The most important thing in training is consistency. You have to be consistent with your approach to everything you do with your Corgi. If you feed your Corgi the same food at the same time--she will have to "go" at the same time every day. Once you find out how long it takes between eating and "going," and notice the other signs that she has to go, you can preempt her and take her outside.

Once you find out how long it takes between eating and "going," and notice the other signs that she has to go, you can preempt her and take her outside. Corgi's thrive on praise and positive reinforcement. Verbally praise her when she "goes" outside, and reward her with a treat.

It takes a long time. It also takes lots of interaction from you. Routine outings and praise when she goes. Lots of supervision so you learn her…
