I started rubbing dillon's feet from the day i brought him home. I clipped his nails one week after he came to me- it was hard, he was not thrilled with this and did not want ANYTHING to do with it but I just kept going. He will not bite or nip when his feet are handled but it took daily playing with his feet for months. I started grooming him within the first week he came home. brushing him, cleaning his ears , and using the wipes on his teeth- so he would get used to it - and now he comes for a grooming session, and knows when it is alll done he gets a cookie...so he is great with that.
I do worry about the jumping, and I am still working on it, I agree with linda that the people are harder to train than the dog...i tell people to say "OFF" and then ignore him when he jumps - only if he is sitting politely, should you bend down and pet him...but people often dont listen and they say "down" instead of off, and then proceed to pet him while he is still jumping on them..GRRRR! maybe i will make him wear a Tshirt that says "corgi in training, please dont touch" LOL!!!
