Aggressive Corgi Puppies

As a puppy, my corgi, Pepper, was very aggressive. If you tried to give her love and kisses she'd get almost vicious and try (and sometimes succeed) to bite your face, or whatever was nearest to her mouth. Since she was about 4 months or so she got out of that and has been the best PWC anyone could ever ask for. Now she wouldn't dream of biting anyone, except our yellow lab, who she thinks is a cow and tries to herd her everywhere she goes, lol.
Has anyone else had this problem out of their corgi puppy?

Yes, I can relate! Our corgi, Wookie, used to TRY to tell us what was acceptable to him. He quickly grew out of that stage, as far as humans go. He does still have issues with other animals. He had been properly socialized. He likes to snap at animals who aproach his face. Not acceptable! He is a work in progress at slightly over a year old. Good luck with Pepper!

Pepper is great now, not really aggressive usually. She loves cats, and protects them like their her own. Good luck with Wookie!

Sparty was a real stinker as a puppy! I really had to get a lot of obedience training to deal with him. At ten he still has his moments when he needs a reminder about who is boss but he is a really good dog now. Izzy has been easy from the beginning. It is funny how different they can be.

Jack was not mean, but he was all teeth and would bite very hard in play. He would also growl ferociously at his food dish if I tried to move it, so I worked on "trading up" to convince him food aggression was unnecessary.

He's a wonderful adult, very happy-go-lucky, but man can he be stubborn! LOL

I have no idea what Maddie was like as a puppy, since we got her as an adult, but just one stern "no" is enough for her to stop what she's doing and put her ears back. She'll sneak behind your back to get what she wants, though! So I guess the Corgi stubborn streak will come out, one way or the other.
