Ears not perking

Goliath will be 3 months next Thursday and his ears have not gone erect. Anyone have advice? I have been giving him yogurt a couple times a week for some calcium. They seem to be in this half erect stage where it looks like they WANT to stand, but don't fully! I will not love him any less but I love the perky ears! :/ Any advice? I am kind of afraid to tape them not only because I don't fully understand how to do it, but I don't know how it works. Help!

Hey there, check out the FAQ post about this very subject! :) Do not be afraid to tape your pup's ears. If done properly, it will not hurt the dog in any way, and gives them that awesome corgi look in the end!

Thank you! I am going to give it another couple of weeks then think about taping.

I would just tape them. I use this method only with 1.5-2" wide masking tape:

It's really not too hard and the puppy won't mind after a few minutes. IMO it's better to get them up sooner than to leave them down and have to fight them for weeks.
