How do I get her to stop it?

[Pawsies]

Isis my Cardigan Welsh Corgi keeps going for my Bichon Frise's face. Sometimes biting, sometimes licking. Of course this is not appropriate and we do not want there to be a rivalry between them but currently there is. He is scared of her.
We would like POSITIVE training methods only please, that means no choke chains/no dominance like Caeser Millan's methods. Just positive behaviour such as clicker training etc.

Also she is 12 weeks. How do I housetrain her? Our current routine is go outside everytime she has eaten/played/slept until she does something. It's working but she still does manage to get mess on the floor if we don't do it quick enough.

Is she being mean or trying to play? My corgi, Zia, is 4 months old. She constantly goes for my cocker spaniel's (Zip) face and ears. She is just playing with Zip and Zip is real good with her. They haven't actually gotten "mean" with each other. I'm sorry I'm no help in that area. You may just need to tell her "no" when she starts that and put her in an area by herself for a few minutes. Maybe others will have better ideas!

On the subject of housetraining, there are many good ideas on threads specific about housetraining. I use the crate method (only when I am gone from home). I also used the training pads in the house. Just recently has Zia gone a few days without an accident in the house. It just takes patience and consistency. It will get better!

Yea, when you say biting and licking - licking is perfectly fine. It can also be 'kissing' so I can't see any wrong doing there. But biting - what kind of biting - play biting, vicious and harmful blood-drawing biting. Does your BF yelp in pain and agony. Generally Corgis know just how far to go without hurting. If your BF doesn't want to respond, perhaps it is your BF that needs to be looked at. But if Isis is vicious, then the best you can do is refer to my thread and post titled " Puppy Nipping" - if it is not on the home page, you can get it by doing a search - this gives three methods of training.

Persistency in house breaking is the only real answer - acting ahead of your Corgi before the toilet eventuality - don't forget to add 'excitement' to your list and don't give her liquid after her final toilet walk at night before she goes to bed.

I also use the "crate training" method, and I think it's probably one of the best ways to go. I was using wee pads, which Yoda was using successfully for both #1 & #2, when I had him in an enclosed hard wood floor area. But he still does not know, to NOT GO on the carpet or bed. This is the most difficult part for me. If I'm supervising him, he is okay, but if I leave him roaming the house un-supervised, there will be atleast 3 soiled areas I stopped with the wee wee pads though, b/c I did not want him to get used to the idea of going "inside the house." So, before he got too used to that, I started with the crate training. He will hold it until I take him out. They will usually not go in the crate, b/c they do not want to deal with sitting in their own mess. The crate should be small enough for the dog to sit and stand up in, but that's about it. Yoda doesn't seem to mind his crate at all. He sleeps in there everynight, and he will even go inside of it w/o me asking him to! He/she may still have accidents in the crate if you wait too long to take him/her out. Along with the crate, I also use a treat system, and when he can do his business outside, I always reward + praise him. He is a smart dog, and he knows what the terms "poo poos & pee pees outside" means Your dog will be housebroken quickly, if you can devote the time to it. When you take him out of the crate, he will always have to go RIGHT AWAY, so sometimes if you take too long to open the front door of the house to get outside, he will go right there on the doormat. Yoda has done this many times, but they will soon learn to hold it better... especially to get that mouth-watering treat from you!
