Serenity, you need to change your outlook right now. A Corso will eat up a wimpy owner! You must always exude confidence. Even a puppy will take advantage of their owner. Remember, a 120 lb CC can easily be controlled by a 110 lb woman. It starts from day one, then constant confident control is always needed. Once your puppy realizes that you are boss, then he/she will treat you as boss. Start right now telling yourself that you are the boss, and the pup does what you say, ALWAYS! No means no, yes means yes. Don't waiver, because a dog doesn't understand "every once in awhile". You will do fine! You need to research a good dog trainer now, that you you will have a support system setup. Good luck, and always have fun. Lee Chapman
