At Glory to God Cane Corso, we specialize in breeding healthy and loving Cane Corso puppies and we understand that owning a Cane Corso puppy can be an exciting, yet daunting process. To help ensure a healthy and happy life for both you and your puppy, here’s a checklist of what you will need to know to provide excellent care for your new companion.

Choosing a Puppy 

The first, and most important, decision you will make is which puppy to choose. At Glory to God Cane Corso, all of our puppies are bred in accordance with with AKC and AKC/FSS standards and receive early neurological stimulation, ensuring they are well socialized and adapted to life with humans.

When looking at potential puppies, look for bright eyes, a pink and moist nose, and a clean, full coat. Healthy puppies should have a full belly and a bright, alert attitude.

Puppy-Proofing Your Home 

Before bringing home your puppy, it’s important to puppy proof your home. This means providing your puppy with a safe and comfortable environment, and helping limit chewing and biting.

Start by removing any small items that can be swallowed, such as strings, buttons, and pieces of paper, and putting away items that could scratch or injure your puppy. If you have houseplants, make sure they are out of reach of your puppy, and use a pet friendly cleaning solution to remove any hazardous material. 

Make sure your puppy has a comfortable and safe place for them to sleep, such as a bed or crate, and always keep sharp objects and tools out of reach.

Setting Up a Puppy Routine

One of the keys to training an obedient Cane Corso is setting up and following a repeated and consistent routine. This will not just help your puppy learn valuable life skills, but will also help them understand where they fit into the family dynamic.

It’s best to start with a consistent schedule for potty breaks, mealtimes, and playtime. Since puppies can get easily distracted, it’s important to stick to the same routine, and make sure to give your puppy time for play and rest. 

Socializing your Puppy

Socializing your Cane Corso puppy is essential for teaching them how to be a well mannered and confident adult dog. At Glory to God Cane Corso, all of our puppies receive early neurological stimulation, helping them become better adjusted to change and less prone to aggression.

When socializing, make sure to create the appropriate situations and surroundings for your puppy. If you have a newborn baby or small children in the house, make sure to introduce your puppy to them in a controlled, supervised environment. Have your puppy meet other friendly puppies and introduce them to different situations, such as visiting different places and meeting different people.

Nutrition and Grooming 

Good nutrition and proper grooming are essential for a healthy and happy life for your Cane Corso puppy. It’s important to feed your puppy a healthy, balanced diet and provide them with plenty of fresh water at all times. Discuss the type and amount of food with your veterinarian and make sure to buy high-quality dog food.

It’s also important to give your puppy regular grooming. Brush their coat daily to remove shedding hair and keep their coat healthy. Additionally, trim their nails regularly and brush their teeth to prevent dental problems and keep their breath fresh.

Exercise

Cane Corso puppies benefit from a healthy and active lifestyle. Make sure to take your puppy for regular walks and avoid excessive exercise, as their joints and bones are still developing. Provide plenty of play time and if possible, give your puppy a safe place to run and play like a backyard or a doggy park.
