Ive recently moved back in with my parents. Im 19, have a baby on the way and lets take this one problem at a time please haha. My parents have 2 very spoiled dogs. Now we've had a corgi in the past.... lets just say they dont trust mine now.
My corgie is a 10 month old pembroke. Hes way better behaved then our last one. My parents dogs (get away with murder) are a 4 yr old shih tzu(Gizzmo 25lbs) and a 2 yr old pompoo(Puffy 6lbs) Now Wallard (my corgi) is very well behaved most of the time. He's very friendly I was a groomer and took him to work with me and took him to the dog park all the time so hes very social with other animals. But there are a few things Wallard just has to give up. As much as i hate to do it.
Unlike my last corgi walter who was EVIL, wallard doesnt attack anyone for touching his foodbowl, he has never bitten a person, has no accidents in the house, doesnt try to destroy anything that makes a noise, Or rip up carpeting or eat the kitchen cabnits, He doesnt even shed cuz i shave him every 3 weeks. But he is only 10 mons old and he does like to get into fights with the other dogs which has left him locked up in his house when no one is home. since hes only 10 mons old who knows what its going to lead to.
He's 30 pounds, and he doesnt fight the other dogs often but lets face it when he fights with them he wins and if no one is here to ref my mom and dad are afraid he will really injure one of the other dogs.
Now in the past few weeks theres only been maybe 4 fights. all over chewies. But my mom refuses to keep the chewies up from her "babies" Wallard can even have his own chewie but have to go take the other dogs and keep his too. Gizzmo hates wallard he will get aggressive with him first leading to almost each fight theyve had. I need wallard to learn that his bone is his bone. time outs dont work. comeone, anyone who has ever known a corgi knows that they are top dog all the time. But in this house He can not be the dominant one its just not allowed my mom has a fit every time i tell her the dogs need to pick their order of dominance.
Wallard is also a piggy pork butt man! He will hurry up and eat his food to run to the other dogs food bowl and gobble all their food up too. My mom's dogs take all day to eat they pretty much just graze. wallard gets fed a little in the morning then his huge meal at night. now he's here he gets fed in the morning then a little at night. trying to keep food in wallards bowl will only make him over weight.
Now the only reason I was allowed to keep him was because I agreed to shave him, which i think he likes cuz he looooooves his new clothes, he is good about going potty outside even better than my moms dogs, hes a sweetheart,He does bark which isnt allowed but we're working on it and I proved that when i leave him he gets depressed and wont eat or sleep. He fallows me everywhere, if he cant find me he has to search then start barkin cuz he knows ill yell at him for barking then he comes running and lays down by me.
My ex was really mean to him when i wasnt around i think. When my ex used to go to pick him up and grab him he would pee on the floor and put his ears back, I even caught Justin (the ex) hittin him one day and wallard was crying. I have spanked him only when needed and he never cried out not once. and never has he peed when ive gone to get him. i used to go to school 9am-4pm and work from 5 to late into the night and wallards feeding was 8pm and i wasnt able to take him to this job. Justin used to say he fed him but i dont really know i know i fed him in the morning before i left. I think Justin did somthing to my dog. so did his friends I just cant prove it and he wants me to give him shared visitaion. Hes not even gettin visitation with his daughter let alone my dog!!!!! If anyone can help me with these behavior problems please let me know.
My dad loves wallard now, odd cuz he HATED walter, my mom said one more attack on her dogs even if it is gizzmos fault i have to send wallard to resce. As bad as walter was we never put him in rescue cuz he was her baby then. he got stung by a bee and had a reaction. I was at work at the kennels and wasnt home to give first aid, and my mom didnt call me to see where the benidril was but rushed him to the vet who put him under cuz it was to late.
Wallard is a good boy and i dont wanna get rid of him i'd rather get rid of the baby then my dog he is my best friend

i cant imagine life without him now. Hes actually my only friend.
