Boy is that an issue with Bailey. He will not come when he's outside - unless hes tired and pooped and sniffed everything in the vicinity and sees me heading away from him. Everything's too exciting. I need to give him a treat everytime he comes - which is what I do when we are inside. Or at least a pat onm the head to make it random. =P He does quite well inside in terms of listening to me. For some reason once we are outside, it's like he doesn't feel the need to obey anymore. As far as the potty training goes, if he goes in the right palce I praise him so much and give him a treat right afterward. If he goes in the wrong spot, I just ignore it and wipe it up. He'll eventually learn mommy is happy when he goes otuside or on the potty pad inside. We'll see how it goes today when I get home!!!!
yea! puppy class should help, and i can throw in some questions to to the trainer if you have any for them. =P I signed up at the local pet food shop (Petsmart) . You could try there (wherever you buy your toys/treats from, the might have classses too?) I have to take some more pictures and upload those.I can tell he's getting bigger by the minute. The Nipping problem i have is ALWAYS after a long nap/away from mommy. He just has a affinity for pant legs and clothing in general. I should've never given him that hand towel to chew up! He's used to the feeling of fabric between his little sharp teeth now! But yes, we will work on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi nicole! hi baxter! i hope all is going well. i really do relate with the snapping. i think mines has to do more with exercise, either that or teething. im going to ask about it at our puppy class starting next month, if he is still doing it. i can see he's trying to test my limits. other than a few minutes of that, bailey's the sweetest thing ever. i love him so much! oh and an update on hte potty training - I think all of a sudden hes forgotten where to go... ohh the puppy days
ahhh!! what a big boy i have then! lol. which is suprising, since his momma looked pretty small. =) yea its okay! u know what.. Bailey peed in his crate for the first time last night too! =T yeah i had to wash the towel i had in there, but it was party my fault. yea he's been noiser lately too. the first night was bad!!! the second night was great, monday night was ok so was tuesday but yesteday night was not (he peed and tore up the cardboard). =) i wake up an hour earlier than normal for my lil booger now. =P my friends adore him though! i have people at work who dont even know what corgi's are, and i am proud to show them pictures! i have a calendar on the wall at work. =P im taking bailey to get his vet shots at the mobile clinic this weekend, hopefully that goes well. gotta get back to work =X take care! Hope Baxter is nice and quiet and stays dry tonight! I'm so glad I know someone else who has a corgi pup at the same time. =D give him some kisses for us!
yea I agree! Bailey won't come when he's outside, but inside he'll give me that darling look when I call his name. He doesn't always come, unless I have a treat. =P I think I'll just have to spend some more time outside after playing then he'll really have to go and I'll reward him for going outside. =) I tried even brining out a paper towel with his pee on it to get him to go. I'll keep doing it until it happens. Can't wait for that moment!!!!! He was SO energetic this morning, I couldn't keep him still!. I think Bailey's not sleeping much at night. not sure why. =P I hear him trying to tear down the cardboard I put in his big crate as a divider.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think its cause he sleeps a lot during the day. He's too much of a cuddler.. lol.. he pretends he can spring into my lap with one jump.. and he's not quite that tall yet. =P I have to get a scale so I can track his weight. How many pounds is Baxter? The vet told us last Saturday that Bailey was 7lbs 2oz, like a big baby. =)
You are far to young to know about the going-ons in the Playboy Mansion. Have you been watching cable behind your owner's back? The Welsh Pembroke belongs to Kendra Wilkonson and his name is Raskal. I guess besides the Queens' dogs he is the only celebrity corgi. Corgis are not popular with Hollywood because we are such showstoppers.
hah what a sniffer you have there! thats great you mom is your puppy sitter. hahaha my mom doesnt care too much for Bailey.. =*(... but... my friends do! I have them stop by to play with him for a couple hours while I'm at work. =P oooo yes hows the potty training going? for me its a hit and miss. 3 out of the 5 days so far hes pooped and peed on the pad, and 2 ill find random pee puddles when i get home. =T. They're so smart though... and i dont ever know how i will ever teach the command "Down"... he's such a low rider.. LOL! ok take care. Bailey wants to give Baxter a hug and a high five! =P
you must be just as busy as i am with the new addition! i took him out in the backyard today to do his business again and he's so overstimulated he doesn't know what to do with himself. LOL... cant wait for the weekend, its too hard spending hours away from him knowing hes alone!!!!!
she is actually coming from a breeder down in lynchburg. and i can't wait either! as far as i know the breeder is sending me more pictures when her eyes open though, so hopefully that's soon.
thank you! right now i think she looks like a little cow (a cute one), and i'm excited to see how she grows up. where in tennessee is your breeder at? (oh and your baxter is just adorable too!)
hii!!! bii baxter! bailey is home and omg... soooooo busy. well i found some time while he was napping to upload pics and video! enjoy them! cant wait to see yours!!!!
Hello there!. . . .your bundle of joy is so cute I just want to reach out and hug (squeeze) him. . . .my Corgis definitely own me. . .they guide my every move. . .lol. . .yesterday I went and bought them all new toys, etc. and the person at the counter looked at me with a surprise (I won't tell you how much I spent) but this I can say it's ALL worth it. . .they are my life. . . .♥
=D mann… ok ive got 3 more hours! Hah! Darn the time difference! =P A part of me still can't believe I will have a puppy in my arms in less than 24 hours. We've waited long enough =).
