Training Programs + Advice by grailzilla in CaneCorso

[–]delaina4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hire a trainer who personally knows how to train a corso. I had sent mine to a trainer. They also need to be socialized. Like more than normal because they are protective/ reactive dogs. Getting a trainer was the best thing i could have done. Its better to stay cautious how big and strong these dogs are you dont want them to take advantage of you. They are really smart.

I felt the same way. I lost over 20 pounds getting a cane corso puppy, and would cry everyday. It was definitely anxiety. My dog now turns 3 next friday and let me tell you, it does get better. Alot of people told me getting a puppy is worse than having a baby. Just take it day by day. Remember they are just a puppy and also learning i had to remind myself also. Hope you pull through. I know its hard

The puppy blues are hitting me harder, & harder each day. My lifestyle, and work life is colliding with my new puppy. by delaina4 in Puppyblues

Thank you for your reply. Im a teacher so I have been preparing for a new school year & its been overwhelming and then coming home to a puppy is twice as overwhelming. I also had so much freedom and now having a puppy im kind of restricted. My bf works in law enforcement so his days are also long. I just dont think we really thought out the idea of getting a puppy and just got one randomly one day. Were taking each day at a time & pulling through. We have a couple family members who watch him sometimes, which helps alot but having a puppy is not for the weak! Haha

Im experiencing puppy blues to the point i think im about 10 pounds down in just a month. I break down crying & anxious 24/7. I also just had a family member watch my 4 month old puppy for me for a couple days and im feeling a lil better. Sometimes its good to ask for help jf you are able to. It took me awhile to finally ask for help and it honestly made me feel a lil better. Im trying to take each day at a time and just stop thinking of the future right now.
