<p>Sharp verbal commands work for the most part, except when he shows aggression then I pin him along with verbal command; Or if he acts to rough with my daughter he's pinned also. Tabasco sauce ended his chewing the furniture faze, and 3 squirts of the squirt bottle ended his heel nipping. <br/>Corgis are super smart ^_^ I swear Lemmy knows every work coming from my mouth.</p>

<p>I try to use Beth's method. There are some things where discipline seems in order. I used a squirt bottle on Snickers until she learned not to bite Jack hard when herding. I use time outs for excessive barking. I make a game show buzzer noise EHH when they forget and go through a door without permission. Other things I try to redirect. Jack Spaniels is tall enough to counter surf, and every few years he forgets he's not supposed to, so I set up a booby trap of coke cans tied to meat. The…</p>

Jack Spaniels is tall enough to counter surf, and every few years he forgets he's not supposed to, so I set up a booby trap of coke cans tied to meat. The rest of the time we try to keep food away from the edge when we step out of the room. He also likes to steal tissues out of the bathroom trash- out comes the hot sauce. The things they sneak to do -because they know better are usually caused by too much freedom and boredom, so I try to avoid those situations. good discussion topic, by the way.</p> A general yell and "hey" is a…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-08-28:1150197:Comment:16106442012-08-28T19:31:04.357Zmosesbotbolhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/mosesbotbol
<p>A general yell and "hey" is all that's needed. If go over to her quickly and with authority, she'll stop right in her tracks. Luckily it's not often hence not refining my method any. Camber is a good girl almost all the time. She listens and respects me much more than Elys, but she likes Elys more.</p>

<p>Ace is independent by nature so time outs would actually be rewarding him! When he picks up something in his mouth that he shouldn't, I just tell him to Drop It. Like Beth said, it's easier to teach a dog to DO something than to NOT do something. "No" and its variants are so vague that, for a soft dog like Ace, they'd make him shut down because he'd be afraid to do anything, period.</p>

<p>On the other hand, when he is doing a behaviour chain that tends to be self-reinforcing (i.e. not remaining in a sit-stay when the elevator door opens, and running to the courtyard door) I stop him in his tracks with a, "Ah-ah, Ace!" and he does an about turn. I need him to stop on a dime because running itself is such a huge reinforcement for Ace.</p> Beth's post really said it al…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-08-28:1150197:Comment:16104022012-08-28T13:03:12.397ZEmily & Scouthttp://mycorgi.com/profile/EmilyMorris
<p>Beth's post really said it all.</p>
<p>For Scout, I usually use a harsh sound, or say "Bad dog" in a low disaproving voice.</p>
<p>To curb her initial problems when I got her (wanting to pick a fight with a dog, chasing animals) she got a time out in the bathroom (a boring small place) and since she HAS to be with me all the time, a couple "groundings" of about 5 minutes did the trick.</p>
