<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>My corgi, Cody, started nipping at his hindquarter a couple days ago. He has had hot spots before, but I didn't see any red skin, so I know it isn't that. I did feel a lot of small lumps under his skin next to his spine. I'm really worried. He seems to be walking different too, like swaying more in his hind legs. The lumps seem to be painful to him, or itchy, I'm not sure which. Cody is 10 yrs old and is a purebred. He has been healthy all his life with only a sensitive tummy…</p>
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>My corgi, Cody, started nipping at his hindquarter a couple days ago. He has had hot spots before, but I didn't see any red skin, so I know it isn't that. I did feel a lot of small lumps under his skin next to his spine. I'm really worried. He seems to be walking different too, like swaying more in his hind legs. The lumps seem to be painful to him, or itchy, I'm not sure which. Cody is 10 yrs old and is a purebred. He has been healthy all his life with only a sensitive tummy to worry about (and the one time hot spot). He has for years done this weird thing where he acts startled or like someone pinched him from behind and it's as if he is trying to get away from it. It only last for a few seconds and then he's seemed fine. Has anyone experienced any of these issues? The lumps on under his skin next to his spine are my biggest concern. I plan to take him to the vet within the next week. Update: Cody does have a hot spot on his left hind quarter. It wasn't there this morning but now it's red and raw. Still not sure what the lumps are. I had some spray left over from his last bout with hot spots and he seems a little more comfortable now that I sprayed it.</p> Is a corgi suitable for me?tag:mycorgi.com,2014-08-27:1150197:Topic:18816082014-08-27T09:27:49.901ZNatsuhi Shirosakihttp://mycorgi.com/profile/NatsuhiShirosaki
<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am new here and new to corgis so I would really really appreciate your thoughts. In advance I apologize for the essay.</p>

<p>I have always loved animals since I was young, be it chicken, rabbits, cats, turtles, dogs, etc. I have always lived with dogs during childhood although I did not personally take full responsibility of it, we usually share between each family member, currently I take full responsibility owning a rabbit. so if…</p>
<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am new here and new to corgis so I would really really appreciate your thoughts. In advance I apologize for the essay.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My background:</p>
<p>I have always loved animals since I was young, be it chicken, rabbits, cats, turtles, dogs, etc. I have always lived with dogs during childhood although I did not personally take full responsibility of it, we usually share between each family member, currently I take full responsibility owning a rabbit. so if i own a dog it will be the first time I take full responsibility for it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>How I came to love corgi:</p>
<p>as mentioned I have always loved dogs regardless of the breed, although big-giant breed size does intimidate me a little, but I never favor/obsessed a certain breed. However! as soon as I saw a corgi I feel "this is the one!"</p>
<p></p>
<p>My situation:</p>
<p>I want to have a dog (pretty dead set on getting a corgi) in future when everything settle down. Since I currently do not have the time to have a dog and I want to make sure I own a dog responsibly and commit to give the best to it. So I have been researching literally almost everything about corgi including general guide to owning a dog. </p>
<p></p>
<p>My problem:</p>
<p>After loads of research about corgi traits, I am confident I can handle with most of them except two:</p>
<p>STUBBORNESS and high pitched BARKING</p>
<p></p>
<p>1> stubbornness, I know that proper training can "fix" this problem and that establishing the pack leader role is essential, however I found that a lot of people here even the most experienced one on corgi has problem with their stubbornness. for example planting feet on walks, ignoring commands....although I know this vary from dogs to dogs but betting entirely on "I hope I get the dog that obeys more that the other" is not a good plan. I want an obedient dog....</p>
<p></p>
<p>2> The reason why I avoid a small breed is because of their high pitched barking and I know that some corgis have really high pitched bark and that they bark A LOT. again, betting on getting a corgi that doesn't bark a lot is a unreliable gamble. I don't mind a low pitch bark, though.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So based on the 2 problem I mentioned, do you think a corgi is suitable for me? are these two setbacks workable? or are they a red flag as to not get a corgi? I really really really want one but I am might reluctantly drop the idea if you think a corgi is not suitable for me.</p>

<p>Ps: Pardon me if I say anything inappropriate, it is unintentional</p> Doing a great trick, but the wrong onetag:mycorgi.com,2009-05-26:1150197:Topic:4311192009-05-26T16:06:30.422ZGoGoRainbowhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/GoGoRainbow40
What should be your response when a pup chooses to do one of her other tricks instead of the one you are asking for? Its beautiful, but not the right one.<br />
<br />
Pooka is very smart and learns tricks well. She's currently 7 months.<br />
She knows: sit, lie down, kisses, roll over, shake, speak, spin around, high five, jump up, fetch, drop it, play dead, walk-around-me<br />
We're working on back-up and stand-up. (we are holding off on stand-up now cuz we don't want to hurt her back while she's still…

We're working on back-up and stand-up. (we are holding off on stand-up now cuz we don't want to hurt her back while she's still growing).<br />
<br />
If they don't do the one you're asking, do you say "No/Uh-uh" (negative) cuz its not the one you asked for? Or do you say "good [trick-she-actually-did]".<br />
<br />
Currently I've been doing the negative cuz she's such a pa-toot! She'll do all her favorite/easy tricks instead of the harder ones. But I worry that... then she'll think its bad to do that trick?<br />
<br />
There was a while she hated to roll-over and she'd always spin around instead. Now she is great, and maybe it wasn't laziness, it was just needing to work on her understanding the words. When she doesn't know what words I'm saying, I think she does some random tricks cuz she really wants the treat.<br />
<br />
That's the realization that kind've made me start thinking maybe I shouldn't be negative and I just don't know the proper way to handle this.
