New Corgi Owner... advice welcomed and appreciated!

Posted on September 26, 2008 at 10:41pm 6 Comments

I am a brand new corgi owner, well I will be in a week and a half when I can take my baby Franklin home. I have been doing research for about 6 months now, bought books and printed off about 200 pages of internet training tips. Alot of them contradict one another; one example is that some say use potty pads, some say do not because it encourages going in the house.



I am wondering if anybody could please give me some real tips that helped you in potty training, obedience training,… Continue

Hey everybody! I just called a few places to see who we could do a meet up with and I was only able to find one pet resort that would let us. It is in Castleton, IN. We would basically rent out an area for a couple of hours and let them run. I will get more details on everything tomorrow. The manager has to call me back for pricing and times and such. I was thinking 1-3 on a sat or sun? It would probably be around a month from now. Please let me know if you are interested and what would be best for you. I will do my best to get the most popular day and time.

I would try to get them to go outside as soon as possible. That is your ultimate goal, not the potty pad. I never owned a puppy, so I am can't give you puppy tips, but Corgi's seem eager to learn...

Hi I saw you were from Indiana. I grew up in Indiana and even lived in Caramel for a summer. My family is still over that way, I am now in Illinois. Hope all is going well for Franklin. Isn't potty training fun???? I just got my 6 month old corgi to the point where i completely trusted him not to potty inside.... and then I went and got another puppy!!! CRAZY! The joy of getting up several times during the night, all the cleaning, etc. :O)

What helped us potty train, was anytime he tinkled in the house we put a newpaper over it and let it soak up the smell and sat him near it and said no we go outside..well eventually he peed on the newspapers and then we moved the papers close to the door. Pretty soon when he walked towards the door we ran and opened it and let him out and that was how we did it. So hopefully that can help you a bit. To teach tricks all I can say is don't give up and keep trying they are smart dogs!

Hi Franklin's Mommy! i haven't been on the site lately, busy with the Marching Band. My daughter is a sophmore flute. When did you graduate? We will be around Thanksgiving. Let me know when you are back in town, we'd love to meet Franklin!

Thank so much. I had a dream Riley was running in the clouds and I was up there holding my hands out to him and he jumped in my arms and kissed me. It was beautiful but it doesnt stop the pain..I'm sure with time I will heal.
