It's not you or your question that caused the ruckus. It's that some of us disagree, and Michael won't agree that there just might be more than one right way to raise a corgi (or any dog). It's been going on for a long time now.

Don't worry about it. Unfortunately this happens anytime anyone asks the question(s) you did. Michael believes there is one way to raise a puppy and it is carved in stone. Others of us, with a broader base of resources, experiences, a wider variety of choices and research options are aware there is no one set way. We even realize with our own dogs (and for breeders even litter to litter) one size does not fit all and there are many options to feed and raise a healthy puppy.

Glad to hear things are improving, that's what is important.

1. Hand feed
2. Teach him to share (use low quality food, take it away with a command eg 'Give' and give him something better. Keep going but always make it something better than what he had before. Search this up on google for more info.)Also it may be because the other animals are around, hand feed him one on one and also teach him to share one on one.
He may feel threatened currently, especially if he was deprived of food in the litter.
