Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
Mesmo Corsos bem socializados frequentemente desenvolvem intolerância a cães do mesmo sexo ao atingir a maturidade social (18-24 meses). Este é um traço da raça, não uma falha de treinamento.
Ao contrário de raças que recebem bem intrusos, um Cane Corso é naturalmente desconfiado. Sem socialização extensiva, isso escala para agressão baseada em medo ou reatividade perigosa.
Este é um cão de guarda, não de alerta. Eles bloqueiam ou confrontam ameaças fisicamente. Requer um dono que possa chamar o cão de volta instantaneamente.
A guarda de recursos (comida/brinquedos) é um traço conhecido que deve ser gerenciado cedo antes de se tornar perigoso com um cão de mais de 50 kg.
