When I wrote my article on why female dogs do better at agility than do male dogs, the unanimous opinion among canine behaviourists and trainers that I interviewed was that females are generally easier to train/more trainable than are the males. Also there was a study done on the subject in the USA some years ago. Among the reasons why females are easier is the general comparative passiveness of females and that males are often distracted through things like wanting to mark territory.

Usually I'm not in favor of "corgi specific" but in this case we are talking corgis and the males are usually more passive, more eager to please than the females.
Remember that canine behavorists normally see a large variety of breeds and mixed breeds. They are not corgi specific people. Nor have they lived with several different males and female corgis.
This is one area where breeders would know more than a behaviorsit. A breeder is a "specialist" in his or her chosen breed.
