Welcome HoW.Corgi,

We have had quite a few threads recently about biting and nipping puppies. First off, it's a Corgis nature, their herding instinct, to nip at legs, they were bred to nip the fetlocks of cattle to get them moving. Secondly, he's a puppy testing his power and giving his puppy teeth a workout. However, inappropriate biting when he is a puppy must be stopped ASAP. If you go to the Forums main page a do a search on "biting" you will find several threads we've had in the past few weeks on this very issue - there's some good advice in there.

The first and best thing everyone who he does this to can do is squeal, yelp or yell when he does it. That's what a fellow pup or his mother would do - he understands that means he's gone too far.

Check out the threads - let us know if you need more help.
