How to Stop a Corgi Dog or Puppy Biting
Now that you have finally brought home the new addition to your family, you are probably concerned about making sure that you are prepared to give him the best life possible. In order to do that, you have to make sure that he is learning all of the house rules. A properly trained dog or puppy is a happy one. The entire family will be able to truly enjoy each others company when the pets are well behaved.
If you notice that your Corgi is starting a biting behavior, you need to put an end to it right away. This will ensure that a bigger problem will not be formed because a small problem was ignored. Too many people make the mistake of thinking that a Corgi puppy biting is cute. In fact, some people end up encouraging this behavior from their puppy because of how cute they think it looks. The thing is though, that puppy is going to quickly turn into an adult dog whose bite is always going to be much worse than its bark. It is important not just for the safety of the people around your Corgi, but for the safety of your Corgi as well, that you nip this bad behavior in the bud right away.
As soon as your Corgi bites, even if you know that he was only trying to play, you have to correct him. Never hit or cause any physical harm to your pet. You can’t teach your dog not to be violent to people by being violent to him. It just does not want work that way. You have to give the “no” command and then ignore him until he calms down. Once your Corgi is showing signs of good behavior – reward him. It is the good behavior that is going to be what makes the change in your dog. Before you know it, you will not have a problem with biting any more.
There are going to cases out there of course where the biting of the dog is simply out of control. If you or anyone else is in danger, you need to seek professional help right away. Not only do you want to consult a qualified dog trainer, but you want to take your Corgi to the vet to make sure that there is not something medically wrong with him. These cases are rare, but they are no unheard of. It is best to make sure that you are covering all bases.
As you can already tell, a biting problem is not something that you want to put off. You want to make sure that you are addressing this problem sooner rather than later. Even old dogs are able to learn new behavior so if you have an older dog that has suddenly starting biting, it is not too late to make a difference in his behavior. If you care for your dog, make sure that you are closely watching for such behaviors so that you can correct them. The last thing you ever want to happen is for your dog to injure someone to the point that the law makes you put him down.
