Hey Everyone!
I thought I would share this article. I know we all think our Corgi's are perfect, but there are some who have problems. Not that we would love them any less. I thought this article was a little over the top. It sounds like the Corgi has Separation Anxiety or is just plain bored, which would explain the acting out. Thought the article was a little shocking myself, and it is interesting to read the facebook comments.
Note: This is an article to promote a training class, I think. So I wouldn't click on any links.

Most definitely a bid to get you to buy something. Granted I have never raised a corgi from a puppy, mine have all been adult rescues but the behaviors she is talking about I have faced with different breeds and mutts more so than with any of my corgis...not that they are angels. I totally agree that if they get bored they can be naughty but so can any other type of dog.
i've seen that before, it's a marketing ploy. they have a [breed]savvy.com for nearly every breed...
first i thought it was legit training, but then i realized it's just kind of a spam site. there isn't really a training class, i think it's just a book of more lame articles.
scam
"Okay, there’s no doubting that Corgis are gorgeous dogs: with their striking markings, softly plumed coat and happy wagging tail…"
"Stole food from the kitchen table when no one was looking"
Yeah, sounds like a corgi to me...
Unless the wagging tail was referring to a cardigan, but the picture looks like a pembroke, and the article doesn't specify which breed of corgi. And your kitchen table would have to be pretty low to the ground for a corgi to steal food off of it.
I have a 6 month old corgi puppy, have had her since she was 8 weeks, and don't get me wrong, training her was not as easy as I thought and I pulled out a lot of my hair at times, but with consistency and advice from other corgi owners and trainers, she is now growing into a really good dog. But I don't think any of the "bad" parts they listed are specific to corgi puppies (well except heal nipping maybe), and who gives their puppy such free access to do all the things listed?? Yes, Selkie would tear up my yard if I let her, she would gorge on the garbage if I let her, she would chew every pair of shoes I own if I let her. But the key to this is I don't let her! I keep her occupied and happy with fun games, training and exercise; and I would never let a puppy no matter the breed out of my sight long enough to do any of those bad things, if I can't hawk eye her she is in her x-pen or crate.
