The SSSHH method is something that we took from Cesar Milan. The hissing sound of Ssshhh (instead of quiet or hush) gets his attention. With a finger snap and SSSHHH he is usually quiet after 2 or 3 times. If it continues, I get on the floor on my hands and knees and with my right hand, I take him by the scruff and gently push him to the floor, and usually onto his back (the submissive position). At the same time I still say SSSHHH. 99% of the time he behaves well after that. We've only had to do this a few times and once with a chew toy. The chew toy incident was horrible. I tried to take away his toy, and he dropped the toy, bit my finger, picked his toy up and ran off. Believe me, that didn't fly. So we used the submissive position, and he has NEVER even growled when I take a toy or put my hand in his food. Some don't agree with it, but Corgis are so smart, you let them get away with something once, and it's a habit that's hard to break.
