"Hello! OMG our 2 year old male D'Arby did not tolerate that Bil-Jac hamster food looking stuff! when I used it only in his pyramid toy in small amounts. We recently switched his regular food from California Natural due to a recall, to the Fromm…"

Ellen Cilley replied to Amy Christensen's discussion I am almost ready to give up on my corgi puppy as much as that pains me!

"If I may interject, don't use the single term "NO" when he bites. This dog is SMART. Make it a two word command and say "NO BITING." Then put him in a confined area. A short command like "NO" is not translatable…"

"We had a corgi who passed away at 16 then got our current 2 year old male D'Arby the following October. I forgot how much work puppies can be in those 16 years! I found myself thinking Raider never did that, Raider was easier to house train,…"

Ellen Cilley replied to Samantha Moore's discussion Licking

"Ah yes, the corgi Lick! If your dog is otherwise happy and healthy, this may just be how he is. But excessive licking can signal nausea in some cases and licking floors carpets etc. can lead to ingestion of dust, fur or yucky chemicals. Licking can…"

Ellen Cilley replied to Neilie Johnson's discussion Uncharacteristic behavior - hoping other corgi parents can weigh in

Ellen Cilley replied to Neilie Johnson's discussion Uncharacteristic behavior - hoping other corgi parents can weigh in

"Milo does not like this dog walker and/or assistant. For some reason, they are making him feel stressed and are not properly controlling situations. I have had three corgis and in my opinion this breed is a WONDERFUL judge of character, no offense…"
