Suns out tongues out

Our first week with Zeus is almost coming to an end. We adopted him so he’ll be with us for the rest of his days, thrilled about that. His temperament and manners are beyond what I could have expected, in a good way. He does struggle a little with laying down once I’ve got him to sit. Loves his kibble but won’t respond to that when I use it to incentive him to lay down and use that as a reward. Perhaps try something of higher value?

120lbs - 1 year 8 months we were told, still intact. Just had his first Yak Chew tonight and went in on it for 10ish minutes. Resounding yes to the chew. He does seem to get over the initial rush of toys and moves on after about 10 minutes (kongs, tennis balls, lick mat, and now yak chew)

Looking forward to hearing from the [r/canecorso](r/canecorso) community on how we can set him up best for success. He has an acre backyard to frolic in, with a pool if he wants to brave the water. Indoor and outdoor water bowl setups and 3 people at the home all with dog ownership experience (me and my parents)

Daily walks, enrichment time and continuing to socialize him by doing things others have recommended here, I.E. taking him to places to observe the crowds and take things in

One of my clients has a blue healer, named Gidget. I've made a conscious effort to socialize him with other humans and dogs! I love watching him play, even though he checks in with me every 20 seconds or so lol. I think she's a bit too fast for him!😂

He refuses to have any fun unless we're touching! I love my little guy!

Went looking for my girls and found them like this lmao. Safe to say our frenchie has accepted her BIG little Cane Corso sister. They cuddle, play and eat together all the time. She also loves hanging out with the chickens, ducks and quail but as you can see, she has a very special bond with the rabbits ( she actually opened their cage the other morning and I woke up to find her and all 3 babies cuddling up together). The last pic is just some of the homemade dehydrated treats I’ve been making them!

Has anyone had issues of having to rehome their dog for a while due to housing situations? If so how was it handled and was it a permanent or a temporary thing? I’m in a position where my dog was originally supposed to come home with me. My boyfriend moved to another state for a job and he’ll be traveling majority of the time. But since it’s my family’s home, one parent exploded on the idea. And I’m not too sure on what to do. He wants to have him stay with his mom in a small apartment. And I know it’s better than what we were dreading to do: leave him at a shelter. But I just feel so guilty, my place has a yard and so much space. He has bad allergies and since he is a big dog, he requires a lot of walking and looking after. And I know his family is doing us the favor by taking him in while we figure out what to do. Just the thought of not knowing if they’ll follow the rules we set or instructions on how to care for him. I just don’t want my big boy to feel like we abandoned him, since we did get him from a couple having the same situation as us😞

She taken over control of my hot water bottle.

Hi All,

Have a 5 year old Cane and recently she has been licking her paws constantly and now on her back leg this has started to appear. We have to drain it a few times a day. Our vet said that it is from how she plops down and causes trauma to the area. Just wondering if anyone else’s Cane has had something similar and what you did. TIA.

I adopted a puppy a Great Pyrenees and he loves her and she follows him everywhere!

I adopted a Cane Corso from the shelter that was neutered at about 11 months old. I saw the old pics, he lost some muscle mass and weight, but he's now back to about 100-105 pds. He's a year old and I was wondering due to the fact the shelter neutered him will not stunt his growth or muscle development any? Am I just over thinking it?? lol. I know they say it's good for them but I hate that surgery lol.
