A lot of Corgis use their mouth as you would your hands. So they grab things like a person's hands with their mouth. It's perfectly normal as is the learning curve of how to manage the mouth grabbing and a friendly nip without going hard out. It is the handlers duty to teach a Corgi how far they can go and when it may hurt or is not appropriate. A loud OUCH when grabbed or nipped too harshly usually is all that is required to quite quickly relay to a Corgi to relax their grip a little and come in a little softer. It is very much a puppy thing which I regret because my Taylor does not do grabbing of hands anymore. It use to be such great fun.
