When properly raised, trained and socialized, Corso can love and protect children. However, it is important that puppies and adult dogs are not allowed to chase children and that children avoid making high pitches in his presence. Running and screeching can make Corso associate children with prey. Keep it locked up when the kids are running around and making noise, especially if your kids have friends. Corso may find it necessary to step in and protect “his” children, which is unlikely to end well. Ball games or – for young children – helping to hold the leash is a good way for children to interact with a Cane Corso puppy or an adult.
