I've had 3 sessions with the trainer. The good news is that the Tig IS 'getting it'. He is quickly learning about healthy interest in other dogs vs. "Im gonna eatchoo!". But before I get into the details- I wanna send a shout out to my sister who's been driving about 30 minutes out of her way to help me during the training sessions as well as taking time out of her weekends and subjecting her kind dog to help me practice. And to Kim and her huggie bear corgi, Toby for helping us… Continue

When the gruesome twosome think that they have to protect their imaginary bones, the pantry door, the dirty plate or the gum in my purse- they will start growling, showing teeth or even fighting. That has got to stop! So when it starts I give a loud "Ah-AH!" a mean posture and dirty look and let them think hell is raining down on them for 3 seconds and I put each of them in seperate corners (the sin bin) for a few minutes.

Tigger got the all clear for normal activity levels on Friday--- so that means HELLO, TRAINER!

I don't really think my corgi's are into FRAPing. It definately isn't random- it usually involves food or going for a walk. But they do practice FRABing- Frantic Random Acts of Barking. If one is on the bed, the chair or the sofa and the other wants up- FRAB! If I am taking too long to get their food bowls ready- FRAB! If the scritches feel really good- FRAB! If the leashes are out but they aren't outside- FRAB! If I am just sitting there and I am not paying attention- FRAB! If the evil… Continue

The best/worst toy ever!

Found this at tractor supply yesterday, at about noon. a 12inch chicken that fits perfectly in a corgi mouth. Hard plastic and if you squeezed him- he squawked. I knew it was the perfect toy for the gruesome twosome. I got it home and it was love at first sight. Tigger wanted to do mad runs with it in his mouth. Molly wanted to kill it. They played with it for about an hour and then we put it away as there were other things… Continue
