Koda is a 3 year old pure bred Cane Corso. He’s up to date on all vaccines, no health problems, and he’s about 101 pounds. I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks old. He’s been with me and my other dog since then.
He’s a great dog, very well trained. He is house trained, crate trained, and place trained. He knows hand signs, and German for certain commands. About a year ago, he had a traumatic incident at the vet and became very insecure and lost confidence after that. I’ve been working with him in all areas to ensure he’s a well-rounded confident dog. He has fear and food aggression. He’s bitten me and growled at others for being around his food and petting him in certain instances. He resource guards food and that’s the big aggressor for him that gets him to lash out and bite.
I’ve sent Koda to a two-week board and train and learned much about how I can be the best owner for him. I’ve changed myself and my habits to make sure I’m fulfilling him whether that be more exercise, more training, and corrections. I’ve noticed a huge positive shift in him. He’s more confident and less insecure with touch and meeting people and being in all types of environments. I was even able to have a sitter with him for a few days when I had to leave for a work trip. However, he is still struggling with food aggression.
Koda is genuinely a great dog, and this breaks my heart because I’ve tried and tried to do everything to help. He requires someone who has calm, strong leadership and doesn’t back down. He needs someone who can work consistently in these areas for him. Because of the food aggression, I wouldn’t recommend him to be placed with kids. Koda loves to run and play fetch. He is a natural protector, which is a beautiful thing.
