Where to start
Usually motivated by food and play. Use that in training and keep sessions short and rewarded.
First focus
Teach "leave it" and a calm settle to manage chasing and nipping at heels.
Next
Keep them mentally busy with trick training and food games.
Daily habit
Teach a "quiet" cue early, because Corgis like to use their voices.
Breed notes describe tendencies in a group of dogs, not your dog. Every dog is an individual, and Dogify does not assess your dog. This is general training information and not a substitute for a qualified professional.
