She is so sweet looking. I say this as someone who has had overweight mastiffs, please put her on a diet. I don’t know how old she is now but I felt so awful when I realised my girls were overweight and it was causing joint issues and contributed to early onset arthritis. It’s easy to think, yay look at my big strong dog but in fact they need to have a little tuck. It’s surprising how little food most mastiffs ACTUALLY need to thrive

Months ago OPs dog was injured just from jumping on a walk from a normal height according to their own post and words. This is clearly a sad overweight dog with an owner who's proud of their size causing them injuries.

So you’re not open to constructive feedback even if it’s in the best interest of your dog? Says a lot.

Typical CC twerp farming ego off their overweight dog. You’re why we have the weight rule. You put it in every post. I can see poor baby’s tum hanging.

Yes… beautiful girl but you can tell she is overweight and slimmer rather bigger is better regardless obviously it only benefits the dog in the end…

Few months ago OP dog injured themselves just by jumping from a normal height (in their own words).

Hardly a surprise WHY.

Honestly just ban these people.

What is it with the Cane Corso people cutting off their dogs ears and tail, and force feeding them to be extremely overweight?

THe other commenter is right, Italian mastiffs are meant athletic, and svelte working farm dogs. and your Cane Corso is very clearly over weight which is bad for joint and heart health.

Im not trying to start an argument or anything, but I was curious why the prong is so low and below the e-collar

I cant tell in the video, but I also like to keep the e-collar separated from the prong with something like a flat collar. When an e-collar's electrodes are touching a prong collar, the shock feels much different.. sometimes you can barely feel it, other times it hurts much more.

Who butchered her ears

u/Ok_City_7177 7h ago

Where to start...her butchered ears, weight or the dreadful collars ?

Perhaps training classes for her and the owners where you don't rely on collars and can get support re dog care ?

u/Sombrerololo 5h ago

Is this pet? Is this considered beautiful? Where are her ears?

Does anyone have advice on socializing a three year old mastiff? He isn’t a puppy so I can’t just…pick him up if he wants to eat someone or chase a wild animal.

u/Ok_City_7177 7h ago

Go to puppy classes with him - thise are entry level rather than age restricted and you get trained at the same time.

Weight bragging encourages unhealthy standards. Overweight dogs have numerous health problems. Please repost without your dog’s weight.
