Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

CriticalAgressie jegens hetzelfde geslacht

Zelfs goed gesocialiseerde Corsos ontwikkelen vaak intolerantie voor honden van hetzelfde geslacht bij sociale volwassenheid (18-24 maanden). Dit is een rastrek, geen trainingsmislukking.

CriticalWantrouwen jegens vreemden

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.

ChallengeBeschermingsinstinct

ChallengeBezitsdrift

Bezitsdrift (voedsel/speelgoed) is een bekende eigenschap die vroeg beheerd moet worden voordat het gevaarlijk wordt bij een hond van 50 kg+.
