We got a rescue vs breeder which we got our last corgi from. He's a quick learner, has great house manners and doesn't nip or bite and hardly barks, we've been very lucky
Thank you for your videos! and all the work you put into Gandalf! We have a ten week old puppy Topaz. We have been following a lot of your advice along with guided online puppy training. We have been having success so far, and thankful to be setting her up for success.
That’s amazing! So happy to hear the initial success! Keep up the good work and you’ll have a lifetime of joy with your amazing dog! Feel free to message if you have any questions along the way. We’re happy to assist!
my 10 week old Corgi pup is already starting that as well with the leash as we run home across the yard like she wants to walk herself home. It is so cute so we too are letting her do it.
It's tougher at two, but corgis are smart! Even feisty ones can learn if you can put in the time, the consistency and refuse to relent when the corgi tells you otherwise. It takes a while to change their little minds!
I am struggling with my 15 wks old corgi who loves to nip at my 15 year old son when he tries to interact with her. He tried redirecting with toys, yelp like a puppy, telling her no biting and turning away with arms cross but nothing seems to work. Will this continue on as she gets older or will this stop? 😢
Hi there! Thanks for your question. I’m assuming if your son specifically is the one getting bitten, your puppy is in an excited state due to either the way your son is playing with her or she has a natural excitement when interacting with him. Either way, try to have him do some training exercises to build impulse control for her. Look at part 2 in our corgi training series for examples of that exercise. If she is too aroused, you can start off and have him jump in once she’s in a calmer state. As I said in this video, your puppy will bite less as they get older. Continue to stay consistent and it’ll be an afterthought in the future. 15 weeks is still young and adolescence will kick in where there may be a little regression. Communicate as a family to have consistent rules and expectations and your puppy will mature into a model citizen over time. Good luck and let me know if you have any follow up questions!
That's the dumbest thing. Corgi's are a herding breed. They nip instinctually because that's how they drive the cattle they herd. It's not about anything else. Poor Gandal
Yes, I agree it’s part of their herding instinct. I mention that frequently in my other videos about corgis and eluded to it here. Puppy biting occurs in non herding breeds as well so it’s not specifically emphasized in this video. Additionally, corgis are now very common pets as the number 11 most popular breeds in the US and many of them do not have the outlet to satisfy their natural herding drive. The purpose of this video is to help them adapt to the home and ensure that their nipping instincts are not acted upon you as an owner and children within the household. The strategies here help guide the puppy showing proper manners which they will carry on with them into adulthood. Yes, nipping is instinctual but not every corgi will have the pleasure of living on a farm herding sheep and cattle. Even if they had the herding outlet, they may still nip you as a human, that is still unacceptable behavior.

Ya. How can you not. It’s adorable. 😂
How cute! Gandalf is perfect!
Great video! We are at this stage with our 13 week old corgi, Sammy. :)
Thanks for the feedback! Hope these videos help with Sammy!
Such good advice! Wish I had been able to watch this before we got our extra feisty corgi 2 years ago, ha ha!

Never too late for training. Gandalf is turning 9 next month and still learning new things!
Agree! 👍
I’d love to see how you trained him to crawl!
Here’s a super early video we made on the topic. How to Teach Your Corgi to Crawl
