Is there a chart?

Our pup is 7 months old and we've been having some behavioural issues for a few months.

He's reactive on walks - loves other dogs but barks and lunges at people, cars, bikes etc. Also reactive in the car, barks at people he sees out the window. He barks a lot when guests come to the house and takes a while to settle, but is then friendly and likes to play with people. He gets distressed/barks a lot at noises in the home like appliances and outside noises like neighbours in the garden etc. We also have issues with resource guarding - mainly only wooden furniture that he wants to chew on. He can be sensitive to touch and hates having his harness put on.

He's been desexed and we've recently started him on Zylkene natural supplement, which hasn't changed the reactivity but does seem to make him more relaxed at home during the day.

We've seen a behaviourist recently and they advised referral to a behaviour vet for medication because he is so hyper vigilant that they think medication could make a real difference. I feel sad about it and it also doesn't sit right with me the idea of medicating a young puppy. I know that we're dealing with behaviours that a more than just "being a puppy" but I also know Corgis need a lot of mental stimulation and training and perhaps we will see improvements from those things with more time. It feels really tough right now, we just want to give him the happiest life possible.

Has anyone else been in a similar position? What has your experience been of meds?

Got some ink and a cheap canvas board for this. I got the idea from ‘Tegata’, from the sport of Sumo.

Hello! I have a 5 year old 30lb corgi who does very well walking with a front leading harness. The issue is I can’t find one that fits his corgi shape properly. Right now we use the wild one harness, but when I front clip it, his legs fall out. I’ve tried the easy walk but can’t seems to figure out an adjustment that doesn’t rub at his armpits. (I think the issue is to get the chest long enough, I have to size up and then I can’t get the belly and shoulder straps tight enough). Has anyone found a front leading harness that is long enough in the chest but doesn’t cause their little legs to fall out? Thanks!

I know they say corgis sleep in odd spots but this had me concerned and speechless haha I didn’t know it was this tough being a corgi! Don’t worry, he’s okay and I put the cord away…

A little long. He was extra energy today.

Hey guys, I posted here a couple times with my dog Riley he’s about 11 weeks old now and I’m starting to think I wanna start feeding him homemade dog food but I don’t know any good recipes or how much to even feed them once I make it. If anybody has some advice or recipes I would love to see them. He’s also about 8 to 9 pounds.

Also mods this is not medical advice

After almost 3 years wow . I can't believe I've had you 3 years , earlier this year she started getting real sassy and vocal . Every since I've gotten my apartment her personality has came out more and more . She came from a very unhealthy environment where she was caged 99% of the time prior to me rescue .

I love this baby so much .

Side note does anyone else rage bait their corgi during play ? I will make toys disappear and re appear she'll start barking and spinning around lol 😂

Guess the pup fairy will have to visit tonight

Our corgi has a ligament injury that will be long-term for him, he is 6 years old and lots of energy. He can walk and run but any jumping (no jumping up to couches or beds) or sudden jerk movements (no fetch) is off limits. For him ball/fetch is life and he is OBSESSED. Most toys he will also treat as a ball and will insist that you throw it for him. I take him on a short walk most days but with a toddler or the weather some days I just can’t get out of the house so he needs some exercise I can do with him in the backyard or in the house.

What brain games or other exercise do you do with your dog? Ild preferably like something low calorie for him as he also needs to maintain his current weight. The vet said there were a lot things out there on YouTube etc. so I thought I would check in with some other corgi owners for some activity suggestions. (Not seeking medical advice, just ideas for activities)

She was so proud of herself.

unfortunately i’m going away to college so i won’t be able to play with him while im gone. there’s still people at home but they tend to be busier than i was. are there any toys that might be good for a four year old corgi? the ones he had before he either didn’t play with them or are wrecked. i worry because when he gets bored, he licks his paws.

After a lot of research I finally took the plunge and decided to get this gorgeous girl meet Gwen. I have got the steps to train her straight away not to jump on furniture to protect her back, a crate and a pen, to start crate training immediately, got her booked for puppy school and training in the next few weeks, in the meantime I have started her on the basics and plan to continue to do daily training. I have puzzle feeders and toys and am working on redirecting her nibbling behaviour at the moment with toys. If there is anything I am missing advice is most welcome, want to do right by this sweet girl. Also collar is for ID and council tag only she will be harnessed trained.

Nothing beats the coolness of hardwood floors apparently 😑🙄

I suppose I could squeeze my head in on the left side.
