Send help—my 11-week-old Corgi puppy has officially entered full land shark mode! 🦈🐾

He’s got "sit" and "down" locked down, but he's getting so much more stubborn and literally just wants to bite everything in sight. We’re doing puzzle toys to keep his brain busy, but it’s tough since he’s not fully cleared for walks yet until his final Parvo shots.

I’ve been strictly following the 1 hour up / 2 hours down schedule to keep him from turning into an overtired monster, but I honestly feel so guilty keeping him in his crate so much. While I’ve raised other breeds, this is my first Corgi puppy, and I'd love to make sure I'm setting him up right for training.

Is there anything to help the nipping? I've tried frozen carrots, frozen rags/towels, leaving the room, keeping him on a leash, saying a firm "NO!"

It does seem like he gets more vocal and nippy when I react with "No!"

How did you guys survive this land shark phase? Any tips or sanity-savers for a tired puppy mama would be so appreciated!

My corgi is 5 and I’ve had him for almost 2 years after rehoming him from a family who knew he needed to be an only dog. He is generally pretty good on walks, and I’ve worked on things to get him refocused on me when he gets interested in other dogs. I bring treats on EVERY walk and pass them out throughout for good behavior and check-ins. BUT no matter what I do if there is food on the ground all training is out the window and the goal becomes to get that street chicken. We live in a city so there’s always gonna be food on the ground. Is there anything that’s been successful for other highly food motivated corgss?

Our Augie is a 35lb Russell Terrier/Corgi mix rescue, basically a RT head and (broken) coat on a mostly Corg-shaped body, but with back legs/paws a bit more RT-like (smaller paws, legs more slender & a bit longer). Recently, he’s been going to town slurping/chewing his beans on all paws. Probably some kind of allergy thing, and he has a vet appointment for testing late next week. In the meantime, though, I’m looking for a way to prevent his obsessive bean chomping.

He still has some anxiety issues related to past abuse, including being very hesitant to put his head into tight spaces. I feel like a standard “cone of shame” would trigger this, so I got a Kong inflatable neck roll thing that’s meant to serve the same purpose from our local pet supply. Unfortunately, the one that fit his neck size (14 inches), isn’t wide enough in coverage to stop him getting to his back feet.

I figured this might be an issue that those with “full Corgs” might have experienced, though I guess it could be b/c of Augie’s longer back legs. Either way, any suggestions would be appreciated!

Our baby is legal now!

Anyone have tips/tricks to clean up white fur around mouth? I’ve tried warm water with and without apple cider vinegar on a microfibre cloth and wipe with dry napkin after. It only removes dirt but doesn’t remove the reddish-brown stain. I try to do it after every meal and the park. Dog tax of my Cardigan Welsh Corgi pupper.

Meet Breadly (BREAD-ly) Cooper. The best Corgi in the world. He is almost 10

I picked him up this past Saturday, and I already love him so much 🥹

Mac wanted compensation for his time and efforts

Does anyone have some insights about having an corgi in apartment? I got Viggo home on sunday ands its been pretty rough(but also very great!)

I need to get up a lot at night for taking him down to pee which is of course understandable. Do anyone know how many months before they start being able to sleep through?

Also, how did you bark train? He gets veet restless at night even after a day full of training and playing. Id love to be able to crate train more, but the barking does that i dont really feel i can do that (only daytimes at least)

I might just be asking for a bit of a timeline and some tips to make sure Viggo and i can find eachother quicker

mood because i’m halfway around the world away missing him so much 😭 stay strong crab (and me) it’s only a week 🦀 🍏 🥡
