. It was very clear that what he showed was more fear reactivity towards the other dogs probably because of early incidents. I think if you have this dog for longer he would start playing with the other dogs, it can take weeks before traumatized dogs start warming up and playing with other dogs because of their social anxiety and/or personality, and breed.
Love your videos! Love to see these type of videos that address big dogs that do have some reaction issues but not necessarily are vicious or anything to that level. We met a few months ago in Oside and you really help me guide my Dogo Argentino and Jindo just from watching your online stuff. It's good to know that letting a dog get a little emotion out before a correction can be okay in the right scenario. My dogo is super sweet with ALL people, and only get's reactionary with dogs when the other dog is pulling or growling or lunging towards us. If it's a well behaved/mannered dog she usually is totally fine. Sometimes she get's a little too excited and will bark/scream at the other dog and I've been correcting her for it, but now I'm curious if maybe I let her just get a tiny bit of emotion out and address the situation from there maybe it'd help her realize meeting dogs is okay and she doesn't have to scream at them first out of excitement or fear or whatever it is.
Cheers brother
Cane corsos are such big babies. This dog is so nervous and shy and just wants to be next to daddy and protect daddy. Not very confident and undersocialized. Cane corsos are hard dogs to get right and aren’t that forgiving with mistakes. And they are STUBBORN. Their instinct to take charge is SO STRONG. You definitely have to have a stronger will than the dog and not let him get away with anything. Like I said, hard dog to get right and A LOT of work. These dogs are a full time job for people with strong personalities. Not for everyone
My uneducated opinion (I reserve the right to be wrong)
The Cane looks like he doesn't know how he feels about other dogs yet. But he's on the verge of liking them?
He's excited by dogs, hair up ... but tail is wagging, not stiff. These look like good signs.?
Cudos to the owner for getting this Cane some help socializing him before his fear period is over and his bad impulses get more ingrained.
I'd love to see more on this dog as he progresses.
Also, at what age would you recommend getting pro. help with a pup like this?
Agree that this owner does look like he can handle a dog like this, he just needs a little guidance.
If its your first guardian breed. 16wks as soon as you get vaccinations. You should find a good trainer. Not only for the dog but yourself. These dogs are so unlike other dogs. But to you their owner they are absolute sweethearts. So it can be hard to notice how they act to other people and dogs. And can be good to have that other outside help
Barking at the golden, but still totally checking in with the owner. good sign.
Cane Corso are fiercely protective of family….I can clearly see his confusion of this situation.
JOEL knows how to connect to a Dog at a complete Dog level that you see the immediate response from Dog's!👍👊💯
I needed this, thank you. Trying to socialize my XL Bully. He was attacked by his siblings bad and we took him to the vet. I think it was called "litter mate syndrome, I think he's low key traumatized, this gives me hope 💯🙏🏾🤙🏾
Lol corsos are actually a stable breed, unlike the XL. Fighting breeds have dog aggression built into their DNA, as indicated by puppies attacking each other. It's a feature, not a bug.
@s.b.5259 I should give up, thanks 👍🏾
Awwwww
@@harryhill343 more like adjust your expectations
My dobie is exactly like this with new dogs. She's only very friendly to the dogs she knows quite well. It is definitely challenging walking her when we pass by dogs she is unfamiliar with. I would love to see a part 2 of this video. It was really helpful
I'm definitely not a dog trainer or anything like that but at the start of the video when he met the first dog, I thought he looked scared. I know he barked and growled but he just seem scared to me
Excellent excellent video! Kudos to the owner for bringing the corso to you!
Great example of .. you don't need to like these other dogs .. but you have to be polite .. very much like in work... you don't have to like everyone.. but at least he polite.
This has nothing to do with anything but I like that the family totally match colours
I thought it’s as interesting as he met the little dog through the fence: started off a little rough (scared Beckman a bit!) but he ended up in a play bow with a wagging tail. That was very promising for an under socialized dog like this guy was.
When we gonna get that Cesar millan Collab???.dogs are really a mans best friend...super Kool content you give to the people...respect
i just wanna pet princey.... the goodest boi
Great video... Picked up some good info about correcting and being outside of the bubble... I had my corso do the same thing when my neighbor came out of the garage to say hi my corso was backing up to me touching me. All that time I was correcting him and I walked away while my wife talk to the neighbor. I need to start using the knew feature ... I do have a prone collar on him and bought a muzzle as well. Keep up the great video's
What a good looking boy I love these guys. One used to come to my liquor store named Walter what good dogs.
I have a Presale Canario. He's bitten a couple dogs in the past during uncontrolled meetings. He is great friends with my other two medium size dogs. He responds very well with a gentle leader on leach, but I can not envision him meeting other dogs because it takes a trained handler and dog on the other side as well. What I would really to train out of him is jumping up on the fence at the yappy little dogs next door.
You can tell the dogs a bit confused an new to being social, hes got a great heart !
I appreciated this video. I especially liked where you directed the dog away from you after the fact, thats an excellent tip!
TY
I love how friendly the golden are and scared, and the cane corso here is just of piece of .. you know.
I’m really glad I got a Rottweiler instead of the Cane Corso I was considering. Serious dog them.
niiiiiiiice. Really good work. Progress sometimes doesn't seem like much because we're in the middle of it, but what I saw is big. Big steps. Formative, certain, confidence building leading to his ability to control his own fears. Most people don't know this but fear is created in our minds so our minds can destroy it.
That little dog introduction was a great idea. My dog is like this guy, not a confident fellow. Put him with a little dog, he plays, put him with most big dogs and he gets defensive. He was doing zoomies with a Jack Russel yesterday and loves the floofy friendly golden types. Put a rottie or Prince near him and he just gets defensive. We just pick and choose and he gets to play with some other dogs. Agree with the take me away or take the other dog away that the dog is doing. I just take my dog away before he does get over threshold though, when I see he is going to go, we just turn instead. I don’t really want him to rehearse that behaviour so much.
Hopefully this baby makes a turnaround. Unfortunately with this breed and others alike if you don't start early with socialization it could be a hard road. Good luck four-legged good thoughts are with you.
Really substantial stuff, amazing how powerful the leash is, glad i found ya channel mate cheers!
We have a 7yr old intact Cane Corso .. he is our house and yard dog .. we live on a large cattle property with 17 working kelpies that are housed in a building in their runs away from the house .. they work almost all day everyday… Our Cane Corso loves being around the kelpies on the farm. However , our training with the Cane Corso was a completely different training experience as to training working dogs .. the corso’s are quite sensitive dogs and very loyal and alpha has to established early on.. we did not have him around the working dogs for around 6 months while we were training him and when we first introduced him to the working pack he was exactly like this .. after a few weeks he relaxed and calmed down and now is first in the truck or side by side to go down every morning to feed the kelpies .. he is not pushy with them and just blends in as the pack .. he loves watching them work and being with them if it’s only for an hour a day.. they are very intelligent and beautiful dogs but need to be trained correctly from the get go or they can very quickly be running the show.. this boy looks like his just unsure and nervous .. Joel has definitely been best choice for helping here .. he reads dogs so well
Love how you tought Prince😍😍😍💯
Another fantastic and educational video. You can tell the owner is a very good owner and will follow the advice and education to the letter.
12:14 Did he think water was solid ground? 😅😅Judging by how fast he wanted out, it looks like that's the first time he has went for a swim?
That bark and lunge is just him saying stay away because he's nervous
I appreciate your videos.
I'm looking forward to seeing him get socialised a bit more and watch the progress. Did I see a play bow?
It looked like it, but I’m not so sure.
Look at his tongue. This dog can't be trusted with other dogs.
@@ColdestRage303 I saw one of these kill a poodle. Why not just get a normal dog and let these beasts guard cattle like they are supposed to?
@@t16205 Cane Corso just like Presa Canario, Dogo Argentino, Boerboel, Bull Mastiff, Dogue de Bordeaux, Tosa Inu, Bully XL etc. Are Bandogs made into a breed.
My dog is like the golden retriever 24/7, but reacts like this corso when a dog lounges at them aggressively. (Except my dog will not bark, she will just lock her eyes onto the aggressive dog)
She's the best dog I've ever owned, I just watch these videos because it's never bad to better educate one's self.
I don't know anything about dogs, but I'm learning a lot through this channel! And I don't know why, but I actually felt sorry for the big fella - he looked kinda sad - the 'gentle giant' tag seems appropriate here - really hope he gets to work out his issues - I can visualise him running round Beckman's place this time next year and rolling over to let all the other dogs play on him - hope it comes true for him 🤞🙏😊
Great looking corso wow
Oh what a good boy....he so wants to do the right thing, he's just not sure.
Beautiful dog.
I just love his tattoo washing. So cute!
People should start socialise dogs as pup, i never have issues like this.
That’s one bad ass Cane Corso…
Wow this was amazing because of the body language and the teaching! Would love to see follow-up footage. Would it be unusual for even good owners like this to progress on their own? Or will they likely schedule 1-2 more sessions with you till they get to where the pupper can be loose no muzzle around other dogs?
I don't sew how a fearful undersocialized dog makes for a good owner and of a large breed too..
@@KdKoalaThe owner was good in that he recognized he was having a problem, found Joel and was willing to pay for the session, paid close attention to the teaching and began to institute the changes in training necessary to help this dog become more well-adjusted. I do agree with you that it looks like more sessions would be fantastic if financially feasible. Peace🐾💕
I thought Joel will have first dive during training into water after that dog 😂
I laughed way too hard at this!
My brother has a pure bred cane corso. She is the sweetest dog. They look scary but they really can be sweet. They drool like a waterfall which can make them look like they are mean but they aren't. She's registered as a service dog.
such a gorgeous dog and serious proper owners for a serious dog like him.
Thanks for another video!!
He's undersocialized and insecure. Both with people and dogs.
Clearly not really aggressive, even though he looks and sounds like he'll kill you, your family, and all of your ancestors. Plus his dad was able to hold him back easily with a flat collar and lead. He's a pretty chill dude, all things considered.
Every time he barks at another dog, he puts himself between the dog and his Dad. He's just a big jealous baby.
CC definitely has great Hold Back, just needs more fun time! 👍
What a sweet Boy
That golden retriever is beautiful.
I was always taught that traing an owner is more important than training the dog.
Once you train the owner the dog will follow.
Basically you don't really train the dog you train the owner
man, this dog is built like a horse. a gentle giant with some insecurities, but a good heart underneath it all.
The bewilderment on the Golden Retriever face is like "why doesnt he love me like I love him?" 😂
