IGOR THE CANE CORSO

Today we travelled to Middlesborough for a home visit to see this handsome lad.

His owner wanted help with over excitable behaviour in the home along with obedience under distraction and recall.

Igor is a typical 9 month Cane Corso and just needed to learn some boundaries and manners when at home.

He currently has an injured toe so we kept the session nice and easy with as little physical activity as possible.

We introduced reward markers and taught him no means no.

Next we went through how to condition his crate so he is happy to spend time in there. We did this by creating a high reward history for going in, without the fear of being shut in.

Finally we finished the session off by conditioning a muzzle. Igor does not need to wear one but his owners are thinking ahead in case they ever need to take him to the vets, as dogs that are in a serious amount of pain can become unpredictable.

Igor is a super boy with fantastic foundations, dedicated owners and once he has recovered from his injury we can really get started on making him into the best version of himself.
