We start bailie in a training class in a week and a half. She is a generally good dog but she has trouble listening and obeying sometimes and though we have been working with her and really putting in effort, i know we need help. I was just wondering if anyone had any success stories as far as behavioral turn around after obedience training. Thanks!

This is a cute post on 9gag. Not corgi related, but definitely so true! Wish more people would understand a dog's body language. They try so hard to tell us things and most people just ignore them cuz they can't understand.

As he is 11~ months old now, I decided to take Ace in for his snip. I would have waited until the full twelve, but money is decent for the first time in ages now so it was best to get it done when I could afford it. The total ended up being 340€, gack! Ace is/was a cryptorchid, so they really had to do some digging around to find that atrophied second testicle.

My only regret is the magnificent belly fur that took so long to grow... is now gone. Ace had sparsely furred…

Does anyone does corgi seem to have a sensitive stomach? Bailie gets gas easily....

We are having problems with our corgi Winston. Today is a good example. We are on vacation in the Georgia mountains. we went on a long trail walk this morning. as you know, Winston lives for this kind of stuff. When we get back to the car, we cannot get him to come to us to put on his leash. this is typical. he goes mental on us and ran off. it took us 45 minute to secure him and get him leashed. He is 14 months old. We got him at 5 months. he is the runt of the litter.He has always been…

I don't know if its a corgi thing or what but Bailie is't mean but she's not exactly the sweetest thing. She gives love nip but has been getting better about being gentle and giving kisses. The main problems are that she sometimes throws a fit about being held and biting too hard when playing. I'm just asking to see if anyone's got any advice that we can add on to what we're already doing to stop it. Thanks so much!

I don't even know how to describe how empty I feel. I came home from work to find my baby Murphy (4 years old.. just described in a forum as my heart baby) had suffocated in an empty bag of Doritos.. his favorite snack. A careless item left out while we were gone.



It's been about 4 hours.. and the shock and disbelief are blocking the way of grieving. How could this HAPPEN? We just moved to our new house in December and hadn't gotten a chance to formally introduce ourselves to the… Continue

I had not even been trying to get Waffle a CGC because we'd never been in an obedience class and I was adamant that we would fail--and was I wrong or what!  Our CGC performance was FLAWLESS.  The trainer giving our test—who has been training dogs for 20 years and has taught countless CGC classes and given countless CGC tests—said that Waffle was the best dog she has ever tested for the CGC.  Wow!

Anyway, we took the CGC at the Virginia Tech Pre-Vet Club Annual Pet Show.  We entered in…

Well we finally got our little girl. Made a few hour trip out to get her, and she was wonderful the whole way home. Met her mom and dad and they were healthy, wonderful dogs. The mom was such a sweetie and wanted to be pet by everyone! When we first brought the puppy home, our cat and other dog were very interested in her. We introduced them slowly and let her get situated to her surroundings first. When all the animals met, they got along great. The puppy (who we have decided to name Mila)…

so i've been thinking about names for a while, and ultimately i want something unique that not many people have. lately, i've been throwing around the name Ravioli. this is partly because i love eating ravioli and secondly because i think it's cute. i've gotten about a 50-50 response on who likes it and who doesn't. however, 2 of the most important people in my life, my best friend and boyfriend, don't like it! i know it's ultimately my decision because it is my dog and i can name him…
