Are Cane Corsos dangerous dogs?

Ann | November 8th, 2009

Appearances do not necessary dictate the actions or nature of a dog. A large dog doesn’t automatically make them fearless or aggressive nor does the tiny size make them ignorable and non-threatening. It is more on the lack of information that people are inclined to believe first impressions. Take the Cane Corso for example. These dogs are huge dogs that take up space and have an intimidating build.

They do have a natural aggressiveness and are strong willed. However these do not make them outright dangerous. Two factors contribute to a breed’s mode: its genetic make-up and training. Of course, what is inherent in the Cane Corso will always be there. But proper socialization and training at a young age will give them an understanding on how they should act being with human. Although instincts may try to take over, proper instillation of norms will somehow keep them grounded.
