Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
Zelfs goed gesocialiseerde Corsos ontwikkelen vaak intolerantie voor honden van hetzelfde geslacht bij sociale volwassenheid (18-24 maanden). Dit is een rastrek, geen trainingsmislukking.
In tegenstelling tot rassen die indringers verwelkomen, is een Cane Corso van nature achterdochtig. Zonder uitgebreide socialisatie escaleert dit tot op angst gebaseerde agressie of gevaarlijke reactiviteit.
Dit is een bewakershond, geen waakhond. Ze blokkeren of confronteren bedreigingen fysiek. Vereist een eigenaar die de hond onmiddellijk kan terugroepen.
Bezitsdrift (voedsel/speelgoed) is een bekende eigenschap die vroeg beheerd moet worden voordat het gevaarlijk wordt bij een hond van 50 kg+.
