Bug's favorite thing is riding to the gas station by our house to get a "Chickie nuggie"....we usually do it about 2x a week, it's been 2 weeks since her spay surgery....so we went on her 1st ride since then!

Socializing Puppies and Understanding Why It's Not always recommended to Allow Strangers to Pet Your Cane Corso Puppy in every situation:

Cane Corsos are mostly known for their protective instincts and extreme loyalty. As a responsible owner, it's crucial to recognize that these guardian tendencies are deeply ingrained in their DNA and it's vital to take this into consideration when raising this breed specifically. Therefore while socializing your Cane Corso puppy it may not be in their best interest to allow strangers to pet them or give them treats in some circumstances. In this post, we'll explain why it's not recommended for this breed and provide tips on how new owners can handle these situations with strangers when out in public.

Guardian Genetics:

Cane Corsos are well-known as formidable guardians. After the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D., the war dogs had to transition to civilian life. They found new roles as farm guardians and were stationed in the fields and pastures of Italy. Their primary duty was to safeguard livestock from potential predators and deter trespassers from entering the property. These guardian instincts are still embedded in their DNA today. Therfore when strangers approach you and your Corso, they may react interpreting it as a potential threat, especially if the encounter is unfamiliar or overwhelming.

Respecting Their Genetics:

Responsible ownership entails respecting your dog's genetics and what they were bred for. For instance, allowing strangers to approach and interact with your Cane Corso may trigger anxiety or overprotectiveness, potentially leading to undesirable reactivity behaviors which is often misunderstood by most people and mistaken for aggression. Owners need to understand these natural instincts and not put them into certain situations that may trigger their genetics and set them up for failure.

Handling Stranger's Requests:
1. Educate: When strangers express an interest in petting your Cane Corso, explain to the stranger that your puppy is in training to become a well-behaved adult and needs controlled socialization. If they insist you may take a moment to continue to educate them about the breed's guardian tendencies while asking them to respect your space.

2. Use a Command: You can put your puppy into a sit position while stepping in front of them and putting yourself in between the stranger and your puppy. This is advocating for your puppy's well-being. This also communicates to your puppy/dog that YOU are a confident leader and in control of the situation. For example use a word like "Friend", "Easy" or "Gentle" to help them learn the appropriate behaviors when in these situations and signal to strangers that your puppy or adult Corso should not be approached.

3. Socialization techniques: When it comes to socializing your puppy PROPERLY you are ONLY "exposing" it to different environments around other things, sounds, people and animals while they are taught how to behave properly and calmly while focused on you as their leader.

4. Positive Exposure: Gradually expose your Cane Corso to various people and situations in a positive and controlled manner, ensuring they build confidence and trust.

5. Set Boundaries: Don't hesitate to say "no" when necessary. Your dog's well-being should always be your top priority. Politely decline requests to pet your puppy, emphasizing that you're helping them become a well-adjusted and obedient companion.

Common triggers:
1) Kids and their fast movements like running, yelling, and screaming around your puppy
2) Strangers walking up to you fast and putting their hand out to pet

Other reasons not to allow strangers to give treats:
1) Unknown ingredients in treats can cause stomach upset resulting in diarrhea and/or allergic reactions
2) Our dogs can read people's vibes better than we can. We never know what our dogs are sensing at that moment. (maybe that person has a mental issue, health issues, or had a bad day, and if that person has a vibe about them that triggers your dogs to react for whatever reason and potentially bite that person then it's GAME OVER and you and your dog are to blame. Not worth it!

As responsible Cane Corso owners, understanding and respecting their guardian's genetics is essential. While proper socialization techniques are crucial, it's equally important to take into consideration your puppy's comfort and safety in certain environments.

Tips:
Take advantage of your Veterinary visits while your there with your puppy during their puppy exams. This is the perfect opportunity to teach your puppy how to behave while the Veterinary staff are examining and handling your puppy thru proper restraint techniques. Reward your puppy for being calm and cooperative in these situations.

Being proactive in your puppies training, educating strangers, using commands, and setting boundaries in each circumstance are effective ways to advocate for your Corso puppy while instilling their confidence in your leadership. By following these tips, you'll help your Cane Corso puppy grow into a well-balanced and confident canine companion.

Although she's still not feeling well after her spay yesterday....I want to wish my sweet baby Bug a HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY!!! My love, bond, and codependency on this girl is probably viewed as extremely unhealthy...but IDGAF! THAT'S MY GIRL!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Well...today was the day. My sweet "Bug" who is my soul dog, and can not be bred due to hip issues was spayed.

Also, Lukita, who has had many beautiful puppies that a lot of you now love in your homes....was also Spayed and now officially retired!
