<p>After 1+ years of waiting, I finally arrive at the time where I am be able to settle down & finally have a corgi of my own! hooray!!</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>I have done research about corgi care & will still research more before getting one,</p>
<p>approximately half-1 year later.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It would be great to get an input from all veteran corgi owners here.<br></br><br></br></p>
<p>What will you say to a newbie corgi owner?</p>

<p>or what you wish every corgi owner know before…</p>

<p>I'm hoping someone knows what I am looking for and where I might find it. I recently saw a dog carrier on a TV show that looked like an infant carrier. I think it could be used as a front or rear carrier. It had holes for the front legs and the bottom just held the dog's butt like a seat without holes. The dogs demonstrating it on the show looked comfortable. One was small and the other more medium, corgi sized. Not sure how it would be used in general, as dogs can just walk and hike…</p>
<p>I'm hoping someone knows what I am looking for and where I might find it. I recently saw a dog carrier on a TV show that looked like an infant carrier.

The dogs demonstrating it on the show looked comfortable. One was small and the other more medium, corgi sized. Not sure how it would be used in general, as dogs can just walk and hike along-side humans, but I need something to take Sully on trains and buses which require her to be in a carrier. I think it would be easier to carry her on my back for those brief occasions since it would be hard to use a cane and carry/lift a regular wheeled carrier, and I refuse to use a stroller for an animal. The one I saw on TV was about $50. on sale. Has anyone seen such a thing? I forget what it was called.

<p>Maddie's worsening hind end weakness sent us searching for a sturdy harness with a handle on top so we can assist her if needed on single steps, or if she gets wobbly on uneven ground. The vet said it would be a good idea and we agreed, so we went off to PetSmart and found none. We then tried Pet Supplies Plus and found one we really like. It's the Petsafe Easy Sport Harness.…</p>

<p>The sizing is funny. Based on the measurements, she should wear a medium, but she ended up needing a small. We kept the medium because it fits Jack, and we thought we'd try it on him.</p>
<p></p>
<p>She isn't crazy about wearing a harness so we are getting her used to it slowly. What I don't like is that you have no control of her head, so if she decides to wander around aimlessly looking for sticks, it's hard to get her head up. But I think once she gets used to it, it will serve its purpose.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It really shines, however, for Jack. It may be hard to tell by the picture, but the hook for the leash actually sits on top, in the middle of the back. I don't know how it would work for a puller, but for a lagger like Jack, it's perfect. A gentle pull on the leash starts to push him off-balance enough that he can't plant his feet; he needs to move to keep from getting tippy. Jack is trained through CGC and he knows "heel" but on a normal loose-leash walk, he tends to sometimes have his own ideas about where he wants to go. If his plan is different than ours, he will do the Corgi foot-plant and lower himself to the ground so his low center of gravity works agains us. This harness makes it very difficult for him to do that, because when I pull on the leash it puts pressure up from underneath his body and gives me, instead of him, the mechanical advantage. He looked a bit surprised and a little perturbed, but the harness didn't seem to bother him or give him any discomfort. And the harness distributes a pull around his body instead of on his neck, which I never did like. He also sometimes crowds me a bit if he is in a situation where he is likely to get a treat and is looking up at me in a formal "heel" position. With this harness, if I push the leash away from me it puts gentle pressure against his inside torso which pushes him back out to the correct position, in much the way you'd use a leg aid to push a horse out into a corner.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will see how he does once he gets more used to it, but so far it seems to work well.</p> Moving Cross Country with my Corgitag:mycorgi.com,2014-10-20:1150197:Topic:18908312014-10-20T21:55:42.838ZDogloverhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Doglover

<p>Thanks so much Linda, Beth and Stephanie. I'm familiar with Mayflower. I'm always looking. I had heard there was a breeder very close to us in Hudson Falls, NY. But haven't had any success in finding it. Hopefully someone will know. Again thanks so much!</p>
