Sweetlychee:
Is it a matter of finding the right dogs to play with Milo?

Send Milo over to play with Lulu. She will chase and play rough but one of the first things she does is rollover on her back and show submission when she meets new dogs. She almost always does this when she meets a new dog.

Tucker rarely does this. About the only time I see him be submissive to other dogs is when he visits his buddies across the road - the dobermans. These dogs are all legs and Tuck loves to herd them, run between their legs, and get them chasing him. When they finally catch him, he immediately rolls over and is submissive.

The dobermans act like they don't know what to make of him so they play bow and the games begin again. They really have a great temperament.

And as for "they are not pack dogs like hounds and only need humans".... I guess I've never heard this.

I've always read that Corgis were social animals. I didn't realize it was human contact they needed and not other dogs.

Since Lulu came to live with us, Tuck gets snarky (snarl/growl/bark/ shows teeth) occasionally when he is on leash and meets another dog on leash. Off leash... no problem. He just runs and plays.

I took him to the dog park while visiting a friend and he ran around with all the dogs, no problem. All new dogs he'd never met before, all shapes and sizes (including a gorgeous Nefie!). His puppy sitter takes him to the dog park all the time for play groups. Now that Lulu has all her vaccinations, she goes too.
