So happy for you. I remember count down to Corso in my house. Beautiful Corso. Looks like my Carma. Make sure you get LOTS of toys. If not "there goes your wires and your furniture." House and crate training takes a lot of repetition. Try to get into a routine. Carma cried for the the first 6 days or so, but after that she would go in her crate by herself and sleep. There's my 2 cents. Congrats!!!!

What a cutie! Do you have a stuffed animal, about his size, for him to sleep with? He's used to sleeping with his siblings and needs to cuddle. Do you have a blanket or towel for him to lay on in the crate?

Did you change his food? This could account for his soft stools. Stress could also cause stomach upset. He's in new surroundings and needs a little time.

Start OB training now with basic commands. Work with him for about 5 minutes a day and make it fun for him. Start with look at me/focus. Move onto to sit, stay, come, leave it and drop it. Do one command at a time before moving onto another command.

There are a number of posts on how to train a new pup. Do a search for puppy training, focus training.

Remember to reward him for what you want him to do.
