I am really glad I found this thread, I thought I was doing something way wrong with Emlyn. Come to find out she is just being a typical Corgi.

Jack used to want to meet everyone he saw when he was a puppy and adolescent, too. Gradually he learned that not everyone will pay attention to him, and mostly he ignores people unless they speak to him. Then he is all wiggles and kisses.

Grissom does great on a leash, but even better off leash.<br />
He knows his commands. He is incredible at recall. (my Beagle never did master this one, despite my efforts)<br />
EXCEPT... (and it was mentioned before, there's always an except or but with Corgis. lol) if we aren't on the move, or we're in a crowd, he always wants to run up to everyone and sit at their feet. That's what he does when he wants attention since he's not alowed to jump.<br />

Large crowds are a constant series of him sitting, staring at the mystery person, and me calling him only fo him to make an attempt with the next person. Rinse. lather. repeat.

Jack used to grab the leash in his mouth all the time as a puppy, and it took forever to break him of it. Bitter apple didn't work, stern "no's" didn't work, positive reinforcement didn't work. When I was nearly exasperated he finally started giving it up. Now he will sometimes grab the leash and play-growl and shake his head if he's already tried the roll-on-the-back mutinee and I've gotten him up and walking. Yesterday's excuse was two people were picnicking on a blanket, and I didn't stop so…

Bertie jumped in a river where the water was over his head when he was a puppy and did a total barrell roll, and since then, he will only wade when he can see the bottom. UNLESS a picnic is happening across the way, of course. He once swam all the way across the Mill River because some people were cooking hot dogs on the other side -- he politely requested one, they gave it to him, he chowed down -- and then he swam back! Anything for food.<br />

Susan, Thanks, I had not read that blog either! I also have the corgi in a hurry and the one who likes to meander along so I frequently look like I am trying to lengthen my arms with dogs! It is funny about the hands in the pockets too. One of the trainers we went to likes to challenge the "stay" by walking bye with her hand out like she has something. No matter how good Sparty got (and he was really good) he always broke to see what she had. Fortunately she was very familiar with corgis and we…

Just read your blog. Brilliant! That is just what I'm talking about! LOL<br />

Jack frequently gets the "Aw, look, he's tired" comment from passersby when he does the Corgi Flop. There is a food stand in a nearby park we frequent, and you should see me trying to haul him past that in the summer. Mix in a few kids and a picnic table, and it's all-out war.

I love this aspect of the Corgi! When we lived in Manhattan, Bertie knew where all the dog food stores are (and all the stores that dispensed cookies, as well). He would do the sit/lie down on the corner, if I didn't turn down the right street. I won't go on and on -- but it was also my first "blog" on this site, describing this phenomenon: <a href="http://mycorgi.com/profiles/blogs/dispatches-from-the-low-end-of" target="_blank">How to Walk Your Person</a>
