Finding the Comfort Zone: Cane Corso Edition 🐾
Working with a giant breed comes with giant learning curves—especially when your student is a 18-month-old Cane Corso who spent his life as an outdoor dog and is learning about the world for the very first time!
Every pup has their quirks, and this big guy made his boundaries very clear:
* No looming allowed: Standing over him was a hard "no." To earn his trust, I had to drop down to his level (my knees are officially requesting a pay raise).
* Bilingual training: Turns out his primary language isn't English, so I had to learn Spanish on the fly!
Patience, treats, and a good crouch finally paid off—he trusted me enough to lie down! Slowly but surely, we're building confidence one step (and one squat) at a time.
Moral of the story: When training dogs, you have to be flexible... literally! 😂
