Obediance classes are really good. They are actually more important for the human than for the dog. I would recommend going to a puppy obediance class just for the basics.

Corgis are very smart and they will manipulate you if you let them. They will learn all the tricks rather quickly and with little effort. This is where the obediance class helps the master. The dog trainer is there to answer questions you might have and how to inspire your corgi to continue to "sit , heal, stay, drop it, and leave it". Also, you will see how your puppy interacts with other dogs and how well they follow commands with the other dogs in the room distracting them.

Another reason why obediance classes are good is that they help socialize the dog. Which is really important.

Hi highly reccomend obediance class although I do understand the economic side of your question.
