Bonny replied to Erin & Faye's discussion 'How many walks?'

I guess I'm the mean mommy, but my pups get to go out twice a day for potty, morning and evening. I have a bell up for them to ring, but they never use it (and yes, I did teach them how!). I took them out more often when Elvis was less than a year...

Sounds like you're doing a great job with Francis. We live in an apartment about half the size of yours, and have two corgis. One of them just turned a year last month, so we know what keeping a puppy in a small space is like! It's actually worked...

Profile Information

Hometown:: Brookings, SD

About Me:: A relatively new corgi fan. I work with ornamental plants and the people who grow and sell them. Growing up on a dairy farm fostered my love of all things living, and I especially like working with animals. I am outgoing, adventurous, and active, so corgis seemed like a great breed for my first dog. My husband grew up with coonhounds, and was skeptical of a "small" dog, but he finds corgis to be as neat as I do!

About My Corgi(s):: I have two corgis: Junebug and Elvis
Junebug is my first corgi. She's now 3, and we have had some serious fun together. I love corgis, and am thrilled when I see another one. However, Junebug is very small....16 lbs! But her personality is not limited by her size. She's all corgi! Fetch is her favorite activity, but we also walk, swim, rollerblade, and hike. She's a good student, having successfully completed her first obedience class and is now working on a repetoir of tricks. But mostly, Junebug is nuts :)

Elvis is much like his namesake: relaxed, handsome, self-confident, and good with the ladies (maybe when he gets older he'll develop a fondness for sequins and polyester??)

On a visit home, we were out on the horses. June was riding in the cart, but she wanted out. She kept up with my horse for a bit, but clearly wanted UP! I stopped and put her in the saddle with me, and she rode there like she was born there, even though it was her first experience with horses.

Elvis and Junebug pass their beginner's obedience test!

Last night was test night for our beginner obedience class, and thankfully both dogs passed! They had to successfully complete the following:

Heeling with loose leash and minimal corrections
Sitting at the halt
sit stay for 1 min
down stay for 2 min
stand and stay for inspection
polite meet and greet
sit, stay, recall, and finish on command

About half of the dogs passed the test, and now we can go on to other classes! Junebug is going into agility and I may continue obedience with Elvis so he… Continue

Success at last on the treadmill!!

A couple of years ago, I tried to teach Junebug how to walk on the treadmill. It wasn't ours, we don't own one, but I thought I'd take advantage of an opportunity. In short, she hated it, was afraid of it, and would no longer go to the basement where it was. We haven't approached one since.

This Christmas at Mom and Dad's, I thought I'd give it another try. I would use food, this time, and see if it helped. I had the chicken in hand, and just asked her to step on it. Each small approach I rewar… Continue

Corgis on Animal Planet's Dogs 101

On Saturday night, the AP miniseries "Dogs 101" profiled another group of breeds, and the PWC was one of them!

They did a good job of describing the history and notable characteristics of pems, and showed an array of cute corgi's. It was nice to see them get a minute of the spotlight!

Barking bothering the neighbors--help!

Dh and I last week moved into a new apartment. The dogs seem to have adjusted well, for the most part, however Junebug is sensitive to noises outside, and gives an alert bark (1-2 barks) when she hears cars pull in, shutting doors, people talking outside, or other dogs barking. I have been working on desensitizing her to these noises but this can take a little time. I usually spend a few minutes with her right after work when I get home knocking on the door (which affects her the most) and rewar… Continue

We're taking him in 2 days to the vet where we're going to get our 6 month supply - we just used a basic, emergency frontline dose yesterday - and we still haven't decided which flea med to get him for the long haul. Very stressful. I've heard the shelf flea meds like Sentry are a gamble, though they're only like $7 for 4 months. So any info about Advantix would help! Online testimonials, I can never believe.

At 2:43pm on January 12, 2009, Gina said…: thanks again for the help! i hope it works! Training him to sit, if i remember, didn't take very long at all. i hope it's the same way for getting him to stay.
