So right, Debbie. Don't expect too much of a puppy as young as four months.
I 've had all my Corgis quite oustandingly trained for the show ring by the time they were four months old, but in other ways they were still the normal Corgi puppy I hoped they would be. In fact, with Taylor I encouraged him in a good number of ways to remain with his puppy ways and make some choices for himself, for as long as possible - and it doesn't seemed to have done him much harm. If your Banjo is charming as you say then give him a little 'rope' and both he and you will enjoy each other even more.

By the way, when I said that Taylor is sometimes slow to come to me when called - it generally only happens when training in agility. A few weeks ago he won first prize at an all-breeds/all non-breeds competition for recall - he was considerably the quickest to respond to my calling him from a long distance.
