My newly adopted F Pemmy has proven her independence. When I ask here to "come in" she casually ignores me. So I go inside, wait a second and look at the door.......there she IS!! Coming in or going out has to be HER decision not mine. It is only a matter of a few seconds, a minute at most but Winnie proves that she is the boss, not me.

I'm sorry if I gave the impression that she would NOT come....it's only when I make a casual remark in a normal tone of voice ("you want to come inside?") that Winnie waits for "her turn". When she is needed immediately I raise the pitch of my voice ("WINNIE---COME!!"...good girl etc) I reward immediately with a treat so she's pretty well adjusted to come when REALLY needed. I just think it's amusing that Corgis have such a separate agenda and, frankly, I don't blame them!! Thanks for your good ideas and happy Corgi-ing!
99 percent of the time, Scout will come back inside when called with no hassle. BUT she knows when I am about to go somewhere. If I take her out right before I leave, then open the door to let her in, she will just plop down in the middle of the yard and refuse to go in. She somehow knows that if she goes in at that point in time, she will be left alone, and she doesn't like that idea. She's luckily not bad about mornings before work, b/c I think she knows I am usually in a hurry, but any other time she's like that. I've actually had to go over and carry her in a couple times. Luckily she's small enough so it is still cute :)
Its a girl thing! My now angel Emma was that way and my rescued Katie is too...her son Jack isn't! And if that isn't proof its a girl thing, my princess mare, Penny, does things on her own time too! She always cracks me up getting on the trailer, if I try and walk her on, she will stop, but if I wait a minute and let HER decide, no problems!
