Generally Corgi puppies are easy to manage and train but there are some that are overly active and are destroyers so it pays to choose carefully. It also pays to try and keep one step ahead of your puppy ie anticipation. From day one they will begin to respond to praise and reward but don't expect instant success. Time and effort is the key but from day three I would start into the basic training which is come, sit, stay and before a week is passed I would expect that a pup knew what is required with those three commands. From then discipline and the correct pathway of a puppy becomes so much easier. In New Zealand a puppy of three months (12 weeks) can be entered in conformation shows and Corgi pups of this age are not inferior to the best behaved three-four month old pups in the showring of any breed.
