Hi everyone. Our nine-month old corgi (Gimli) is a great companion but has presented us with two major challenges:

1. He doesn't come when we call him in from outside. Indoors he is very responsive, but outdoors, he ignores us and wanders away. All the books say "go get your dog if he doesn't come," but that is easier said than done (he turns it into a chase game). Our yard is big and unfenced, so we are afraid of losing him. For now, we just keep him on leash all the time, but that's a hassle for us and a bummer for him.

2. He dribbles pee around the house when left unsupervised for a couple minutes. We have a couple cats and live in a pretty small house, so I'm guessing this is a territorial thing. But what do we do to overcome the problem?

Any and all thoughts are welcome. Thanks.
