How to control my pup’s temper?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

So, I have a pup back in my country, my mom got him, but I raised him till he was 5 months old, my mom got him, because mom lives alone in a countryside villa with a grandma, who’s got Alzheimer’s. So she’s taking care of her and wanted to have a friend and a loyal companion.

She has got a pup that’s half Cabe Corso, half Alabai. He’s got a very independent temper. I raised him till 5 and he was in my small apartment, he loved being around humans, couldn’t fall asleep without me and was chasing me everywhere. I made sure to show him love so he wouldn’t be aggressive when he’d grow up. He got spoiled though, when he broke rules, he fought to me instead of feeling guilty. He was more respectful to my brother though. To him I was more like a playmate.

So, at some point I had to leave and I made sure he’d get accustomed to my mom’s villa as smoothly as possible, so I often took him there, I tried to socialize him with other dogs and people, but one day one adult husky almost bite him and then I was more careful.

When he was little, he was scared of every dog, and sometimes he would look the other way to avoid the looks of other dogs. We didn’t want him to be so scared around every other dog, so we encouraged him to go out more often.

As he grew older, he got the genes of his Alabai parent, he is 10 months old now and is huge, about 65 kg, no fat. He’s no more afraid of anyone or anything.

Because we raised him like our own family member, he is very gentle and docile to us, but with others he is quite curious, aggressive and temperamental.

Today he jumped out of the top of the balcony and chased other dogs.

I wonder what we should do to make sure he doesn’t chase away other dogs and doesn’t make neighbors live in terror.

He has some friend dogs he never is aggressive to, but now that he is no longer scared if anything, he is more curious to explore the world and chases everything and everyone that moves.

Probably I made a mistake raising him the way I did and maybe I must have been more stroct, but it was my first time raising a pet, I now wonder, how do we make him more chill and relaxed. We don’t want neighbors to be scared and we want this boy to live as free life as possible.

Well y'all can start by not letting the dog out on the balcony and consider talking to and hiring a dog trainer cause they know their shit.

We had a fence over it, we have a yard and he has space for running and all, but it’s not enough for him, so he overpowered the fence and jumped out.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s the breed, but he’s a bit smaller since he is half cane corso, but he is as bulky and as strong as this doggo here

[MementoMori777]

Maybe a bigger fence is needed? I'd say go for the trainer that they most likely have basically anywhere and I feel like they might even tell you why he is acting the way he is

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yep, they went out today to order a bigger one.

Sounds like a good idea 😆👍💯

You should get a Leopard. A 10 month old dog can’t be 65kg by the way

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s the breed we are talking about

[Opinion Owner]

65kg at full grown, not 10 months

You should teach him who is the boss in the house, if he made something wrong you should show him with your emotions because they can understand, dogs are clever if you teach them they can understand..

He is being protective of his space. He doesn't want anyone or anything near his home. You have to train him that it's ok for them to be close by.

Look into obedience training.
