Kratos | Cane Corso | Reseda, California
Introducing Kratos, the delightful Cane Corso residing in Reseda, California, at a year and a half of age. A cherished member of an affectionate family, Kratos embodies the essence of a true family dog. However, navigating public walks on a leash proves challenging for him. His robust strength often results in pulling his owners along, especially when his excitement peaks, leading to exuberant jumping upon encountering people. Yet, amidst these struggles, his family harbors a strong aspiration: to relish tranquil outings in public settings and to enhance his recall abilities. Keep an eye out for Kratos as he embarks on a journey of progress and transformation.

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS:
During our visit to the park, we initiated Kratos into the five fundamental commands while utilizing leash guidance. Our approach focused on imparting the basics, using the leash’s “pressure” solely to direct him toward a command or to redirect his attention. Once Kratos complied with the command, we promptly released all leash pressure. It was an excellent first day of training, and Kratos showed promising progress. Great job, buddy!

Today’s training session at the park marked a significant step forward for Kratos. Having mastered the sit and down commands, we introduced new challenges and distractions to elevate his training. I experimented by dropping the leash and moving away, observing his response. Impressively, Kratos exhibited remarkable progress in his execution of the sit and down commands, responding even as I distanced myself. Moreover, his performance in heel has notably improved.
