Jprechel,

Don't give up on your new dog yet - you have only had him 2 weeks, 8 weeks
is a bit young to be taken from his mother and litter for a corgi, but you
already have him, so that doesn't matter anymore. Give him love and attention, but as Cardiguy says a firm "no" when he bites your hands or
make a loud sound like "Ouch" when he does that. We did that with our puppy and he learned quickly that what he was doing was wrong and then would put his ears back and lick us to tell us he was sorry. Just be consistant
and don't let him get away with it sometimes and then other times discipline
him for it. My Corgi is affectionate, but he prefers to take his naps in his
crate or on the kitchen floor, he doesn't nap close to us and that is fine - it
is what he likes to do.

What is the reason for the litter box? - I know you can do it with dogs, but do
you not have a yard to take him out in? If you have a yard, it might help
to take him outside and teach him to go outdoors and praise him lavishly when
he potties and give him a small treat - this will also help with him getting used
to you as his companion and also your being in charge. Also, buy some
toys that he may like, a small ball or some furry thing and start to play with
him - interacting with him when you can in a positive manner will help develop
a relationship with the both of you - of course, when you play, he will probably try to bite at your hands, but be consistent in teaching him that is
not okay. It will work out, give it time - it won't happen overnight and try
to stay positive with the little guy - he's just 10 weeks old
