Leash Training Your Cane Corso: Step by Step Guide
Step One
Let your cane Corso get used to wearing a harness. This step is important because you want your dog to feel comfortable in its new accessory! You can accomplish this by putting the harness on them for short periods, and rewarding them with treats every time they wear it. Soon enough they will be excited when you put it on them.
Step Two
Start training your cane Corso to walk next to you, even when they are wearing their harness. Find a treat that is very special for your dog and only give it to them if they move closer towards you while the harness is still on. This will make walking close by feel like an amazing thing! Soon they will be following you around the house and yard wherever you go.

Step Three
Practice walking your cane Corso by their side while not giving them any treats. Once again, only give them a special treat if they move closer to you without being prompted first. Soon enough your dog will follow obediently at your heels! This is the final step of leash training your cane Corso.
Step Four
Take the harness off and allow them to walk freely next to you on their own, or with a light tug line attached (for some extra guidance). Make sure they are always wearing their collar so that you can attach their tags if needed! Make this an enjoyable experience for them by giving them praise and treats when they do a good job.
Step Five
Practice walking your cane Corso on their own for short periods, alternating between rewarding them with special treats and not treating them at all (if you want to be sure that they listen even without the promise of food). Soon enough you’ll be able to take them on walks for miles!
