Willo is best known for being the corgi howling while eating! She is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi living in sunny Phoenix Arizona. She's been howling while eating since she was about 4 months old. We call the noise she makes an "Awoo"

As a dog trainer, this video is 100% spot on. This is such a a great resource video for new pet owners. A lot of times when people find information on the internet, it gives misinformation but you made a great video! You must have had a great trainer, glad to see it.
Don’t feel bad about your mistakes in the past, every pet parent makes mistakes, you are doing great with Willow
Oh my gosh thank you! I am so glad to hear from a trainer that this video is a good resource, thank you so much for your comment.
Also tip for the food aggression, feed her only with your hand. Until she realize that she can’t be Possessive with her food that you’re the only that can give her that food
Yes this is such a good tip! I wanted to talk about this in the video but felt I was rambling on too much haha!
Good idea but nothing ever worked for my dog. She was food aggressive since we first got her and no one has ever taken her food. 11 years old now and still has it. I had my toddlers drop treats into her bowl as she ate to prevent her from biting them. It worked the couple of times they got to her eating before me, but she still growls. She's a beagle though. Not sure I can handle the food aggression again. Might not be getting another dog 😞
I have had 4 corgis and haven’t had food aggression from a bowl but I had one corgi who growled when you took her rawhide bone from her. My solution was no more of those. I always heard that you can put your fingers in the bowls while they eat (as puppies) just to get them comfortable with you being around their food and eating.
Crate training my corgi was a huge blessing. It just gives them a space to call their own where he gets nothing but good things.
watching this vid I can say comfortably that this isn't just specific to corgi puppies but really are good tips for all puppies. Especially for people who never had a puppy before.
My first dog was a very sleepy Yorkshire Terrier who was with me for 17 wonderful years. I learned A LOT by having him. Your first dog is like your first child- you'll always make mistakes that you know to do better with the next one. My corgi puppy benefited from all the experience I had from my yorkshire (including, yes, that it is normal to puke for dogs every now n then. especially that foamy stuff they puke up around once a month to clean their stomach XD (often after eating grass specifically for that very reason))
I am really glad that people share their experiences with their dogs so detailed and freely because it helps new dog parents a lot :)
Thank you so much for your comment!
Agreed
Very good information!! Thank you so much!
Great advice!
I’m picking up my 8 week old corgi tomorrow and I’m so excited and nervous for the training, thank you!
Fabulous video. Thank you. I’m bringing home a puppy corgi this weekend. Your tips were terrific❤️
Go Willo!! ❤ You guys are great love the vid and resources, and hanks a mill!!❤😊
So glad I found this video. Bringing our corgi pup home this weekend.
Learned so much! Thank you!
This is so helpful! I'm about to get a corgi puppy in two weeks time and look forward to seeing more videos like this. Thank you! x
Good video. I've worked with animals for a long time so have a decent amont of puppy experience but this still did a good job of teaching and reinforcing what I already knew. I also like that you owned up to things that were your fault like the food aggression. 👍
I have two Corgis now…everything you said is so helpful and true! Great video. 💙🐾💗 Love to Willo from Bentley and Bella.
Thank You for this video!!!
I can definitely relate to everything you mentioned. It helps to know what to do better in the future when I do get another Corgi puppy.
You are so welcome!
Very informative! Thank you!
These are really great tips, thanks so much for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
Great video! Many thanks!
Amazing and really inciteful video. Practical knowledge. This blows the other corgi videos out of the water
Love your channel ! This was really helpful as always
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this!
Love her ears and howling.
Great advice for any puppy/ dog.Careful with the Dremel.- it gets hot from the friction of the emery sanding attachment against their nail, so keep checking it. So squishy girl your Willow💋
What cute sounds Willo makes! I just adopted an Auggie and haven't heard any barking or howling yet, so that will be fun to discover. Well, until it becomes incessant. 😉 I need to buy a dremel. I'm so tired of using clippers and dealing with those jagged edges, and the quick never really gets very short with clipping.
I am a brand new corgi mom! Day2! Thank you so much for making this! Doing the dremmel today!
Thank you for sharing and being so honest! This is great information to know for someone who is planning on becoming a first time-dog owner! Not even specifically to a Corgi…although I am interested in this breed 😊
This is a wonderful video and super informative!
This is definitely not meant to scare anyone, but to spread awareness. We had a puppy 15 years ago that happened to fall in your category of swallowing a rock after we followed the advice of ignoring it. We had to bring him to have emergency surgery, and unfortunately, he didn't make it. It was extremely heartbeaking and I blamed myself for an extremely long time. I would be someone to argue to never let your puppy chew on rocks, etc. because of what happened to us. Even if it's an extremely rare chance.
Thank you so much for your video ❤️❤️❤️
I have a 4 month old corgi pup - this is a lifesaver!
Yaaaas got to you just in time haha! Good luck!
My corgi is 5 months. I am going to try these nice tips. Thanks
Great video, thank you! We are getting our cardigan corgi puppy girl Lola in just 2 weeks ❤️ Love Willo, she is so cute!
Ahh good luck! That's so exciting. Thank you!
Excellent video!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow this is a really well put together video. its detailed, but not boring. Covers a ton of topics and has great information for any puppy owner really.I’m surprised this doesn’t have millions of views. Awesome job!
Fantastic video. My Corgi has done well as she was crate trained from the beeder as a puppy. I never used a puppy pad as we live in the country, but everything you are saying is so helpful. We crated her when we went out and she felt safe. We love our Corgi so much and would definitely crate her when little, now at 3 she is left in the house when we're gone and she's well mannered. Really appreciate your video. It's the best I've seen on Corgis.
I'm glad to hear all of that about her being comfortable in her crate! I regret so much not crate training Willo from the beginning. I am so glad you appreciated this video! Makes me so happy to hear :)
Im getting my corgi july 30 and im so excites and nervous! Thank you for this video
Hello from my pups Lollie and Gilbert :) They are my first pets and i watched a lot of youtube videos before i brought them home, so thank you for this kind of video, it helps a lot of fur parents , specially new ones :)
Aw hi Lollie and Gilbert! I’m so glad our videos have been helpful! Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
I love the video so far! One minor thing to note that hit me hard. Puppies can apparently hold their bladder for 1hour for every month old. Seems static...but when I adopted mine at 8 1/2 weeks I could practically set a timer to it. Every 2 hours he had to go and if I walked him at that interval he went QUICKLY.
Well yes...the body is in motion and moving. Of course your going to want to use the bathroom more if your running around.
Love this video and I also love how you acknowledge where you could have done better In your training of your corgi good job 👍🏼🙂
Thank you so much!!
Great advice, thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely amazing video!
Aw thank you!
Playing with their feet every day is so important. The nail trim is important too. Fun video
Omfg. I recently adopted a 2 month old Corgi and this Video is gold. You literally addressed all the main issues I had with my pup during my first weeks.
Guys it's no joke. This video is GOLD!!!
great video!
Wow, what an incredible resource! Thanks so much! I’m getting not just my first Corgi, but actually my first dog ever, in two weeks and I’m super nervous! I’ve always had cats & I know dogs are very different. This was tremendously helpful. Thanks again! 🙏🧡
Omg, little fluff ball. The ears! Adorable
I have a almost 6 month old corgi. Her name is sourdough (and obviously corgi bread dog name) and this videos helped so much! But a little tip, if your corgi is a lot older and still pees on the grass pad, go to your local pet co or pet store and the should have a potty spray, the spray is used if your dog is peeing in a spot that they shouldn’t be going potty in. You spray it in the spot were you want them to go potty and they should go. Eventually they will get used to it
Sourdough! Omg, I LOVE that name! So darn cute.
Cute video. Great insight. I always tell folks who are looking, "The hair is Real!". I have had 5 Corgis now & have worked with horses and other live stalk for years so have had them around in that regard as well as a more of a house type dog. My current Pembroke Corgi is "Lili"; a female red headed Tri. I am currently dying from a rare illness, which has progressed over the years and is shutting down my autonomic nervous system. This last year has been rough, however I have the love and the devotion of little Lili by my side. I could make a video myself demonstrating the love, intelligence, patience and faithfulness of this little girl. When the time is right I have a perfect forever home chosen for her. I have over the years worked with many breeds and hands down if you get their respect, understand their nature and are firm and patiently loving, _they are stubborn cuties,_ Corgis are just simply the best! ♥
Btw the bleeps at the beginning of this video almost made me turn the video off. Very annoying and takes away from your hard work.
Bringing a corgi puppy home in November, and I’m so excited. These tips are going to be so helpful!
I'm so glad!
How's it going now? I really want a corgi too
Wow great advice. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Im getting corgi tommorow and this is a lifesaver
This was really helpful to me. I'm a first time Dad of a corgi and everything you said makes sense! Toe nail clipping is due so I'll post after!
McCann dog training has a good video that teaches you how to teach your puppy to let you cut nails. It is on RUclips and it is free.
Great advice !
I have a Corgi who is a year old. He eats mulch, rocks and anything else. I found that ignoring him is the best policy.
A little too aggressive for me or sassy as you say. I’ll have to buy new socks.
I’ve taught him to stay out of the garage which I use as a wood shop. Concerned about the noise, dust and him ingesting something. He stays at the doorway and watches me.
He loves people who visit.
Love my Corgi
Your dog is so adorable! I want to get a Corgi now, lol.
I’m so glad that we potty trained our corgi without potty pads. He’s pretty much potty trained now! Hes 6 months old now and he’s gotten better at puppy biting but still does it & he seems like a reactive dog which we’re trying to work on. We also have a play pen with a crate inside and don’t put him in the crate when we leave, just the play pen. I didn’t realize that we need to train him for the crate, I want him to have more space lol. Thanks for these tips 💕
I did exactly like you said about the potty training schedule.. 👍🏻👍🏻
💖 Thank You! 🐈
My daughter just brought home a 7week old female Pembroke Corgi/Aussie Shepard/Blue Heeler. This is an excellent video and I bet my daughter has already watched it because she is training me how to be with her puppy.
I just adore Willo
Aw thank you
I hope to get a corgi puppy this year, it'll be the first dog that I've owned as an adult so I'm nervous about doing everything right. Your video has a lot of good information 😊
I just bought a corgi a few days ago! I'm super excited
@@JadeHammy Aww congrats! Give them an extra cuddle for me 😊
I’m getting mine in two months! It will be the first dog I own as an adult too and I’m nervous
did you get one and how is it going
This is ALL I need!! thank you… it’s going to be new journey 😆 first pet!
Good luck!!
Psyllium husks are good for stool too! It’s the same stuff that’s in metamucil 😊
my girlfriend and I are getting a corgi next month, and in preparation ive been binging your videos
I wish I’d done many of these things too with my 1 yr old Corgi. Hoping it’s not too late! I had such good plans too.
You're not too late!
This is a fantastic video.
Thank you very much!
Very helpful for this future Corgi parent 😃
How are you enjoying your food with dog hair?
I have a 4 year old corgi/chihuahua and my baby(Karma) is spot on to so many things with Willow thanks for the video
You are so welcome!
Omgggg I rescued karma and she was trained when daddy and I received her but although she was trained a lot of things she was abused so I'm happy about some of the training (sit,stay,potty trained,kiss,who's that,up,outside) she is really messed up in other ways God bless the rescue moms and dads
The way I taught my dogs not to be aggressive with food was by putting my hand inside their mouth as they're eating. I still do it sometimes now that they're adults and they just look at me like "are you done 🙄" 😂😂
Wouldn't recommend this with an older rescue though! Only puppies. Maybe put your hand on their food first, or even let them eat from your hand so they know what's edible and what's a finger. Some people take the plate or some food from them for a few seconds, but personally I don't have the heart 😅
We have had a senior rescue for 4 years and we are still struggling to teach him the difference between fingers and food :D so it is good that you mention, not to do it with rescues. Covering the food with my palm works quite well but feeding him from the hands just doesn’t work unless it’s from the Palm.
@@sararoeth I think that might be good enough! As long as he doesn't get angry when you're near him eating :) I know some strays* that eat from my fingers but they're not used to being fed like that and they look like they wonder when I'll drop the food to the ground 😅 it took some time but they don't bite and if they confuse my finger with food they let go when they notice I'm not letting go lol
* they're strays but they live in a factory and the people treat them more like wild dogs, they feed them and pet them, and the doggies have their own beds, but they don't have a human
I bred and showed Shar=pei for over 20 years. Everything you said is 100% for all dogs. I dont have any Pei's keft, so it is a new bred for me. Getting a Corgi next week. Very different from Shar-pei in temperment and activity level. But on some level they are dogs and all need a good foundation. Thanks for the video.
I made a lot of mistakes with Rory. Willow is so well-behaved! We all learn, especially the socialization part! Rory is kind of a nervous nellie around people. I would have taken him into the office every day and passed him around the staff if I could do it again (and absolutely will with the next one!).
Thank you.
I’m getting a corgi tomato’s and I’m so excited
🛑🛑 This was one of the Best Videos 😀👍.
We just got our 8 week old Corgi, Lucy. 🐶
We have never had a Corgi, however the videos and content that you are supplying are Outstanding 👍💯.
The question I had…
Did Willow’s ears come up at the same time??
We currently have one ear up, and one ear down. 🤷♂️.
Thanks so much for your content. As a New Subscriber I look forward to future Willow updates and tips. 💯
Ad soon as my pup was fully vaccinated I took him to my friends house who has 3 dogs one was about the same age as mine. I'm so glad I did that when he was young. He's never aggressive toward dogs now.
4:14 my grandma used mini little carrots for my corgi pup, he actually ate them. They were frozen as well,
My older corgi he is now 4 loves his crate lol idk how I did it but I started off with a puppy crate in my room. He goes in any crate w/o you asking. If it’s open he will go in when coming back from outside. He was fairly easy to train. Olive my 10 week old is giving me a run lol
hahaha those female corgis will truly test you as much as possible 😂
Hi Willow, I'm your sister Minion (Mini) Loved seeing you again.
Yes indeed patio and rugs once they get trained on those peep patches or peepads
Beautiful 🐕. Like 👍🏽
awww when she law down on the floor and cried :'( cutie
Power to the corgis, they are very smart and can be trained with praise instead of treats as they are eager to please. They need lots of activity since they are a working class dog and really smart. Wonderful companions.
This was so thorough, thank you! I'm most likely going to a breeder next weekend to look at a corgi puppy 😁
I'm so glad! Good luck!
Thanks
Thanks for being honest and open about ur mistakes with ur dog! Definitely helpful!
It was very helpful, thank You! :)
Glad to hear that!
Easy way to fix the potty patch issue would be to reintroduce the potty patch where willo likes to go now and slowly migrate it to the location desired. Mayb only moving it inches in a week. I’ve actually trained cats to use the toilet with this same method using the litterbox like the puppy pad
Thanks! This really helps a loooot. I have a 2 month old corgi now and sometimes I just couldn't handle his energy. Corgis are full of energy and due to their herding skills, my corgi Happy, likes to chase people around the house and nibbling our feet when we walk. My parents hate it when that happens. lol. Is Willow also like that when he was still a puppy? I really want to know. Thanks!
Yes Willo did that all the time as a puppy! She doesn't do it at all anymore so yours will probably grow out of it haha
I was Very Proud Corgi Mama!!! My Daisy May had tummy cancer 3 yrs this October! She is my soul mate and Best Friend . My whole room is now a Daisy May shrine.
sooooooooooooooo cute!
i could just tell by her eyes shes a good person
very good tips ,mine is 2yo and i had never cut his nails seems like he naturally grind them by walking him and scratching on the sidewalk and the ground.
I have an almost 8 month old Corgi. She is tiny compared to your Willow. I also have two Cattle dogs, one blue and one red. This is a great trio. But I loved your video. I , personally, have had great success starting out a corgi in a crate relative to their size. Not large. Something that they can turn around easy in for potty training. The more room they have , the more they think they can pee "off" their bedding , for lack of better phrase. In my experience, with Heelers/ Cattle dogs , my Corgi didn't train as quickly as my Red and Blue, in the house breaking area. Patience is a virtue. She is great now at 7 months. My heelers were trained at 12 weeks. Just know your breeds. But knowing this breed is just as intelligent as a Heeler, I have a feeling her set back was with the breeder, as they kept her on puppy pads a long time and not exposed as much to the outside. I absolutely loved your advice on the nail trimming and teeth brushing. I've already implemented it in my daily routine, for my 3 herding dogs. We all wish we knew then, what we know now. You are obviously, a great Dog Momma. Thanks for all the great content. Your Corgi sploot is adorable I can' t get over how tiny, but fierce my Brida is. She lives up to her name lol. Thanks and keep it coming
Thanks for the video! My corgi is almost 6 months and loves putting everything in his mouth. I'm going to start ignoring him when he does it and hope it helps! Do you like Willo's Fi collar?
Can't wait to watch -- We have a 9-week old Lil corgi girl and a LOT of work to do!
Ahh that's so exciting though! Good luck! :)
If you teach them about Crate training early on, they will love their crate. We have Crate trained every dog we have, Wall-E goes into his crate at bed time sleeps there and plays there while I am sleeping. He doesn't whine or howl unless he has to go to the bathroom. A puppy is a puppy until about 2 years old, and then they get free reign only if they are fully potty trained. This is my first Corgi, but we have 4 dogs, 2 GSDs, a Rat Terrier, and a Cocker. I got Wall-E after my Sarge died about 3 months later, I didn't want to replace Sarge but needed a PTS dog.
I had two sisters. One has since passed. There was an amazing difference in their personalities. Lizzie was the more aggressive of the two while Maggie even today is very quiet. Her eye sight isn't too good any more at 13 years old. One eye is blind and the other has a little sight. It doesn't stop her though. She knows where her food dish is at 5:00 and the little treat pile. The pile sits there all day and she goes and gets a piece when the whim strikes. I break the NUDGES in 3 pieces. I get DOGS LOVE CHICKZEN at COSTCO and those get broken up too. A small piece of Jerky and a Greenie round it out. At bedtime I take her out and close up afterwards. She gets half a NUBS.
The dogs had free rein during the day. I have a 1/2 acre for them to roam in. I put in a pet door and they go in and out when they please. Maggie would walk the perimeter of the fence several times a day and chase the chipmunks from the bird feeding area. If a delivery man comes she stays near by. I tell the guy to say, "Hello Maggie" and she goes away. She goes out on the leash once a day.
These Corgis are the best dog I've ever owned. Intelligent and with sweet dispositions. There's some maintenance but not too much. The long hair around their butts needs trimming or it picks up poop. And they need to be brushed. Do it outside so the hair will float away on the wind. There's still shed hair in the house but not nearly as much if you don't.
They like people. They follow us all around the house, inside and outside. and they'll jump in our laps without prompting. They ae playful and entertaining. It's hard to find better dogs than Corgis.
Our corgi is almost 6 months old. I’ve been working with her since we got her at 8 weeks. She is getting better but she has such a terrible stomach. We were told to stay away from chicken which is basically in everything. She refuses to eat some days then gets hangry. I’m at a complete loss of what to do with her but we love her very much. I need to do wait commands and I started place but our other dog peed on her place and it hasn’t been washed yet 😂😂 She doesn’t trust the other dogs around her food. We are working on that. But her playpen is her safe place and that’s when her most protective tendencies come out so the playpen can backfire on you also. It feels like I can’t win for losing lol
I want a corgi SO bad, but I'm allergic to dogs and cats, so I cant have one.... I love dogs in general, but I LOVE corgis! 🐶🐶
If I may ask too... what do you recommend for training treats? Hes still a puppy so I want something he can scarf down quickly. Some treats take him way too long to eat and he looses focus. I have tried some freeze dried crunchies that work good but they are expensive by volume.
Id love to hear your recommendations!
Very good one thing missing TEACH RECALL!!!!! Come when called it can save your dogs life
When I lived in an apartment and got my puppy, I trained him to go on a pad in front of the door. He got it into his head he was supposed to pee in front of doors, including car doors. It took a while to untrain him.
