Hey everyone, I have a 13 month old cane corso named Bojack. He was bred in Canada with a pedigree dating back to X-Man and other champions scattered around Europe. Amazing lineage, and an amazing dog. He’s approx 140-150 lbs currently.
He is exercised and stimulated well. I wrestle him daily and have a well established dominant/alpha relation with him. He respects me and would never challenge me, absolutely amazing personality.
HOWEVER, he does growl at my girlfriend when she gets close to his face. We’ve been training him and aiding him with this. I recently got send to Ontario Canada for 2 months of military training , while I was gone he nipped my mom and left a bruise on her head for touching him while he was sleeping. He quickly realized it was out of line I heard.
Today he ran after my sister and nipped her arm leaving a small bruise for getting too close to me, it’s almost as if he analyzed her behaviour and determined she was a threat to me. She has been walking him and running him for the last 2 months, they’ve been best friends until I got back.
I know this is unhealthy, the fact that he acts like an obsessive boyfriend/girlfriend. However what do I do now?
Should I provide more rules and boundaries? Should I neuter him? Is it too late to Crate train him, if not would that help?
He is literally the definition of hardcore original farm dog type cane corso, tough as nails and very one person oriented. I cannot have him gunning for my family members anymore.
thank you, any insight is appreciated. Breeders and well experienced members please chime in.
