If a person is going to use a choke collar on an animal, they need to be shown how to use it and use it properly. My obedience instructor says to "never" leave this type of collar on a dog because they can catch it on something and strangle. Also, from articles I have read on animal behavior and dog training, tug of war games are not recommended because they can teach agression. A corgi should be handled and played with gently to teach gentleness. I would suggest using a squirt bottle of water and when he grabs your clothes or bites at you, spray him. I have never tried this but it might work. I also do not recommend the chase game with your pup because it teaches them to run from you as a game and if they ever get loose, they may think it is a game and end up in traffic.
