Cane Corso Enrichment: Games and Activities
The AKC rates the Cane Corso 3/5 for mental stimulation needs: a mix of easy games and the odd harder puzzle works well.
It scores 4/5 for energy, so active games like tug, hide and seek and sniff walks help burn it off.
Activities to try with your Cane Corso
Flirt pole chase
A lure on a rope at the end of a pole that your dog chases along the ground: lots of exercise in a few minutes.
Digging pit with buried toys
A kiddie pool or sandbox of clean sand where digging is allowed, with toys buried for your dog to find.
Living-room obstacle course
A mini agility course from things you already have: chairs to weave round, a box to go through, books to step over.
Hide and seek with you
Your dog waits in one room while you hide, then finds you when you call. No food or equipment needed.
Sniff walk
A slow walk where your dog chooses the direction and the pace and gets to sniff as long as they like. Twenty to thirty minutes can tire a dog as much as a longer, faster walk.
Toilet tube treat dispenser
An empty toilet-roll tube with kibble inside and the ends folded shut. Your dog has to tear it open to get the food.
