@milkman93 I'm guessing you were training your dog with treats (aka external motivators) and R+, and the dog simply hasn't learnt to respect your authority, and now he has just grown up and chooses to do as he pleases. I've seen this a million times, and it always ends like this with any dog who...

@cj I used to use it in the age when e-collars were not widely available. For a dog that is properly conditioned to e-collar I don't see any reason to use it, so I haven't used it since. I guess there could be situations when the ecollar experience is ruined for the dog by poor training, so...

@skilletboy How did you introduce e-collar stimulation to your dog?

@johny111 Let me rephrase your question: "Can you train any dog to be as quiet at home as your current dog?" If that's what you're asking, then the answer is no. Yes, they're more vocal and less vocal breeds, but at the end of the day, it's all individual, so it's unfair to generalise. Now, to...

@hrse2wtr Unfortunately it's kinda impossible to solve via internet, I need to see how the dog reacts. Get a trainer, as soon as possible, the younger the dog is, the easier it will be to fix.

@hrse2wtr Most of the dogs I've seen who were constantly whining, they were also constantly unhappy. So whining was a symptom, not the problem. Not enough excercise, too stressful environment, not enough stimulation, too much stimulation, not enough quiet time, could be anything. To solve...

@jasdksdc Wow, your dog's line does both protection jobs and hunting, never heard of anything like it. How do they hunt? Like hounds in a pack? Or like gun dogs like pointers? I've never known anyone doing real hunting with a corso. Tbh, I've mostly seen pet corsos, with occasional "guarding"...

@bolarint Ok, so sounds like territorial aggression, probably fear-based. There are multiple method to work with reactivity. Whatever method that worked for you with your trainer is good (I assume there's some degree of positive reinforcement involved), you know how to use it, so continue doing...

@jasdksdc Congrats on your successful training! Just curious, you say your dog is from working line. What kind of job are cane corsos used for?

@bolarint What's her reaction distance, ie how close should the dog be for her to get tense? Is she ok when away from home, what's her behaviour like then? Is she ok when away from home and you're stationary, eg sitting on a bench?

@bolarint Could you add more details - what does the reactivity look like? Just give some examples.
