Advice: Corgis are natural nippers and barkers. But, you have to understand what they are barking you at. Corgis are very smart and they do tend to get bored of playing the same toys and routine. They really crave for someone to play with. My Milo still does that. So when you have some time, set aside even 30 minutes to play with them and exhaust them out.

Milo loves his toys but he also loves to play with us. Some games he enjoys with us: #1 - Tugging the rope and pulling it. He's very determined. #2 - Pretending to chase his him. He looks back once he knows we stop chasing him. It gives him a good exercise rush.

Do whatever games feel right and fits your corgi. A little bit goes a long way. Eventually the nipping and barking will go away. Trust me, they are barking to tell you they want to play - not out of being mean.

Good luck.

Mabel,

My last Corgi(female) would have proved you wrong She was in no way a nipper, and she never barked. She was a calm, gentle dog.
