Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Alison Prasavath Jul 26, 2012. 43 Replies 0 Likes
I'm curious what the exercise regime for your corgi(s) is on the average day? Leash walking? Off-leash walking? Fetch? Laser? Tug? Playmates? Has it changed as they've aged? How do they act if you…Continue
Submissive Behaviour - Suggestions?

Casey is a 15 month old Cardi who is very friendly and outgoing, but displays extremely submissive behaviours when greeting other dogs. It's sort of a weird combination: she absolutely loves to play…Continue
Doesn't Like the Basement

I'm looking for some advice on a basement problem we have. We live in a two-story house with a finished (carpeted) basement. Casey is allowed on the mainfloor and in the basement, but not upstairs.…Continue
How Does Your Dog Greet People At the Door?

Casey basically throws herself at anyone who comes into the house, and then circles around and around their feet while licking their feet/legs/shoes/whatever she can get. She's a shameless attention…Continue

Jenny, Tucker, & Zoey replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"I'm trying to be better about making time for structured exercise, but as a full-time student with a full-time job, it's tough.

Melvin Brock replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"My two have set times for play and to rest. when a bug has gass, they run outside and bark. If we are outside so are they and chase and pounce are in order. If we are inside sitting down they are in our laps asleep. !0:30 pm is all…"
Larry Darling replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"Sophie goes on 2 hikes every weekend which usually combine to be about 5 miles. She attends doggie day care 2-3 times a week. (the place that is right by us offers it for 13 dollars a day) I still try to take her on walks those days but she often…"
Josh & Butters replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"As always, Sam, very nice insight and good food for thought.
Butters goes to daycare 3 times a week - sometimes 4 times and sometimes he stays overnight. He comes home and collapses. On those days, we don't do anything else because…"
Maddie, Sam, and Ruby replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"Sam gets a walk almost everyday, 30-40 minutes unless it`s raining, or I`m sick. And he also gets outside time pretty much when ever he wants it, and fetch pretty much when ever he wants. We play A LOT of fetch. "
mike & buddy replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"We excercise Buddy for selfish reasons, so we can have peace in the house. He walked/ran 2-4 miles a day off leash the first 3 years.Anything less meant interrupted sleep for us. He has slowed down at age 5, esp with summer heat. Today he…"
Stephanie Dangerfield replied to Carla's discussion Be Honest: How Much Exercise Does Your Corgi Get?"Foxy wakes me up around 6 am now and I walk him out of our less than safe neighborhood and into the adjacent neighborhood. We make a lap that takes up to 25 minutes. We come back and I sleep until ten or so, get up and do my chores. After those are…"

Carla posted a blog postDiscussion Updates
I've started a number of discussion, asking a number of questions over the last year or so that I've been on MyCorgi. I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who offered me advice or suggestions, and provide a bit of an update on some of our progress. 1) "Puppy Running in Front/Cutting Me Off" - She steers clear of my feet since I took everyone's advice and starting kicking her if she got in my way. Now she hustles out of my way if she sees me coming, lol. She still gets a boot every now…See More
Donald Till replied to Carla's discussion Submissive Behaviour - Suggestions?"I'm careful about taking my corgi's to a dog park. My dogs are not submissive. They run up to other dogs barking and sometimes nipping. They try to control other dogs - doesn't matter how big the other dog…"
Julia replied to Carla's discussion Submissive Behaviour - Suggestions?"I think she's showing these dogs who she is. A wise move. My Lilliput is a fairly dominant dog, and greets dogs well. She corrects rude dogs and puppies. But sometimes she reads something in a dog that makes her either lower herself as she…"

- About My Corgi(s):
- Casey, AKA "Fat Bean" or "Bean-o" was born July, 2009. She has two primary objectives in life: (1) Eating; (2) Playing. Everything else is just filler, time spent waiting around for food or play.
She is simultaneously submissive and outgoing, a combination I didn't know was possible until I met her. She runs up to every dog or person she meets to greet them and see if they'll play, but if they give her any guff what-so-ever, she immediately submits. All is forgiven in less than 3 seconds and she's back up and trying to play again. She’s a lover, not a fighter.
She loves everyone and will play with any person or dog willing to give her the time of day. I’ve never seen her meet a dog she didn’t like (although I’ve seen her meet many dogs who didn’t like her). She makes her own fun by running in furious circles around any dog who ignores her, and despite having to “greet” everyone she meets, she’ll never stop somewhere for long enough to get petted before moving on to greet the next person or see the next dog. She is the happiest, friendliest dog anyone could ask for.

Overnight low of -31 Celsius/-24 Fahrenheit (without the windchill!)?!?!?! Tomorrows daytime HIGH is -18 (-1 Fahrenheit). What kind of high is that?
This is some January/February weather, sure, but not November. I guess mother nature decided that because we had such a crappy summer, she needed to kick-start winter into high…

Well, we held out as long as we could. Forecast for the upcoming week is snow and lows of -10 Celsius (that's about 14 Fahrenheit) with overnight lows of -20 (-4 Fahrenheit) with the wind chill. Winter’s a-coming.
My fall jackets got moved to the basement this weekend, and my snowpants came out of the closet.…
