Hi Christina,
You might try a greyhound collar. It tightens when they pull on the leash. My Charlotte can pull out of it, but only when she is being really stubborn. Carol

Do you have a PetSmart around? There is a harness that I suggest to my clients. It's called a "comfort harness." It's made with a double ring on the top. The harness fits kind of like a bra would: The legs go through the holes and the straps come around the withers. It's adjustable on the breastbone, as well. It usually fits barrel chested dogs very well.

Lupine collars work very well. They have two different loops of which you can attach a lead. One has a slip function much like the greyhound collar. The other works like a plain buckle collar. Depending on what you are planning at the particular time you can choose the loop you need. Several of my pals used this for agility classes where only a plain buckle collar was used.

Thanks for the input everyone! I appreciate it!!

I don't know about your corgies but when ours gets free from his leash it's a good 30 minutes of chasing him around the neighborhood... he thinks it's sooooooo funny!

When you corgi gets loose and runs try calling him as you're running the opposite direction. Sometimes that works.

I got the size that fit Tracker's chest and pulled the stitches and resewed the collar part. Fits him well. Sewing machine was barely heavy enough but it did it.
