You're in trouble. Watch you hands!!!! Wear men's clothing which usually have pockets so you can place your hands in your pockets when not required by your palm-reading Corgi. Chip will read you like a book. Wear green or orange gloves - Corgis have trouble identifying either colour. Whatever you do, don't wriggle your fingers - trust me, don't do it. It's double Dutch to us but to a Corgi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Seriously, Corgis pick up on hands and arms and shoulders and body language and where hands, arms, shoulders point, they go .......somewhere anyway. In agility, eventually, Corgis will ignore your commands/comments whilst training or in competition and look for your body parts. So in the heat of the moment you can say JUMP when it's a tunnel or WALK ON when its a tire or GO THROUGH when its a weave - they'll thankfully ignore that and judge what to do by looking at your hands and shoulders.
