Protection is in their Genes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The innate qualities of the Cane Corso (also known as an Italian Mastiff) make it an ideal choice for training as a personal protection dog<\/strong> or as a property guard dog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Corsi history<\/a><\/span> highlights their past success as canine warriors and protectors of valuable livestock due to their protective nature. Even their name (the Latin word \u201ccohors\u201d<\/a><\/span>) alludes to being a \u201cbodyguard,\u201d or \u201cguardian or protector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Due to the Cane Corso\u2019s physical prowess, they can easily restrain, subdue or deter an unwanted intruder. In addition, the Corso\u2019s large head and powerful jaws can help bring down an intruder with a powerful, deep bite.<\/p>\n

But what exactly makes the Corso an ideal guard dog? Below are 7\u00a0succinct reasons<\/a><\/span>!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Their intimidating size and strength while also being extremely agile and athletic.<\/li>\n
  2. A strong level of confidence and energy.<\/li>\n
  3. Territorial and protective instincts.<\/li>\n
  4. A fierce loyalty to their humans.<\/li>\n
  5. Being alert and ready to react to any potential danger.<\/li>\n
  6. A dependable and predictable personality.<\/li>\n
  7. High intelligence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While these traits and instincts are desirable<\/strong> and required<\/strong> for a guard dog, it\u2019s critical to remember these same characteristics can also<\/strong> get out of control without proper socialization and training<\/strong>. Training should begin early in puppyhood<\/a> and continue throughout the dog\u2019s life for the Cane Corso to be a dependable companion when it comes to protection and guarding.<\/p>\n
