Also called the Italian Mastiff, they are often used as guard dogs due to their strong and muscular build. They are also loyal family dogs, although they are often disinterested or suspicious of strangers. The Corso comes from Italy, so they can handle the Dubai heat very well. Corso gets bored very easily. A bored Corso is likely to dig holes and chew on furniture if given nothing to do, so find an activity for him to do, such as agility or obedience lessons. The active Cane Corso is considered a happy Corso.
