Shadow | Cane Corso | Bakersfield, CA
🐾 Meet Our Newest B&T Shadow
This handsome 10-month-old Cane Corso has officially joined our 4-Week Rehabilitation & Obedience Board & Train Program!
He’s a young pup with a lot of potential, but right now he struggles with fear, aggression, and being extremely protective of his mom. A lot of what we’re seeing comes from insecurity and not knowing how to appropriately handle situations that make him uncomfortable.
Over the next four weeks, our focus will be on building confidence, creating trust, improving his state of mind, and teaching him that he doesn’t need to take responsibility for protecting or controlling every situation.
We’ll work on:
– Fear & insecurity
– Aggression and reactivity
– Possessiveness/protectiveness over his owner
– Confidence building
– Impulse control
– Proper socialization
– Structured obedience
– Real-world exposure
– Calm, appropriate decision-making
With a powerful breed like the Cane Corso, confidence, structure, and clear leadership are extremely important. We’re excited to watch this young guy progress over the next four weeks! 💪🐾
