    Nipping is no more than playful excitement. Yes it can be "inconvenient" at times, but as long as you lay down the law, it can be controlled. Corgi's need to know YOU are in charge, not them. If allowed, they will take over in no time. As long as they know the difference between nipping and biting and what's acceptable you should be fine. I broke Riley of his nipping very simply. The first few times he did it and it wasn't "cute" I simply held his mouth closed and gave a stern command "No Biting". After hearing that about 3 or 4 times, and having his mouth held shut (which he does NOT care for), he learned. When he starts to get rough now, I just say "No biting", and we can play Bite Free! My big girl Tally learned the same way. Unfortunately it was to not bite Riley! Now a "Play NIce" command is all she needs. Dog's are alot smarter than they want us to think they are. Good luck and remember the key to training is repetition, and consistency. Jon

    So are you making any progress on Buddy's biting?

    I might have an idea, whenever Buddy nips, you put him somewhere he completely hates, then he eventually stop because he will knoe what will happen if he bites, does this help?
