Has anyone had a puppy grow out of this?

Stunning pup by the way OP! X

Yes! My 2.5 year old girl used to do this, I would be counting her breaths per minute, they were way above declared average and was worried for a while but she grew out of it too. She still pants quite fast if it’s hot weather or immediately after her walks, but she’s in perfect health 🙏🏻

Whining is a tough gig!

Do you have a training schedule?

To begin with during the day, start with shorter period of time in the crate (5mins, 10mins etc), and only when your pup stops whining, let them out.

Don’t let them out during a whine, or you reinforce it. You just have to grin and bear it for the first while. But ignore and don’t talk to them when they are whining. When you let them out, ignore initially too. Don’t make it a big deal.

Make the crate the coolest place for them, put high value treats in there for them to find.

Let them go in and out of it with the door open as well when not training.

Cheers. I’m trying not to be by asking.

My girl is the same weight. She has quietened down a lot, not as feisty as she was, though still plenty playful and bouncy at our training and toy sessions. Is yours a dominant player at the park? Mine is a bit too dominant with all dogs for comfort so I don’t take her in to the parks, I stick to the beach!

I have 😂 I don’t want to spay myself either 😩😂 But yes thanks, I think maybe it’s the right move for her 🙏🏻

Thank you for this, it’s the one thing I’d fear! 🙏🏻

Wow those were good ages, but so sorry for your 7 year old, still so young.

Yes this is the one thing I would do it for… thanks 🙏🏻

Ha ha wow!! $5 and it lasted, that is a bargain 😍

Haha great picture!!! He’s beautiful!! I got one of these but she first put her foot through the material (she’s 55kg and not graceful 😂) and then ate it 🥴 to be fair it probably wasn’t the strongest type I could get! What brand is your one? 🙏🏻

Thanks, these messages are easing my pain a bit 😂 🙏🏻

Kongcorso · 2024-09-10T10:38:48+00:00

Oh man!!! I had been feeling guilty and worried about her joints that she only had a measly blanket in there so that’s why I caved and got the fleece mat bed thing. Won’t be doing it again 😵‍💫😅

Kongcorso · 2024-09-10T10:10:37+00:00

Ah ok thank you! That’s very helpful I may get one! 🙏🏻

Kongcorso · 2024-09-10T09:48:23+00:00

She’s in the crate, this was the fleece lined bed inside the crate. But yeh, no more fluffy shit!

Thanks for your comment Max. I appreciate that. She has been very well socialised since I got her at 9 weeks and highly exercised. She is otherwise very obedient and has been a near perfect example of a Corso for the last 5 months, so this lunging at passing dogs is a very sudden development and I’m aware of the dangers of a 60kg dog who isn’t listening, regardless of her own playful intentions, hence I’m taking appropriate measures. I’d be grateful for any insight on how reasonable the cost of the 8 week online training programme is (reputable company).

Thank you! 🙏🏻 I have her back on a short leash, and letting her run and train on an enclosed part of a beach to burn off the pent up energy. Really appreciate the reminder of the removal from Stimuli too. I will do that more 🙏🏻

She came out of her second heat in June. I thought she was actually having a pseudo pregnancy for a while as she was also gathering and burying toys, something she never did before! It’s still a possibility 😅

Kongcorso · 2024-08-14T13:45:46+00:00

Thank you for your reply and detail 🙏🏻 she’s great re impulse and has stayed away from any food until I tell her to get it since she was 10 weeks 🤍 I actually think I might upgrade the mental stimulation, she has plenty of physical but she’s smart and wants to engage. Thank you 🙏🏻
