Tips On Owning A Corgi

Owning a Corgi can be great for the family or just for a friend to have a round. But with this, there is responsibilities. And you should always think of your Corgi or Corgis as a part of the family. To help keep your Corgi in shape, try walking them four to five times a week depending on where you live. If you are living down town, close to work where they have almost no space to walking your Corgi around, you may try walking them around town on less busier streets at non rush hour times. But, if you are out of down town or have a yard, it is a good items to let your Corgi to go run around outside to get some exercise.

While thinking of your Corgi as a part of the family, you should always have your Corgi in most of your family time. ( I wouldn’t suggest having your Corgi join you for dinner if he or she likes to eat food, and tries to beg for it.) But like during Christmas, have a present or two for your Corgi.

Training your Corgi can also be a great time to bond with your Corgi. Instead of sending your Corgi off to some trainer that will cost you money (unless you want your Corgi to learn a trick but you have to no time to teach him or her) you should think about doing this. You could also try taking your Corgi to the park to teach them trick. Not only can you exercise, play, and teach your Corgi, but it will be also be good to get your Corgi the fresh air. These are just some of the things you can do to help your Corgi have a longer and happier life, and help you get closer with your Corgi.

Tips On How To Train Your Corgi

Training your Corgi can sometimes become hard depending on three different things: Your surroundings, the way you train, and what you are training. If someone was training their Corgi not to chew on a chair, table, and so on, that person would have to try and block off the area or object so the Corgi couldn’t get to it. And if he was to find his Corgi chewing on that object, he would have to say “NO” in loud, and firm voice. Never let your Corgi chew something he shouldn’t, and then after thirty minutes or a hour go yell and get mad at your Corgi. Your Corgi will not know what he has done wrong. This also goes for training your Corgi not to pee on something or in one area. If you do come home, or find that your Corgi have chewed something, or went to the bathroom on something, do not hurt your Corgi. Hurting your corgi can lead to several problems.

Now if you are training your Corgi to do trick or go to the bathroom in one area, and so on, the most important thing you will need will be something to reward your Corgi. A dog bone or even petting your Corgi can be the reward. But always make sure to reward your Corgi for doing the right thing. While training your Corgi a trick, you should make sure to only have short ten to fifth teen minute training periods. And try to keep it down to two to three times a day max. When you are training a Corgi to go to the bathroom, you should try to take your Corgi out every hour, and after your corgi drinks a lot of water or eats.

The surroundings is a major part of training your Corgi. If you are training your Corgi next to something that keeps distracting your Corgi, you have almost no chance of your Corgi learning anything. But, if you train your Corgi in a quiet or non distracting area, you will have a much better chance of teaching your Corgi whatever it is your teaching him. Also, try not to get mad at your Corgi if he or she doesn’t get it the first time. After a while your Corgi will learn what he or she is being taught. This is a short little guide on how to help you train your Corgi. Good luck, and have fun training.

Tips On How To Train A Corgi Puppy

Three Tips On How To Train A Corgi Puppy

 

Tip One On How To Train A Corgi Puppy: Voice

Trying to train your puppy can be easy or hard depending on where you are training your corgi, and what your training your corgi on. But when you praise your corgi, you must make sure you are praising your corgi in a soft voice, and not in a loud, harsh voice.

Tip Two On How To Train A Corgi Puppy: Location

Now depending on where you train your corgi puppy matters too. If your trying to train your corgi to sit while your at a party, or to sit while your next to a busy road in rush hour traffic, chances are, your not going to teach your corgi much. Try a location such as a backyard away from busy streets or empty room with no distractions.

Tip Three On How To Train A Corgi Puppy: Timing

If your trying to train your corgi puppy to not go on the carpet or on the couch, you don’t watch your corgi go on the couch then yell at him or her ten minutes later for that. All that does is make your corgi thing your being mean and doesn’t know what he or she did wrong. But if you see your corgi going on the floor and not in the spot he or she should be going to the bathroom in, you raise your voice and tell your corgi no.

When you put off training what your corgi needs to learn in about a week for a party or something like that, and you try to teach your corgi on that same day five hours before your event. Your corgi puppy will tend to get bored after the first thirty minutes you try to train during those hours.

So when it comes to training your corgi for a long period of time, make sure to space it out and let your corgi puppy have breaks in between so your corgi doesn’t get bored. If your puppy doesn’t get it within the first several days, don’t give up, and keep trying to train your corgi that command. After a while, your corgi should be preforming it on command, and make sure to give some positive reinforcement to make sure your corgi knows he or she has done a good job.

The Different Types Of Aggression For Corgis

Three Types Of Aggression Of Corgis

There are three types of aggression that your corgi could have, dominance, possessive, or territorial. Two of the aggressions ( territorial and possessive ) may cause your corgi to attack to keep their area or item safe which could lead to a injury for your corgi or the other dog that your corgi thinks is trying to take what is theirs. If your corgi has any of these aggressions, you must train your corgi to behave in public before it ever goes out to see people or things may go wrong.

Dominance Aggression Of Corgis

Dominance aggression can be just try to stay top dog. Most of the attempts of dominance that any dog tries effects people who don’t know that their corgi is trying to be more dominant. Your corgi may try and gain dominance by your corgi eating first, getting on top of you if your playing close to the ground, you move out of the way when your corgi blocks you off, or your corgi wins any game that uses strength. Dominance aggression is one of the hardest to be trained to stop because of instinct. Being more dominant than your corgi will stop this from occurring.

Possessive Aggression Of Corgis

Possessive aggression commonly happens with the runt of the liter due to survival instincts and how a pack works. The main problem is trying not to get bitten by getting near what your corgi is guarding. The item may be something as simple as a bone in most cases or food. Your corgi’s aggression for possession of something tends to stop when he or she gets older. Possessive aggression may also be to protect you, which can be a problem if other dogs are around. Again this tends tends to fade away when your corgi gets older, but sometimes it may not. But like dominance aggression, being more dominant can help stop your corgi from being as possessive over stuff.

Territorial Aggression Of Corgis

Territorial aggression, tends to be similar to possessive, but differs in some parts. Your corgi is protecting something, usually an area which he or she claims is his, while allowing certain dogs or humans to pass. Anyone which your corgi considers a stranger may be warned then attacked if the warning is ignored. This can be a serious try of aggression depending on what your corgi is trying to protect. This type of aggression will occur in younger and smaller corgis. Many times it is because of instinct that this happens. When your corgi is older this aggression, like the others, will fade. But the same thing with being dominant can also fix this problem.
