Alan, if you are in the Gig Harbor area, Bandix park is very big with lots of trails; there is a big common area where the dogs play and can socialize, but once you hit the trails, you rarely run into anyone else unless the park is very busy, so it's great if they need a "time out" for a bit. Howe Park is in Port Orchard, and that one also has a few small trails, but there tends to be more bigger dogs especially on the weekend and many of the dogs are not well trained that visit - we've left that one on more than one occassion due to other dog's bad behaviors.

 Both Bremerton and Poulsbo have dog parks, but they are very small compared o the other two. Poulsbo is often empty though, at least when we visit. And if you are on the other side of the Tacoma Bridge, the Steliacoom dog park is just wonderful. There is a smaller dog area plus a second big area and I have found that 99.9% of the dogs that visit are very well behaved at that one. (It's our favorite for socializing)

Good Morning Alan,I also have a shy Corgi and I found the dog park to be too much for him.  I never knew what type of dog(s) would be there and with all of them off leash, the more assertive dogs would overpower, and frighten my guy.  I found that dog training classes were much more effective.  He took Canine Good Citizen, Basic Obedience, Rally, a couple of Agility classes, and Tracking.  I also take him into a dog-friendly business once a week (with lots of treats for reinforcement of confident behaviors) and walk all three of my dogs in a public park  once a week as well.  After two years, he's friendly with most people and dogs and now only quietly growls and turns away in uncomfortable situations.  Good luck, all the time and effort you devote to your dog-buddy will be worth it!

Hi, we recently moved to the Kitsap Penisula.  Are there any good dog parks / Corgie groups in the area?  I'd like to continue working on Malibou's social skills, as she is a little timid (but well behaved). - Alan -

Welcome Yiki! What part of the state are you and Leo in?

Hello fellow Washington residents. My Leo and I are very pleased to be apart of mycorgi.com and now apart of the Washington State Group. I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully meet up with some of you soon.

I've started washing her eye out with a saline solution eye wash (sensitive eye kind) 4x daily and a half benadryl 2x daily on recommendation. Her eye seems to be clearing right up! If it doesn't clear up fully by wed I will check on those drops you're talking about. Thanks Everyone!

Hi Devin I agree with Carole. I would have my Vet take a look. I've seen where a goopy eye can become quite a problem. Better safe than sorry! Good luck and keep us posted!
