"It's only natural lol. When we first put the collar on Napolean he was literally screaming, whining, and went pouting about in our home until we took it off. At the time we didn't know anything about this since he's our first dog, but…"

Ludi replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"Aw, that's awesome. :-) That's amazing that he brought it over to you! What a smart little guy.
Best of luck with the other issues. I suggest you take a look at the FAQ linked at the top of this site to check what you may be doing…"
Mak and Jacqui Koepsell replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"Thank you for all the suggestions! This morning I finally had success! I've been letting him sniff his collar for a few minutes prior to putting it on, and rewarding him with treats each time he allows me. Every time I put it on, I pick him up…"
Sebastian replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"I would let him play with his collar to get more comfortable with it....my dog who is now 14 weeks didn't like it either initially. He would always scratch at it or try to bite (which was funny to watch)....just stick with it...they'll get…"
Mai replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"Oh yeah...I had the same problem with Chuckie when I got him at 10 weeks. The breeders didn't put anything around the puppies' necks so, when I got Chuckie I had to collar train him.
It was quite easy with Chuckie…"
Karyne & Dr. Sheldon Cooper replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"Hello ! I had the same problem when we first got Sheldon. He would go crazy when we tried to put is collar on. We had to handle him at first , make him smell and understand what was the collar for. He eventually understood that the collar…"
"It sounds like you are doing a good job conditioning him to accept the collar. Everyone has a different opinion about collars. My parents had dogs before they had me, over 50 years ago; I've had 2 or 3 dogs at at time all my life. They have all…"
Anna Morelli replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"I don't use collars with plastic snap buckles because I worry that, if the buckle gives for any reason, I could loose the dog. I only use the old fashioned kind collars with metal on one side and holes on the other end, or martingale…"
Cindi replied to Mak and Jacqui Koepsell's discussion Puppy FREAKS OUT when putting his collar on? HELP!"Very good suggestions. You could also try raising the value of the treat he gets when the collar comes out. First, get a collar big enough to just slip over his head. (No, you're not going to walk him on it, just get him used to…"

- About Me:
- Hi! My name is Mak, my fiance's name is Jacqui, and we recently (7/29/2012) adopted a corgi, who we named Bowser aka "Mr. B"! As of now, he's about 10 weeks old. We love him to death, and he's doing really well so far! We also have 3 cats, so it's a pretty full house.
We found this website via google searching for training tips for Bowser, and really liked how informative and helpful everyone seems to be! I know we will definitely be in need of some advice/tips in the near future and this seems like the perfect place to get it!
We want the best for him, and want nothing more for him to be as happy, and get the most fulfillment out of life as possible!

- About My Corgi(s):
- Bowser ("Mr. B"), is one handsome guy with a big personality. Smart, he catches on to things very quickly, and probably uses that to his advantage when doing things he probably shouldn't be doing!
He's a huge goof, always making us laugh, and loves all sorts of people. He's a cuddler, and has formed a bond with us rather quickly for only having him for less than 2 weeks. I can't wait to see how strong of a bond we have with him in the next year! Bowser loves herding the cats, sometimes we get a little rough, but we're working on that.
Over all, we're very happy with him and couldn't have asked for a better little guy.
