Ein is 3 years old. He's playful and so energetic! Loves to go for walks, doing tricks for treats and loving on everything & anything living... or recently living, haha. Ein's a happy bundle of loving force to be reckoned with!
Hi daniel, yes, we raised them since they were puppies :) i think this thread will be good for you. Keep in mind that your pup will not be fully trained until 9 months, that is still faster than a human baby, so be patient and consistent, you'll get there :)
Spencer has his moments too though.....he LOVES my husband and I think in some ways he is more attached to him...it helps that Dave is the one that feeds him! He thinks of Dave as his "littermate" and I am the big meany...i take him to obedience classes, etc. I think too, that although Corgis share similiar characteristics, their temperments can really vary a lot! Ein is such a cutie, its probably just a puppy phase.
Hi! Your stories brought flashbacks for me. Emily was quite a handful as a baby the biting was crazy out of control. I found out that the breeders children would put on oven mitts and play very rough with the puppies, so when I got her, that was her favorite game. She still loves it, but I had to put her on her back several times and make her be submissive as she tried to dominate me several times. OK, about 100 times... I find that she is high energy, but if I walk her and play with her, she is better and better. It also helps that we have another dog and they play and play and play. So, I am not her only source of entertainment thank goodness. I play ball with her and make her run and run. She is then contect to chill after I run her little legs off. I do think she is a lower energy Corgi from some I have heard about.
Hi Daniel! Glad to see one more fellow graphic designer - corgi owner. Your Ein is just the cutest!
I think his hyper-activity is just his personality, and may be, age. When I was picking up a puppy, I opted for a more laid-back one. Me and my husband work full-time, so we knew we would not give him much attention during the day. So, I can only give a little piece of advice (not sure it's gonna work for you)
With Chalie, I walk a lot when I can. We even do some jogging along the townhouses where I live. So, we just jog till he drops :). Like 20-30 minutes or so. He can do that even at his age.
At home, I teach him tricks for some time, and then I give him toys like water bottle with some treats inside (CorgiMama's advice). It entertains him for some time - to get the treats out.
Also, when I see that he is tired and restless (but cannot get to sleep), I just give him a kong with some peanut butter inside, and put him to his crate. And I go to some other room. When I am back in 20 minutes or so, he is usually sleeping. If not, I just open the crate and let him go.
Daniel, by the way, do you watch "Dog Whisperer" with Caesar Milan? (National Geographic Channel). He shows how the owner should become "a leader of the pack" - the dog's leader, and how to fight bad habits. I think, you can find some good advice there.
Good luck!
Hi Daniel and Ein! Well, Bailey is definitely an active dog as well and the only way I can get her to calm down is to go on REALLY long walks haha When we get back she just falls asleep, so that seems to work really well!
Welcome to the Corgi's of Christians group Daniel and Ein!!!!! We have a 6 wk old new puppy. Isn't it fun???? They're in to everything. I just had to pull Chloe out from under the couch because she got stuck under there when she fled in fear of the vacuum. Well, have a Blessed DAY!!!
Thanks, you guys are adorable! Corgis make the best friends, and they are very photogenic! Love what you've done with your place, your graphic design is awesome. :)
Warmly,
Christiane & Teggie
Better late than never. If you are interested in getting some corgi playtime let me know. I work at TJ Rockwell's in E-town, if you are ever in for dinner ask for Paula. We have great food and a huge deck as well. Would be super to meet a fellow cogi fan.
If you stop by on Sunday...my daughter will be working on the deck. You can ask for her. She loves corgi's. Wookie was her 24th birthday present. Her name is Desiree.
I hear you met my daughter, Desiree. I hope you enjoyed your time at Rockwell's. Your server Sarah, is a very good friend of mine.I am glad she was your server. Keep in touch.
Hey Daniel and Ein! We're doing pretty good, trying to stay warm here, it's -7F in Toronto. The dogs are adjusting well to the new environment and they fine in the snow :)
