Cane Corso Training Dog Collar That Works Like Power Steering

This Cane Corso Training Dog Collar Will Make Dog Training Easy

It’s Power Steering When You Need it MostCane Corso Training Dog Collar

In all training, not just Cane Corso training there are many factors contributing to teaching a dog to do the most important 3 things any dog can learn:

  1. “Come” – No matter what!
  2. “Stay” – No matter what!
  3. “Heel” – No matter what!

Not just for safety but because doing those three things  “No matter what!” will allow you to take your Cane Corso more places and to do more things. People often end up leaving their Cane Corso at home because they have to not because they want to. Training matters and training tools matter.

I’ve been training dogs for over 25 years and I’ve learned that nature has a template. There are two big factors in nature that left unaddressed will keep you from achieving the “No matter what!” gold medal. They are:

  1. If a dog can’t be caught, a dog can’t be taught.
  2. When a dog realizes it’s stronger it’s less likely to listen any longer. (Is that a Cane Corso or not?)

A Cane Corso is by 18 months of age stronger than the average person. They have four wheel drive, four on the floor and a low center of gravity that makes them the H1 Hummer Alpha of the dog world. One of their pounds or kilograms is equal to three of ours. It’s no coincidence that it is at that age that I start getting calls from people needing help with their dog. When their body muscles kick in, their ear muscles turn off.

Is this you?

  • Instead of a real “Heel” the tractor pull dog walks has resulted in one of your arms is starting to get a little longer than the other.
  • Your Cane Corso thinks that “Come” means, “If you have a minute could you check your calendar?”
  • A “Stay” only lasts as long as the treats hold out

You may never be as strong as your Cane Corso but with the right Cane Corso training collar you can make your dog think you are!

As Cesar Millan says, the ideal place for a dog training collar is under the jaws and behind the ears. Whatever collar you’ve tried you know how hard that is to do in real life. The flat collars loosen, the chain collars slide down to the neck, the prong collars hold the dog back but they don’t learn anything. This is never more important than when Cane Corso training. With a Cane Corso’s genetics and corresponding size effective, high quality equipment is a must.

The Wade Cane Corso Training Dog Collar advantages are:

  • The Wade Cane Corso training collar stays up. (It has an ingeniously placed cord lock that you slide down to keep the collar snug behind the ears and under the jaws.)
  • It’s dog friendly. Unlike a lot of collars your dog will be happy to wear it.
  • It’s easy to put on. Just slip it over the head.
  • It’s low profile, light weight and Cane Corso strong. (Quality hardware and the collar material is used in the horse industry.)
  • Affordable!

  1. There are several sizes available:If your Cane Corso falls into the 80 – 90 # range the minimum size you’ll need a 20″ Cane Corso Training Collar
  2. If your Cane Corso falls into the 90 – 100# range the minimum size you’ll need a 22″ Cane Corso Training Collar
  3. If your Cane Corso falls into the 100#+ range the minimum size you’ll need a 24″ Cane Corso Training Collar

Important: Because each collar is adjustable and can alternatively be fitted around the dog’s head instead of slipping it over there is a lot of sizing wiggle room. A 24″ collar will work with a 150# Cane Corso with room to spare.

    My Cane Corso is one year old and weighs 137lbs and is strong .Which size would you recommend?

    1. Hi Giacomo,

      The best way to find the right fit is by measuring your Cane Corso’s skull at the largest point. Remember – measure your dog’s skull – NOT your dog’s neck. For really large versions of the Cane Corso and other Molosser breeds a 24″ collar should do the job depending on how you want to put the collar on and take it off.

      There are two ways that you can put this collar on your Cane Corso. The first is by putting it on your Cane Corso as you would a necklace with a clasp. Put it around the neck and attach the clasp. In the second case you would be putting the collar on your Cane Corso like you would a necklace without a clasp. That is by leaving the snap attached to the sliding ring and slipping the collar directly over your dog’s head. In this scenario the collar has to be a little larger as the dog’s skull is wider than the eventual ideal resting place for the collar which is behind the ears and under the jaw and no lower.

      If your Cane Corso’s skull measurement is under 24″ but above 22″ you would need a 24″ collar if you wanted to put the collar on either way. If it’s really close to 24″ and you purchase a 24″ collar and you find it’s too snug to make it easily slip over your dog’s head you can still put it on and take it off like the necklace with the clasp. If your dog’s skull is 24″ or larger, a 24″ will still do the job but you won’t be able to slip it over and off. If this matters to you I have a 30″ collar. I personally prefer a collar that is as close to ideal a fit as possible as it leaves less material sticking out for a dog to perhaps chew.

      Remember, measure the skull not the neck.

    Hi John!

    Great read, I was curious on your thoughts for my Cane Corxer as he’s 5 months old and bigger everyday. I have a toddler at home and we’re struggling with jumping and nibbling. I have been looking into whistles, clickers, and different training collars and can’t find much info on the designer breed as far as recommendations or tried and true products. If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!

    1. Hi Nycole,

      The equipment/tools you choose has an impact, but I think (if I understand your query) the most important “tool” is your learning how he sees the world, making connections as to who is the teacher and the student. It would be best if you learned how to train. Check out my nature’s template ebook. The Beautiful Balance – Dog Training with Nature’s Template™

  3. I have a 150 pound male cane corso…what size do you recommend? Ty

    1. Hi Debbie,

      A 24″ may not slip over his head but could be attached like a necklace, where you’d wrap it around his neck and fasten as opposed to pre-attach the ends and try to slip over his head. If you have a tailor’s tape wrap it around the largest part of his head and let me know the length.

    How do you measure a dog’s skull. My Corso just turned 3 years old and he weighs 152 pounds. We had a shock collar when he was younger but it did not phase him at all. We need something stronger.

    1. Hi Kim,

      You would use a tailor’s measuring tape. You would use it to surround his skull at its largest point. If you don’t have a tailor’s tape, you can use a piece of string marking the point where it meets the beginning of the string and then stretch it out against a yard stick. In all likelihood he’s a 24″ collar. A 24″ may not slip over his head but could be attached like a necklace, where you’d wrap it around his neck and fasten as opposed to pre-attach the ends and try to slip over his head.

      However, that said, I very much suspect that as important as equipment plays in the role of training a large mature male Cane Corso, the bigger issue, and therefore what I think you should be focusing on is the approach to training you’re taking. A collar should be a tool that is used to keep a dog from being able to physically “Tsunami” the persons living with the dog. Sort of an emergency brake. It also should serve the purpose of being able to more easily acquire the dog’s attention when distracted. Outside of that, it’s all about your approach to training.

      If he’s 3 years old and you’re still having trouble with him you may be using the most common approach to training, which I don’t recommend as it typically doesn’t work very well at teaching life skills. Although the trainers that recommend and use it don’t realize it, it’s more for tricks. This approach is called various things “’All Positive/Purely Positive/Force-Free/Never Say No/R+…’, treat, treat, treat”.

      An alternative, which I also would avoid is an approach the many Cane Corso owners get subjected to which is the ‘Might Is Right’, Alpha, Pack Leader, Dominant (Yank and Crank) approach.

      You need the approach I use which is far more teacher/student based. Part of which is establishing that you’re a loving authority figure as opposed to a roommate, which is what most dogs seem to think their owners are. You can read about approaches good and bad in my eBook. What Are The Different (best and worst) Puppy and Dog Training Methods (ebook) This book isn’t a book about how to train. It’s about the approaches to training a dog that all companion dog owners should be aware of before selecting a trainer. It should help you in your search for finding a dog trainer that knows what they’re doing.
