Thanks all! The muzzle for future dog sitting trips will be a MUST!!!! I will recommend she keep an eye on him and possibly get a urine sample if she notices any other potty issues. He too was a rescue, so who knows what happened to him when he wa...

He could have a prostate infection. Charlie had an infected and enlarged prostate and had problems going to the bathroom. I didn't really notice until he started dribbling in the house and I took him to the vet for a kidney or bladder infection. A...

Ouch, hope you feel better soon. I clean Gizmo everywhere everyday so he's used to it. He DID try to bite someone when we were eating outdoors at a restaurant. A man came over to say hi and pet him and I could tell that Gizmo was unsure so I kept ...

I'm sorry you were bitten. My two-year-old male corgi loves being toweled, but hates when I towel him 'round his nether regions. He will grumble a lot to let me know how displeased he is, though he's never growled or snapped. Even if he's getting...

Rats. Why didn't I think of that dodge when I was in school? "The dog ate my homework" doesn't work, but "the dog bit me" just might. :-) That's an interesting behavior: he tolerates that sort of handling from his owner, but not from a stranger. ...

My corgi, Sparty, is very touchy about being handled. I always have the vet muzzle him before any shots or procedures. I can handle him and he never even growled at my grandson but I still watch him closely. He has some good reasons for his behavi...

He may have something wrong. Infection or something. I think your friend should great a urine sample and get him checked out.

dog bite

Last week I was dog sitting my friends 6 yr old Corgi and while cleaning off his feet and belly after a trip through the mud, he bit me very badly when I touched his 'personal areas'. Apparently that's a no no. But his mommy says he has never acted like that was a problem with her. So I got to go to the ER and get it packed, tetnus booster, round of antibiotics, the whole 9 yards. It still hurts a lot and has prohibited me from doing homework as it's on my right hand.

Anybody else have dogs tha… Continue

Puppy got skunked!!!!!

O.k. when I let my puppies out this morning, my 7month old Snickers ran around the barn and then I saw him come around the other side chasing a skunk!!! It was too funny. Though he did get sprayed....it could have been MUCH worse. I've given him one bath and hopefully that will do it. He really must have avoided the worst of the spray. But it was just such a funny picture to see him running after this little black and white puff ball that was waddling as fast as it could go. Was wondering if any… Continue

Potty training regression! Help!

O.k. My 7 month old, Snickers, has been accident free for almost 2 1/2 months. Well, we brought our little Chloe home about 2 wks ago and he is now pooping all over the house!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do!!! Could this be because he's upset about the new puppy???? Or is it normal to have some regression in potty training around this age???? Any suggestions or help would be GREAT!!!!!

Chosing the right brush for our evershedding corgis!!!!

I would love to know what brushes everyone has found to work the best on this thick/coarse/shedding coat our corgi's often have!!!! I stood in the pet store in shock at the huge selection and extreme price ranges. I just don't know if spending the extra money is worth it or if there are brushes that work just as well in the more moderate price range. I would love anyone's recommendations and advice!

We're going away for spring break, after we get back I want to work on obedience a bit more, and then I think we may be ready for a playdate - that would be fun :)
