I bet you’re in amazement seeing how much his coloring has changed. I look back at Alwyn’s color transformations over the months and still can’t believe he’s still the same pup. Sad to hear that his puppy fur is gone, the little guy is growing up. I make sure Alwyn’s fur is as soft and healthy as possible. I’ll often use the Furminator on him and that itself makes his fur shine. However, I’ll always furminate him before I give him a bath every couple of weeks and boy is his fur soft and fluffy! We don’t have any dogs parks that are near us. We did take him to a few on our massive road trip this summer. It’s very rare for us to see other corgis around. I saw one at Petsmart the other week but Alwyn wasn’t with me. He’s seen I’d say about other corgis in his young life so far, most were not close to where we live. He saw a Cardigan this summer and nearly freaked out, he didn’t know what to do so he hid underneath our legs, lol. Ahhh, so Toby is introducing you both to his bark, huh? Welcome to the life of owning a wonderful corgi. They’re naturally pretty vocal which can sometimes be a real nuisance. Alwyn barks...A LOT. We’ve tried everything to calm down his barking but I think he’ll get better as he grows older. We just try to constantly correct him by saying “Alwyn, no!” or “NO BARK”. He’ll talk back to us by giving a lower bark, lol. You could try squirting him with a water bottle, taking a can and putting a few coins in there and shake it when he barks, verbally correct him, ignore him or walk away, I’m sure I could go on. Good luck though!

Hello Toby! My goodness, don’t worry about your absence from the site. I just figured I’d check in to see how you and Toby are doing. =) I can’t believe that he’s already 4 months old! You definitely need to post new photos of him, I’m anxious to see!! Has his coloring changed yet? What a smarty pants that he knows a few tricks and especially only when there’s food involved, ha ha. I’ve never enrolled Alwyn in puppy training classes as I’ve done all of his training myself. He’s super strong headed so it’s a challenge, even now at 10 and 1/2 months. He’s never been food motivated, except for Merrick sausages and rawhide “Oinkies” which he’ll go nuts over and just won’t listen because he’s so excited. He’s only been toy motivated. It’s funny in a sense because he’ll let you know what he wants and doesn’t want to do. He hates to have his paws touched (since he was a young pup) so he’s never been able to do “shake”. He hates, and I mean HATES to “roll over”. He’ll even bark and side eye us when we ask him to do so as if he’s telling us “No Mom and Dad, I won’t do it! You can’t make me!”. We can sit there for fifteen minutes before he’ll roll over and argue with us, lol. I’m sure Toby will do fantastic in his classes, he seems like such a smart little guy. So you say he’s starting to bark more....lol just wait - it gets worse! =)

Hello friend! Haven't heard from you lately so wanted to stop by and say "hello". I bet Toby's growing fast, you definitely need to post new photos of your little man! Talk to you soon!! ^,,^
