Why Your Cane Corso Isn’t Stubborn — They’re Just Watching to See If You’re Worth Following

A while ago, I invited a few friends over. Maud, my female Cane Corso, stood at the edge of the room, pacing silently, hovering near the hallway.

When someone new tried to pet her, she flinched and moved away. She wasn’t aggressive — just unsure. I sat on the floor nearby, letting her come close on her terms.

After a while, Maud laid beside me, nudging my hand with her nose. She stepped out of her fear once she felt I was grounded enough to follow.

That night taught me something: commanding confidence didn’t help Maud — being calm and present did. She wasn’t disobeying, she was watching to see if I was worth following.

Cane Corsos need a reason to trust you before they trust your commands. And the easiest way to show them? How you handle everyday moments.

My free ebook, “Cane Corso Unleashed: Why Trust Comes Before Training,” shows you how to earn your Cane Corso’s trust naturally — through daily experiences you already have with them.

Transform your Cane Corso’s behavior without force — just trust.
