*~* Welcome to gocorgi !!

I have 2 sister 1 year old Pembroke Corgi dogs.
Their names are: Midnight & Sunshine.

My children are older that your daughter...BUT, when I first got Midnight & Sunshine I was a little bit worried about my kids playing too rough with my puppies. I just directly disiplined my kids EVERY TIME they would play too rough with Midnight & Sunshine. I tried really hard NOT to say, "NO" too much to my children. I tried to use descriptive words like, "Pet the puppies....NOT PUSH THEM AROUND THE ROOM !!" <--- lol...

My children are now 13 years old & 11 years old. They know better than to wrestle with 2 puppies !! But, when MOM is not around.....ya know what can and sometimes DOES happen. CHAOS !!!

My respectful advice ??
As you interact with your puppy....explain to your children what you are doing and WHY you do it that way. Then, you can have your children to the same activity. Always with you there watching.

As we mature...the ears come up...our personality develops...no more a pup. When we chew our bone...the legs come out...and the "Flying Squirrel" lies alone. A corgi is a wonderful breed...much LOVE from owner to Canine...is received."
