Dogs are one of the intelligent domesticated animals. They possess the ability to learn commands from words and body movements. Spending time teaching your corgi will not only develop the dog’s intellectual growth but will be equally therapeutic for you.

It is natural for dogs and humans to communicate. The fact is corgis recognize specific eye contacts, human body languages and responses, and specific tones of voices that can be used to effectively relay a message to them.

Eye contacts can convey several messages to your corgis. They sense your loving looks or reproofs. They can also understand when you are serious with your “No” or “Down” by how you look at them.

Dogs usually understand you’re body language responses even if you are not doing it intentionally for them. If you want your corgi to come to you without feeling threatened, be gentle in coaxing them or provide something as a treat. As he responds rightly, motivate him more by praising him. Since humans are bigger than corgis, they may feel intimidated just by moving suddenly towards him or by startling him unexpectedly.

Tones of your voices can be one of the most controlling tool to train and discipline corgis. Low pitched tones are useful if a master or dog owner wants their corgis to stop gnawing the edge of a couch or chewing socks. This sound may be similar to a growl of the corgi’s mother. Calm tones are similar to a bark for dogs and are helpful in giving commands. High pitched tones tend to remind the dogs of their playmates. They may treat you as their equal like that of children playing with them. This is best when encouraging your corgis to come near you or make them do something you want them to do.

Most often corgis are accustomed to non-verbal messages. They too, respond through their body language and simple barks, of course. Wagging of tail signifies “hello.” A low growl, raised hair, and exposed teeth, may mean that they are ready to attack. Most humans may underestimate dogs’ level of understanding. They can comprehend much more than how we expect them to be.

Your corgis practically live and move most of their lives in your environment. They will become familiar when you are happy, upset, distressed, lazy, or tired. Communicating with them effectively will deepen the bonding between you and your dog. Conversing regularly with them will make them familiarize by what you mean. Use the same actions or phrase over and over again until they completely understand. They always say constant practice makes permanent.

Striking or hitting your corgis is one of the worst ways of building a relationship or good communication. Don’t do it. This can only lead them in two ways: either they will fear you or hate you. Corgis will sense if you give them some respect or not. How they are treated is more likely how they will treat other dogs or other humans. Your neighbours will know the kind of master you are on how your corgis behave when there are other people around.
