How do you discipline a Cane Corso puppy? A Story

How do you discipline a Cane CORS puppy? A Story

I had not owned any large dog breeds

before the date, my husband did have

you know previous dog ownership

experience in that sense

and um, I had had dogs before but not a

A big one, CORS. I had an idea of what to

expect, but it's, you know, one

the thing to have an idea and then a whole

another thing

when this, you know

very powerful puppy is in your house

something that intimidated me at

first was taking him out on walks

walking him was scary for me because i

felt like

I was too small, and I would never be

able to

control him, and he would do

whatever he wanted

which was wrong of me to think because

as we know

you know you're the relationship that

you have with your dog is not based on

you know your gender, your physical

appearance any of that it's based on

literally how much time you're

dedicating to your dog if you are

working with your dog if you are

getting forming good habits with them

then your dog is going to listen to you,

you are going to have to trust that it's going

to be a good healthy relationship with a

a good foundation so that when you go into

the more challenging things it's much

easier CORS

I started not having.

That good foundation and

because of that, I was very intimidated

to walk him often, I see messages and

comments or in my dm saying like, hey

I'm like this tall

I weigh this much, do you think I can

handle, of course, though and

what I'd say to those people is, hey

You know it doesn't matter. It doesn't

matter how big you are, it doesn't matter

any of that, what matters is how much

of the time you're willing to dedicate into

handling and training your dog

yeah, that's something that scared

me to first know what helped me overcome

that is

that I started training him, i

started to incorporate

structured walks CORS we wouldn't just go

out just for a walk, you know I have him

sit before I open the door, sit when we

come back inside the door. One thing you

know it's like little things that really

improve your dog's behavior CORS I would

say, for example, Dante would start to

notice when we'd be like turning the

corner and like arriving at our house

and his heel would get pretty sloppy, um

by the time that we were getting there

so working on that and making sure that

he was healing even though we were

approaching our house and practicing

that over and over is something that

helped um, and that's just like one

example, but

there are CORS many things that you can

train your dog to do and train your dog

to be neutral about and train your dog

um,

be better at CORS

um, once I started to understand that it,

It wasn't about my size; I was, it was

just

my relationship with him, you know

it changed entirely, and I felt

empowered by it, CORS

you know now that I go like one of my

favorite thing to do with the dogs is

taken, them on walks because I feel really

proud of them, and I feel proud of

like the work that we've put together

now the second thing that scared

me about owning a kind of CORS and

these things are more kind of

I guess peach would be involved, too, but

I would say like a lot of them were

because, um, Dante was my first horse

though so like there were a lot of new

things, whereas when I got peach, I was

just kind of like way more experienced

you know, but I would say that one thing

that scared me second thing that scared

I with um getting Dante was people's

perceptions of him and

people not being as accepting of him, so

when

my uh

husband and I, who was my fiance at the

time was talking about getting a dog

like Dante

no kind of like bounced off

ideas with other people too and

the conversation would come up, you know and

people are all in, you know, everyone's

entitled to their opinion um, but there

would be some people that would you know

think that you know Dante was ugly or

will not Dante, but

the CORS breed was ugly, or they were

vicious, so there were people that

based their opinions solely on how they

looked and like the perception

you, know the CORS being scary

and being like mean-looking, right

that was something that scared me

because

I would say that I'm the type of person.

That I like to be good with everybody

you know, like I like to I like good

vibes okay, like I'm good vibes only

that was scary for me because I was like

Oh. I like you know I had talked to my

husband before, and I was like even for

me, it wasn't like the dog of my dreams

at the time because I wanted more like

of a shepherd, but I was okay with

getting Dante CORS was

it was kind of hard because I was like

oh my god, CORS, many other people don't

like this dog, but I want people to like

this dog, you know, because at the end of

the day it's gonna be my dog

so that was something scary because we

even had family that was being opposed to

us getting a dog like that

all of that to say that

at the end of the day

we got Dante and

you know, I guess it's hard to believe

that people wouldn't like him, but I mean

all 13 000 of you guys seem to think

he's really cute CORS and peach, too CORS

it turned out great, and that's not to

say that

if you know that, you should just make

a choice

about getting a particular dog breed

solely based on other people's opinions

about it

like in all things in life, you're gonna

have to outweigh the pros and the cons

if other people's opinions of you and um

perceptions of you and that stuff

matters you know

then, you know, make your decision based

on that, if it doesn't, then don't as much

as you

want to make sure that everybody around

You are okay. You're not always going to

be able to

please, everybody, at the end of the day

what I did was I made the decision

based on what I wanted,

what I knew

would be good for my life because

the only person that knows my life better

thanI am me, CORS

um with that in mind, I knew what my day

today would look like, and I knew that

In my day today, I wanted to have a

A companion likes Dante CORS. The last thing

that I would say that was something

scary to deal with was when Dante

got sick

with epilepsy

because

I can't explain to you guys on

camera how much that changed our lives

you know,

you know I never like to

Come on, here and

tell you if things are hard, I mean

I think I've only made one epilepsy article.

Because I want for the people

that are watching to have a good time

and to get a positive experience out of

our article and learn something

but very candidly, I can say that

was a really scary time

in my life because it did change

a lot of things

Dante takes

Medicine like

I'd say four times a day.

that meant that I really

had to make sure that I was home I

had to make sure that I had a job that I

could

have

but at the same time be able to be

around for Dante

it was, you know, it was a really

scary thing, especially when he first got

and

it's still scary because

he's generally good, but he'll still

get like a breakthrough seizure every

now and then, and every time that happens

it's CORS sad because it's like

he's CORS good the rest of the time you

know for the rest of the month and then

to see him not being good, I mean, I'm

sure that you guys with dogs when you

dog gets sick; it's like the worst thing

like you,

you have trouble sleeping like you

stomach hurts, you know, like you get

stressed out, you're part of your family

so that was something

that initially was super scary to deal

especially because it was unknown

there's not a lot of information

about epilepsy and canines out there a

lot of the things that we've learned is

actually, about um regarding epilepsy

comes from

forums and people who have epilepsy

and what they talk about CORS

It was scary. It was a scary time, the

but

silver lining

is that I learned to

really

appreciate it when everybody is

good, like when Dante is healthy

I take you to know I don't take those.

Things for granted. I don't take it for

granted, when I see him running in

her backyard, you know, being himself

playing with peach

that's not something you know

I don't take that stuff for granted, so

I can say that, you know, just.

Owning Dante in general and peach have

honestly, made me a better person and

have made me have a much more positive

outlook on life

in general CORS

even if things get hard

so yeah, I would say that that was

another scary thing, and this is going to

be the end of all the scary things that

I'm going to talk to you guys about

because honestly, I would say that's

about it,

but

I did want to, you know, talk to you about

this because I'm always, you know

concerned

about the kind of course of breed and

how popular

it's getting, and or you know it's

just any

strong dog breed, or you know, like just

dogs in general, you know how like when

there was coveted, and everybody adopted

dogs

I get concerned about that stuff, like I

do because I don't want people to

get dogs

you know to fill a void, or I don't want

people to get dogs

because you know they have more time on

their hands

owning a dog is a huge commitment, and

there are so many things that some

people don't talk about, but are things

that are scary things about having a dog,

and

so I just wanted to come here and just

be real, you know, like tell you hey

some things are scary about

owning a course though

and I don't know, hopefully maybe this

resonated with one of you guys, and it

showed it shows you that you're not

alone, there are a lot of things that are

scary about you know training and

not messing up your dog and all that

kind of worry, and what if your dog gets

sick CORS, yeah, I just

Yeah. I

that's it

that's all I have to say
