"Loki doesn't snuggle, but he does like to lay down on my feet when he's sleepy. It's good enough for me! Corgis are social butterflies, they'd much rather play than do any of that resting business! Don't take it…"

About 6 weeks ago, when Loki was 14 weeks, he bit me very hard (enough to draw blood and cause a permanent scar on my knuckle) when I took a bone away from him. He showed no other signs of…Continue

Puppy tries to eat EVERYTHING on his walks!

My 14 week-old pup, Loki, tries to eat lots of different things on his walks. This morning, he ate a piece of bark and swallowed it before I could remove it from his mouth. In addition to the mulch,…Continue

Tracy Marie replied to Marcie's discussion Things better than poo"Oh man, I have EXACTLY the same problem. What I've been doing is the same as you, except I don't take him on a full fledged walk (until after training). So I go outside, find some poop (usually in my own front yard, thanks neighbors!), and…"
Donald Till replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"Congrats on the good luck so far.
I'm going to add my 2 cents with no claim that it's even worth 2 cents.
1.) We used to have a dog that would bite us. We did everything we could throughout this dogs life to modify his behavior but…"

I commend you also for facing up to your problems and recognizing you need help. Instead of…"
Donald Till replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"I'm going to add my 2 cents worth and it's probably not worth 2 cents.
In my experience it's a very bad thing when a dog bites people even if they are talking his food away. I'm sorry to say this - we used to have a dog…"
Beth replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"I am very happy to hear Loki is doing better! And your most recent post is a perfect example of why online advice is helpful, but does not take the place of real-life help for more serious problems.
We had no way of knowing you had been taking…"
Anne replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"I am so happy that Loki is doing better and that you are happy with the progress he is making! Good for you. "
Tracy Marie replied to Lilo Bandit & Koda's mom Shannon's discussion So what's the funniest habit your corgi has?"Ever since I taught Loki to "play dead," he now does it ALL the time because it never fails to make me laugh. He knows that laughing mom = mom more inclined to give out treats! He'll be running around one moment, and then he will just…"
Tracy Marie replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"Hi everybody!
I'm happy to report that Loki is doing SO, SO, SO much better! We got the advice of a trainer and have been working with him on his aggression. He no longer gulps down his food (still will around strangers, but we're…"

Jamie Bashford replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"Corgi's in general are a tuff nuts, but so worth it. In my opinion - they are so loyal, playful and strong willed. It takes patience and time. I just told my husband this - we brought Remington home 4 weeks ago, I just now feel like he…"
Beth replied to Tracy Marie's discussion Food aggression ... so upset, please help/share"Yep! Jack was an incredibly mouthy, nippy puppy. And when he got tired, he would not put himself to sleep unless he was in his pen or crate and he got CRANKY and wild.
I walked in the living room one day to see my husband…"

- Loki is a smart cookie, but only when cookies are involved! I guess you are what you eat. Naming your dog after a shapeshifting trickster god seems especially appropriate for a corgi.

Karla Roeseler said… Hi Tracy -
Lokie is a pretty handsome little fellow and we, like you, are overwelmed at times. We should certainly get together for a bit of puppy playtime and puppy talk. We'd be happy to share with you what we've learned from our trainer. Everything works but the pups backslide because they're pups. Sometimes, because Corgis are so darn smart, we forget that they're really just babies.
Do you have any puppy playtime on Sunday, January 13th?
