Need help and advice

Hi fellow corgi owners. I have a 6 yr old pembroke female who is currently running the entire household and has become very territorial with me. I also have 5 cats and at any time they try to get near me she chases and sometimes attacks them so they cannot get near me. She even gets upset when my husband gets near me. I don't know what to do. I don't want her to hurt one of the cats. Any advice? Thank you, Kelly

You have allowed your little "cutie" to take over (very easy with a smart corgi) and really need to help her learn that is not acceptable. You will all be so much happier!

They don't just teach sit, down, etc, but are also a good way to help show your dog that you are the boss. The instructors often have advice to help with behavioral issues as well. Many places offer classes at local colleges or through 4H groups. You could ask your vet if they know of any classes in your area. It might also be beneficial if your husband took her through class too. I have put Frosty through the same class 3 times now. It provides us with bonding time, refreshes his listening skills, provides an opportunity for socialization and has helped with lots of specific issues I have had.
