THE CANE CORSO
Our Courageous & Great Hearted Friend
By Zoe DeVita
The Cane Corso as
Companion Dog
he Cane Corso will
become completely devoted and attached to your family. They can show their affections in a variety of ways. Some
find it necessary to be in your lap every waking moment and are exuberant in demonstrating their affections. They may lean on your leg, put their head in your lap and paw at the bathroom door to be with you. Some are more reserved in nature, yet always remain close to their people. They are sensitive to their favorite people and are very loyal with their attention. Your Cane Corso will intuitively respond to your mood. When you are joyful, grief-stricken or angry, they will vigilantly respond to you with devotion, affection and love.
Cane Corsos thrive on companionship. They want to be wherever you are. Although they will tolerate being crated or kenneled for a period of time, they need human con- tact to remain well rounded. A Cane Corso needs socialization and lots of it! If your 􏰀􏰀􏰁 􏰃 􏰄􏰅􏰆􏰇􏰄􏰈􏰉􏰅􏰊 􏰋􏰌􏰉􏰌􏰍􏰈􏰎􏰏􏰐 􏰑􏰌􏰎􏰒􏰌􏰓􏰔 􏰀􏰕􏰖􏰗
Cane Corso doesn’t get proper socialization and attention prepare for an unruly, unhap- py puppy! If lack of socialization continues through adulthood prepare for unsociable or fearful behaviors. An adult that is exiled from the family is bound to be miserable. If you have other obligations, a demanding occupation or if you don’t prefer to have your dog’s constant companionship, than a Cane Corso may not be a good fit for you.
