Let's talk about muzzles and how they save lives..

Safety for others: Muzzles help prevent dogs from biting or injuring others, reducing the risk of harm to children, pets, and strangers.

Training aid: Muzzles can be used as a training tool to modify aggression or anxiety-related behavior. It allows trainers to work on behavior modification without compromising safety.

Preventing ingestion of harmful objects: Dogs may have a tendency to eat or chew on inappropriate objects, which can be dangerous. Muzzles provide a physical barrier, preventing dogs from swallowing harmful substances.

Emergency situations: Muzzles enable veterinarians and other professionals to provide necessary medical treatment or examinations in emergency situations, without the risk of injury.

Reducing stress: For nervous or reactive dogs, muzzles can help alleviate their anxiety by providing them with a sense of security. It can prevent triggering stressful situations and allow them to relax.

Ensuring legal compliance: In some jurisdictions, certain breeds or dogs with aggression history may be required to wear muzzles in public places. Complying with these regulations can prevent legal issues and ensure the dog's safety.

Facilitating safe socialization: Muzzles can be used as a precautionary measure during socialization processes, allowing dogs to interact with others in a controlled and safe manner until they become more comfortable.

Transitional aid: For dogs transitioning from a previous history of aggression or trauma, muzzles can provide a temporary safety measure while their behavior is being assessed and managed.

Over the past four Sundays I've been traveling up to Iowa to work with Koda and her owner. 4 weeks ago Koda wanted to eat me. She wanted to eat you. She wanted to eat everybody! With almost 20 stitches under her belt, legally speaking, Koda should not be here anymore.

Four weeks later, thanks to consistent hard work and clear communication, Koda is a changed dog. She wasn't vicious. Ever. She was confused. Now she understands. She's now able to go to small town carnivals, balloon races, grocery stores, and really anywhere without fear. She lets people into her home, on her property, and she can exist in society now. We will keep the muzzle on for the time being as a safety precaution. I love a success story!

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!"🖤

The Cane Corso's geneology can be traced back to the Canis Pugnax, the Roman War dog of the first century. They would accompany their handler onto the battlefields where they would act as an unprecedented guardian. The tenaciousness of this dog was so extreme they were used in the arenas to fight against lions, bears, and other wild animals.

The Romans were not the first, but may very well have used war dogs the most effectively. The Roman Army had whole companies composed entirely of dogs. They wore spiked collars around their neck and ankles, made more dangerous by the large curved knives protruding from its ring. Sometimes they were starved before battle, then unleashed on an unsuspecting enemy. Their dog of choice was the great Molossian dogs of Epirus, specifically trained for battle. These dogs, halved starved and ferocious, helped spread the Roman Empire across the ancient world. The Corso was also as a "auxiliary warrior" in battles for the Romans.

For years he has been a companion and worker of the Italian people. His job was to protect property and cattle, work as a cattle drover, and for large game hunting. Their power, courage, agility and tracking ability made them especially valuable with wild boar, stag and bear. His name comes from the Latin word "Cohors" which means Guardian or Protector.
