Dog trainer shares vital warning about Cane Corso breed as Jack Fincham jailed
Many were left shocked yesterday (January 29) when it was revealed that Love Island star Jack Fincham was jailed after his dog bit someone.
The reality TV star was jailed for six weeks after his black Cane Corso dog, called Elvis, bit a runner. However, the 32-year-old, who won the 2018 series of Love Island with Dani Dyer, was released from prison within hours of being sentenced because he appealed his sentence.
The dog bit a runner in September 2022 in Swanley, Kent, and attacked a woman in Grays, Essex, last year also.

It comes after one dog trainer shared a warning about the breed on TikTok as he told people to be cautious around "protective dogs".
Speaking through his American Standard Dog Training account, known under the handle, @americanstandardk9, the dog expert shared his views with his 3.7million followers.
He shared a video which began with the dog barking. The trainer said: "Do you know what he's barking at folks? My wife, who he loves. But that's typical Corsos.
Highly defensive, might bite first and ask questions later, even when it's just your lovely wife coming back from a day out on the town with my little daughter."
As the dog wagged his tail, the trainer added: "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."
He shared an imaginary scenario where his wife comes back from a night out with her friends and she forgot her keys, so she comes in the back door instead of the front door. "We could have a problem and we'll be waking up to something else," he said.
Concluding, her said: "So, I'm just telling you to be careful. You've got to be very mindful of the type of breed you're bringing home and the type of training you're doing in and around your home or the lack of training. You can have incidents happen, even with your own loving pet. Something to think about."
The video racked up a staggering 1.9million likes, as many people took note. One person wrote: "I love this video. He doesn’t even need to explain the obvious. He is literally explaining that if you get breeds like that, just know what they are packing. We just need to educate ourselves!"
While another added: "This vaguely explains, why my Mom got bitten by my dog. Incidents do happen."
A third chimed in: "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."
