Linda -I'm sure all dogs will toilet outside when on a leash. If the leash is long enough for the Corgi to wander left or right and to smell where other dogs have been before, he/she will toilet one way or another By the same token, if the handler allows their Corgi to follow a smell - then toileting will sometimes be the consequence. Whether on or off the lead, Taylor picks his own spot for pooping and he often rejects an area for reasons I don't know about.


A dog that goes a little crazy at a given time regularly is certainly, frapping. No need to hold him/her back unless there is a absolute dangerous situation. Frapping takes on different forms and is never anything other than letting off steam.
If a Corgi misbehaves, don't turf him/her in a cage. Picking them up gently and puting them into a quiet place for 10 minutes is a good form of calming down any situation. A quiet place could be a small room, (not a dark room) or a bathroom. When you come to let them out, give them a little treat and a little praise. Corgis are sensitive so if the handler oversteps the situation, it can become exebated. However, don't put a stopper on a frap.
