Camber can be a real "you know what". Her name is on the muzzle list at Petco. She bears her teeth at other dogs all the time. She is not into playing with other dogs or being around energetic dogs. She's not afraid to nip either, but has never bitt…
You said he met the Great Pyr while camping; when did he meet the female dogs? if it was in his home he may have been guarding his territory. if you have not already, try introducing them at a park or somewhere none of the dogs can claim as theirs.…
We got our 3 year old Tenby from rescue when he was 6 months old. He had zero social skills, our other Corgi, Chepstow is Mr. personality and loves everyone. It was a year before Tenby was comfortable with anyone other than us. Another year it took…
Thank you ALL for your input on this, and ALL of the replies make perfect sense now, TYVM. While I'm at it, can anyone shed some light on why my "Buddy" 4 year old HATES my sister's 2 female dogs, but when I brought him camping last year with us, he…
I guess it depends on the dog. Finnigan has run into people with cigarettes on our walks and has never been bothered by it. Same with my friends Lab. I have not seen a dog react to someone who is smoking but I can see how that would be a possibility.
Good point, Joanna. My very outgoing, very friendly, very socialized, loves-everyone-he-meets male will shy away from anyone with a cigarette. He's a therapy dog and is fine with wheelchairs, walkers, kids in strollers, etc, but the smell of a cigar…
My dogs (who are exhaustively socialized) probably would have growled too. I would bet it's the cigarette. You smell very odd and dangerous to a dog who is not used to that smell. I don't have any friends or family who smoke, and it's not that commo…
My pit bull was raised with my corgi and she would let him roll her over onto her back, lol. But my female corgi is much more dominant and not into 'other' people or dogs unless it's taken very slowly.

- About Me:
- I'm 46, in Minnesota and just got married last October. I'm in the Health Insurance business, but am currently working in the Hotel business as a front desk representative. I LOVE to travel and have been to many places. My favorite car is a convertible, though I have never owned one because of where I live.
- About My Corgi(s):
- I just became a Corgi owner on 10/12/08 after having to put down my 15 year old German Shepard/Malamute dog that I had since 1993...It tore me up, but she lost all usage of her hind quarters after suffering some form of a stroke in her spinal column. I found my Corgi named Buddy on Craigslist.org on 10/12/08 and upon going to see this cute 2 1/2 year old dog, I brought him home. He is a Pembroke Corgi and silly as a goose...lol He likes to play BALL all day if he could, and also likes to play hide and seek and finds every little corner to hide himself and his little bones in...lol The only problem I seem to be having with him at the moment is that I cannot get him to go to the bathroom in our back yard, and I'm sure it's because he smells my other Dog all over back there, so if ANYONE has any ideas on how I can undo this, please feel free to tell me, as our winter month's are coming upon us here, and I really need him to be able to just go out our back door and down 2 steps, instead of having to bundle up in the dead of winter to take him away from his yard. Thank you to anyone at all that can help me out with this poor little guy.

- Hi Jewels, if I hear you correctly, you're trying to teach buddy to no.2 in the backyard right? First thing first, his potty training will need to be schedule, same time of the day to go out. In order to do that, buddy will need to be fed same time of the day, as an adult corgi, he should eat either once or twice a day, and should poop once or twice a day. Exercise him and walk him daily will encourage bowel movement. With my dogs, my younger one would poop first thing in the morning and at 5pm when we go for a 40 min walk, for my older one, he does no poop in the morning and will only do that during our 5pm walk, he is a clean freak and will not poop in our own yard. So in your case, it could be just a personality thing, or may be when buddy was with his first owner, they didn't supervise him and made sure that he pooped before playing, in another words, he was distracted. When a dog changed environment, he does go through some stress and bowel movement will somewhat takes time to adjust, so give it time, look at it more like a jet lag and in no time he'll adjust his behavior to your lifestyle. Hope that helps.

- Hi Jewels, do you have any Buddy's info from his previous owner? why was he not potty trained before? any past history would help. So since he joined your family, could you tell me what you've tried with him? how many family members, how are the dynamics?

- Welcome Jewels! Jillie says Hi and we are looking forward to seeing pictures of your corgi. In regards to your backyard issue, I agree to put him on a leash and try walking with him. Hopefully, just till he feels comfortable and confident that when he goes out he will still get to come back in the house. Take treats out with you and praise him for going in the backyard and reward him with a treat. I hope he learns how to go outside by himself real soooooon, before it gets too cold! We had to do this with our JIllie, when we got her in March, but now she does the backyard all by herself. ( now sometimes she doesn't want to come in. lol) Good luck...keep us posted!

- Welcome Jewels! Your corgi may have had a bad experience at his last owners house...do you know anything about him??? Maybe he was left outside and is afraid of being left...have you tried taking him out on a leash in the backyard? Corgi's respond very well to FOOD as an incentive...just a thought.
