Always remember a Corgi is a 30-pound dog that was bred to move cattle, so they do have a lot of attitude. :-) The key is to direct that attitude into acceptable outlets. A daily walk is essential for most dogs' well-being, but especially for a smart athletic dog like a Corgi. I agree with Sam that more advanced classes would give him something to focus on. Mine also love chasing tennis balls around, or some prefer a larger ball they can "herd" around with their noses.<br />

As far as giving up a spot, "Off" is a great command for any dog to learn. Mine get one chance to move willingly before they get unceremoniously plopped on the floor, IF they are awake. I always give my dogs the courtesy of giving them a couple seconds to wake up if they were sound asleep, since I would want that courtesy myself.<br />

Good luck with your Corgi, and enjoy your extra time together! Thank you! I agree Corgis are…tag:mycorgi.com,2010-03-14:1150197:Comment:6311112010-03-14T18:48:44.222ZMary Mhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/MMerkle
Thank you! I agree Corgis are very smart...sometimes I can actually see the wheels spinning in Radar's mind.<br />
Now that the weather is improving a daily walk would do us both good. Our past pet was satified to be passive and we got spoiled with that. I have noticed our Corgi's ears perk up whenever I pick up his leash and I have to admit I get caught up in things that I have to do. I need to slow down and get back to the basics of what Radar needs as well. Thanks again for reminding me of what is…

How about advance classes? learning is a lifetime thing, it takes practice to build a strong bond between you and your dog, corgis are very smart and you need to stimulate him mentally and physically, all it takes is 15-30 mins each night, give him a purpose and dedicate to walk him daily. It is awesome that you can spend more time with him now, good luck!
