"We brought Buster (our pemb corg of 12 weeks now) home about a month ago. He is wildly independent as well. Likes to sleep and nap away from people and really only comes over when he wants to play tug or fetch :) We were a bit taken…"

Hi Everyone,I have had my 10 week old Pembroke, Henry, for about two weeks now, and I feel like we are having trouble bonding. He doesn't seem to really care if I'm around or not. He is really good…Continue

Nora & DouBao replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"I agree with all everybody said.
I remember I also had the same question when my girl was younger (see, I posted a similar question here, that was when DouBao was 7 months old). I even read the book about bonding with your dogs. And then, suddenly,…"
Jen Conley replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"Thanks everyone for all your help! I feel much more confident that Henry and I will be fine, and that I, in fact, will not go crazy trying to raise him. I'm glad you've all had similar issues. We start training this week! :)"
Ivy replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"Not to worry you will get through it. And by "it" I mean that horrible last year of law school! Some of this could be stress from the last year. You can survive - and a pup that needs regular walks, who forces you to put down the books and…"
Elys replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"It definitely takes time. Corgi's are independent--that's why I love them. Camber was a rescue from a hoarding situation and it took years of getting her to sit next to us on her own steam. She also doesn't like to get picked up, but…"
Julia replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"Whatever the other dog has is MUCH better than your own stuff. That is a basic, no exceptions rule of doghood. Last week I received an order of dog stuff, and there were two identical large squeaky animals in the box instead of one. Identical. Brand…"
Jennifer Markley replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"I think the thing to remember is that corgis are herding dogs. This means they are meant to work independently. They have their own ideas, and will try to follow through with them. This means that although they like to be with you,…"
Jen Conley replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"We are working on the playing. He doesn't love his toys right now because he gets bored pretty easily. He does love other dogs toys though, which is so strange. Some of my friends have older dogs and he LOVES to chew on their…"
"Jen: Now that you have all this advice about cuddling, how about working on the playing thing? Its been a while since I had a puppy, but I remember Snickers wanting to spend all of her time PLAYING. Even now, at 5 years old she is tugging on my…"
Laura Rochette replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"I live in both stages all the time."
Josh & Butters replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"This is a very good point. Butters sometimes comes over and noses me for attention. [Btw, this practice will stop soon...the human chooses when to grant attention...the dog doesn't get to demand it as he pleases.]"
Josh & Butters replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"Ha! You mentioning that he's happier to see other visitors made me laugh. My little traitor WILL willingly cuddle with other people. My dog walker sent me a text photo of Butters cuddling with his wife! "
CorGeek replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"Two weeks after bringing the 5 month Oliver home, I was in tears. I was afraid we'd never bond. He slept all the time. I don't know exactly when that changed, but even though he's way more excited when other people come to…"
Ciara & Macy (Honorary Corgi) replied to Jen Conley's discussion Corgi Bonding"Sometimes you don't want a dog that is OVERLY affectionate either. It can be quite the pain when all they want you to do is pet them and pay attention to them. I have a lab who always needs to be pet or paid attention too and she has been like…"
