Hello everyone

Hello everyone,
My name is Doug Rice and I too am a Cane Corso enthusiast.    I live in Kentucky and although I would like to try the show ring someday, my interest is in training and working my dogs.  I have a two and a half year old female and a five month old male that love nothing more than to train and play and eat. (not necessarily in that order) but we have loads of fun anyway.  I look forward to meeting some of you all in the future.

Welcome Doug,
What kind of work do you do with your Corsos? And uh, should I say it again? We love to see pictures!!!!!!!

Hello Doug and welcome to this really great forum

Well, as far as working goes, I havent competed as of yet but my female seems to enjoy tracking the most. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, I live in the country with lots of woods and my friend and I take our dogs in the woods to find familiar objects (toys) and friends that we will give a 15min head start. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, we take turns working one anothers dogs and my female really seems good at it. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, I would liike to do some SAR, but with my busy schedule I cant always just pick up and leave. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, 

My Male is only about 5 mos. old. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, He is fearless and I am doing some preliminary personal protection training with him. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, I had him evaluated by a professionall trainer and the trainer is very excited about working with him in the future. He bite the tugs and sleeves with ferocity, then is ready to settle down and play nicely with strangers or anyone the very next minute. Its like an on and off switch. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, He is still a puppy and I am careful not to overtrain. ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, but I think he is a great prospect as long as he remains such a stable dog.

It's good to start young. The first year they are exceptionally fast in picking new things up. Also after a year they are still fast learners. But that first year they are amazing
