Brody goes crazy when I pick up toys to vacuum. He hates the vacuum. It must die.<br />
<br />
Whenever I get ready and do my makeup and hair he immediately finds a toy and tries to play tug because he knows I'll be sitting in one place for a while.<br />
<br />
He also reacts to sneezes but, unlike most corgis, he doesn't get up in your face to see if you're ok, instead, he runs away to his crate lol. I don't know why they scare him.<br />

<br />
If I put on my running shoes he gets excited and knows it's time for a walk or, even better, the PARK!<br />
<br />
If his collar happens to be off and we pick it up, the jingle from his tags means he's going outside! They must remind him of his bells that he rings to go potty.<br />
<br />
When I put on my flip flops and grab my iPad he knows I'm going to go sit outside for awhile and runs to the back door. If I grab my purse he knows I'm leaving and runs to his crate for treat.<br />
<br />
One slightly embarrassing trigger, my fiancé will make fart noises with his mouth and it drives me nuts. So, when Brody hears him doing that he'll run to his bed cause he knows mommy is about to yell.<br />
<br />
If we hug, Brody will intercept. If he tickles me or something, Brody thinks he's attacking me and will regulate.<br />
<br />
The worst is if I'm talking baby talk to other dogs and say "good boy/girl" or "aww look at the puppy"... Brody gets very jealous. OR if we are watching other corgi videos on YouTube, Brody goes nutsssss hearing other owners talk to their dogs or hearing dogs bark.<br />

<p>Boo Bear will sing with the daily 6 pm and noon whistles. His voice is low, and sounds like a seal so when he does sing it's hilarious... He continues during the sirens and when done, he looks at us for approval and we clap and laugh.. This seems to satisfy his ego.</p>

<p>When I put food in his bowl, he has to make sure that all the food is even. So he nudges his food with his nose, if he can't get it perfectly even, he takes his nose and shoves some out of the bowl (which he'll eat that right away), then returns to his bowl to even it out some more. Once done, he again looks at us for our approval. "Look what I did mom, isn't it just perfect?" Then he goes about eating his food very carefully not disturb the "evenness" of the morsels.</p>

<p>Whenever my phone starts ringing, Ellie goes nuts. She runs around in circles until I answer it, and if I don't answer it fast enough, she'll start barking at me. Very difficult to start a conversation with a barking Corgi in the background. I think she does it because it's also my alarm clock, and when it wakes her up in the morning she knows she's getting cuddles and then a walk.</p>

<p>Also, pant legs. Whenever Ellie hears me getting dressed, she zooms into the room and has to sniff the pant legs until she's content. If I don't give her enough time to sniff, she'll step on the fabric and hold it in place until she's done sniffing.</p> I forgot to say that Asta, ou…tag:mycorgi.com,2013-05-22:1150197:Comment:17548632013-05-22T22:08:18.055ZChris Payerlhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/ChrisandSophie
<p>I forgot to say that Asta, our first corgi, would FRAP and do figure eights around the dining room table, then around the kitchen, if anyone said a nickname that one of my students gave her, "Walter Pup-a-lumpus." She'd just go absolutely nuts. If she was getting antsy about something or too nosy about what we were doing, we'd be able say it to have her burn off steam with a good FRAP.</p>

<p>Sophie gets riled up when hubby turns off the TV at night before her last nighttime meal and then potty trip; apparently she thinks we won't remember to feed her. She also goes nuts in the morning about 10 minutes before we leave for work because she gets a Kong full of treats when we leave. If we are running late she lets us know it's time to leave (which is handy) but if we don't have to go in quite as early, she still barks like mad (not so handy).

<p>Love the check tear causing such a reaction! LOL</p>
<p>My three don't have too many triggers... but the one that is most annoying (okay, it's kinda funny SOMETIMES) is that any time a doorbell rings on a TV show, all 3 start running madly to the front door barking like crazy... even if it IS 1:00 AM and I'm watching TV snuggled up in bed!! Mind you, they don't go as crazy when my *ACTUAL* doorbell rings, go figure! Sidenote: the reruns of 'Roseanne' seem to have at least 3 doorbell rings…</p>

<p>I have several leashes and often have them laying in a chair or somewhere they don't belong. When I decide to hang a stray one back up in the closet, all three run to the front door jumping like crazy and hope that we are going somewhere!</p>
<p>The last trigger would have to be the refrigerator door. They are convinced that I MUST be getting something for them!</p>

<p>Blue can hear the cheese grater being used, even when he's on the other side of the house. He always comes running, hoping for a morsel of cheese. He also barks whenever he hears a rooster crow. I'm not sure why... there are no roosters near us, nor were there roosters near his breeder. For some strange reason, that "Cock-a-doodle-doo" noise gets him all fired up!</p>
