As the dog wagged its tail, the trainer continued: “Do you see that tail going now? Now he knows who he’s dealing with. But that’s what we say when you have a protective type of dog, you have a guardian dog, you’ve got to be careful how to approach your own home.”

A third wrote: “My dad has a Corso pit mix, and she has no problem with us opening the door unannounced during the day, but at night, you have to call her name so she knows who’s in the house, then she won’t growl.”
