Why Your Cane Corso Doesn’t Hear Commands (And The Silent Walk That Changed Everything)

Ever wonder why your Cane Corso ignores commands—even after you’ve put in hours of training?

It’s a common struggle. Heel means nothing, ‘stay’ is optional, and you feel like you’re just giving instructions into the wind.

But here’s the truth—it has zero to do with volume or consistency alone.

I learned this the hard way with my male Cane Corso, Hermie. I thought if I just stayed consistent and firm, he’d eventually get it. I kept every walk structured, expected full attention, and gave reward after reward—but he seemed disconnected.

Then came a weirdly silent morning where I forgot the treat pouch and just walked—no agenda, no drills. He was calm. Focused. Glanced at me every few steps.

That’s when it hit me: he didn’t need more reps. He needed to feel like I actually saw him—not a project, but a partner.

Trust first, everything else second. And when trust is there, obedience becomes easy. That’s what I want more Cane Corso owners to understand—and experience.

My free ebook breaks this down in a way that’s simple, doable, and built into your current lifestyle. It’s not about adding effort. It’s about finding opportunities already around you to show up as the leader your dog can believe in.
