For example, one may not admit that a dog should choose traveling
direction but not its owner. If the owner does not show
persistence carrying his point then from now forward he will not
manage to command his Cane Corso dog. During this period you
must set the record straight and thrash out the relations of
subordination which will form a stable basis of harmonic
relationship between man and dog.

The fourth period lasts from 5 to 6.5 months. After passing the
initial socialization phase and studying out who is the boss, Cane Corso
dog comes into the next stage when order in the pack is
established. Here uncompromising role structure between a leader
and the rest of pack members takes the place. It is important in
the eyes of the dog that the leading place should belong to a more
physically and mentally strong pack’s representative.
Cane
Corso willingly obey such leader, gladly executes his
orders because the dog has already earned them well, moreover the
commands lead to active communication.
Nose is a main sense of a dog whereas it is secondary
for a person. Smell helps dogs and other animals to take
bearing and the better smell a dog has the better its working
and service abilities.
If this period is too successful then young Cane Corso
feels confident, the world seems to be in order for it. And, on
the contrary, inconsistency of requirements and its owner’s
behavior, his emotional instability disorientate the animal;
destroy the contact and cause insubordination and non-recognition
of the leader. In this case the dog becomes uncertain, neuroses
sometimes happen in it.
During this period of socialization if the communication is ok, Cane Corso
accepts a gregarious order. The fifth period lasts from 6 mothns
old up to Cane Corso’s sexual maturation. As soon as the
animal reaches child-bearing age this phase will come to its end.
This moment is connected with the first estrus in females of Cane
Corso breed (usually in 7-8 months).
Three-legged stand of Cane Corsos-males during urination is
considered to be the beginning of their period of sexual
development. One should bear in mind that the males are inclined
to cast doubt upon rank order during this time. In these cases one
should shed light on the situation and bring to rights.
This period is characterized by appearance of protective behavior
and formation of guard instinct in Cane Corsos. At that
their ability to guard own territory turns to be clearly
represented. But fighting instinct and protection instinct are
still imperfectly developed and for their development and
strengthening the dog needs to be rewarded.
Dealing with young Cane Corso it needs to organize the
process so that the dog may not become overexcited. The animal
must always be a winner during battles. One may not resource to
painful forcing even when drilling the detention of a supposed
criminal.
When speaking about the terms of developmental stages it must be
noted that in some individuals they may slightly displace as to
the presented ones.
