Why Your Cane Corso Isn’t Listening (And It’s Not What You Think)

What if I said that better Cane Corso training doesn’t start by teaching more commands—but by becoming someone your dog trusts completely?

I often hear about new owners struggling with walk issues, stubborn behavior, and general disobedience. They’re frustrated, tired, and starting to worry maybe they made a mistake.

Thing is, most of that has absolutely nothing to do with being more strict or having firmer boundaries.

When I first brought my female Cane Corso, Maud, home, I thought structure was the key. More rules, less flexibility. I micromanaged everything—but she just seemed more wary around me. She’d follow commands… but with this weird hesitance, as if she wasn’t really with me.

One day I stopped commanding and just observed her. Let her approach, sit beside me. I spoke softly, pet her in silence, and offered attention without expectations.

That’s when I saw the shift. She started checking in. Not because she had to—but because she wanted to. From that moment on, everything with training got easier.

It wasn’t about power. It was about trust. And that’s what your Cane Corso craves more than control.

My free ebook maps out how to build that trust naturally—from small, everyday situations that happen without you even noticing.
