<p>Cody stresses terribly when I leave for work. I thought I might give the "anxiety wrap" a try. I was wondering if anyone else has had success with one and what size is good for an adult corgi. Cody is about 30 lbs and his chest is 22 inches around. I don't want to get one that's too big since it works off of accupressure and needs to be snug. Thanks for any advice!</p>

<p>Today my dog-walker/sitter (who's a great woman, very patient and kind to dogs) told me that one of my corgis is losing clumps of hair and her diagnosis is stress. I didn't realize my baby was stressed out and now I'm really worried. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I would appreciate it very much.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">So I had my first Corgi mix foster come into our home on Monday. She is super sweet, TINY, and really timid and quite. However, I'm starting to get concerned with the way my female Corgi, Carly, is starting to act.

<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">So I had my first Corgi mix foster come into our home on Monday. She is super sweet, TINY, and really timid and quite. However, I'm starting to get concerned with the way my female Corgi, Carly, is starting to act. Truthfully I was a bit concerned about how she might react because even though I LOVE her guts, she is a bit neurotic. :)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">The first day she was great and would sniff the new recruit and then go about her business. However the next morning I started noticing her acting a bit weird. If I would give the new dog attention she would sit across the room away from us and stair. She doesn't do that when I love on Finn, my other male six month old Corgi.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Then when I came home from work at lunch time to let everyone out Carly had had a major diarrhea blow out in her crate. I cleaned and disinfected her and the crate but the problem persisted all day yesterday. Luckily I was home and she asked quite clearly to go out. I can't figure out if she just was having stomach upset, happens sometimes, or if it is a sign that she is stressed out with the change to her routine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I also have noticed that she has been much more aggressive toward the newbie. For instance the new girl does a happy dance whenever people walk toward her and Carly has started barking and charging her when she does this. Luckily the new dog is very tolerant and just ignores her; also I know now and head it off before it happens.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I would love to foster, but my primary responsibility and loyalty belongs to my dogs and making sure they are happy. Finnegan is fine with it all, besides the fact that he is a 22 pound 6 month old and I have to keep him from trying to play a bit too rough.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I'm so torn. This foster is moving to a long term home with a probable adoption this Saturday. I was asked if I could switch out and take a new one on that same day. I had to say that I only could if it was less than a week, because my dogs seem stressed and need a break so the rescue had to find a new foster home. Has anyone else had issues with their dogs and their reaction to being a foster home? I think I will try it again after I give them a break, but I may have to just be a short term (couple of nights) foster on their way to something more permanent.</span></p> Colonel keeps licking his feet??tag:mycorgi.com,2011-06-28:1150197:Topic:11322472011-06-28T14:07:44.410ZColonel and Kristinehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/colonel
<p>Hey everyone, has anyone run into this problem...just recently I've noticed my Pembroke Colonel keeps licking his one foot. I thought something was wrong with it, but there is no rash, nothing stuck or lodged in his paw, no cuts..I even thought maybe his feet are just dirty so I washed his feet but still he keeps licking it. We just recently moved to NYC and I'm wondering if it's because he's stressed or bored being in a smaller apartment now. My fiance thinks that it might be his…</p>
<p>Hey everyone, has anyone run into this problem...just recently I've noticed my Pembroke Colonel keeps licking his one foot. I thought something was wrong with it, but there is no rash, nothing stuck or lodged in his paw, no cuts..I even thought maybe his feet are just dirty so I washed his feet but still he keeps licking it. We just recently moved to NYC and I'm wondering if it's because he's stressed or bored being in a smaller apartment now. My fiance thinks that it might be his food.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We thought recently that he had food allergies so after a trip to the vet and several tries later we have him on this no chicken, no grain, no filler, all natural food, it's a Wellness brand. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The licking isn't out of control yet, but I'm afraid of it becoming obsessive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>any one have any insight?</p>

As many of you already know, I have recently moved into a new place. Since I have been here, Wynstan has had only loose stools. He gets more exercise here than he did at my old house, because the yard here doesn't retain that much water and he doesn't get muddy here.<br />
<br />
So that leads me to two questions:<br />
<br />
1. Could the loose stools be attributed to the stress of staying at a new place? (we have been here for a week and a half, we couldn't move earlier due to a water line busting and they just now…

<br />
1. Could the loose stools be attributed to the stress of staying at a new place? (we have been here for a week and a half, we couldn't move earlier due to a water line busting and they just now made half of the rooms inhabitable.)<br />
<br />
2. When is a good time to let him go up and down stairs on his own? I have been training him with it already, if I would let him, he would run up and down them all day.

Trunks has an unusual issue. He is the first male dog I've owned, and this just is frustrating. Trunks is a worry wart, and sometimes he has accidents brought on by stress. We try our best not to make him stressed out, but it happens. He is stressed when people visit, etc. It is his personality.<br />
<br />
The main problem with the accidents is that he doesn't have them in one spot. He kinda pees as he runs around (usually our living room carpet) and leaves a line of pee behind him. This doesn't happen a…

This doesn't happen a lot, but is frustrating none the less. Pandora hasn't had an accident since she was a little puppy, but Trunks has one about every three months. He is the best little dog and has been doing better, so I'm not worried about correcting the stress problem. We are working on that.<br />

Bailey has just turned two and he is a joy to have around but one thing that I have been dealing with since I got him as a puppy is his clingy-ness. I'm ok with him following me around when I'm at home but my problem is when I leave to go to work or run errands. I put him in his crate and he barks and whines, once I get home and let him out of his crate he is dripping wet from where he has been panting the whole time I was gone, I've tried to crate train him and he is fine until he hears my car…
Bailey has just turned two and he is a joy to have around but one thing that I have been dealing with since I got him as a puppy is his clingy-ness. I'm ok with him following me around when I'm at home but my problem is when I leave to go to work or run errands. I put him in his crate and he barks and whines, once I get home and let him out of his crate he is dripping wet from where he has been panting the whole time I was gone, I've tried to crate train him and he is fine until he hears my car start and then the barking and panting begins. I put his favorite bone and kong in the crate with him and he does not touch them. I know that he is stressed out because I'm not with him so I have tried to get him to be by himself more often to build his confidence by making him sleep by himself in the laundry room and giving him things to do like kongs stuffed with cheese and frozen peanut butter and his other chew toys but if I'm not in room with him he will not touch his toys. I don't know what to do to help Bailey be confident by himself. Since I have made him start sleeping by himself he will not sleep during the night at all, he just whines and pants at the door leaving a huge puddle of drool. Now he sleeps all day after using all his energy whining. I feel like I've tried all the tricks and nothing has worked. Does anyone have any advice for Bailey & I?
