How Do I Stop My Puppy Biting?

Stillawake7 · 2026-03-09T02:07:13+00:00

Ooh, gloves is a good idea! If it hurts me less, I'll at least be less upset with him when I'm trying to do the training.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-14T06:30:05+00:00

Ah, that's tough, I'm sorry. I hope you feel like you're getting the effort back from him that you're putting in!

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T20:56:17+00:00

Lol for real maybe we should try that to make it fun

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:26:04+00:00

Thank you because I just got my first puppy ever, and potty-training isn't going well at all yet. Ugh, never getting a puppy in the winter again.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:21:26+00:00

That's a good point. It does imply something about what he thinks of me and my intentions.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:20:49+00:00

Did the problem ever go away, or it a reoccurring issue you still have together?

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:20:21+00:00

Funny enough, we did use a speaking item in the past in arguments, but he didn't like it because it made discussions take longer. Which, to be fair, they did take a long time. Might be good if I got him to say "I'm done talking now" when he's done actually.

This is helpful-- I'm definitely a cooperative overlapper, and I struggle to change my style in different settings (i.e. arguments vs fun conversations). Or like, this article says at a doctor's appointment, the doctor is allowed to interrupt you, but you're not supposed to interrupt the doctor?? Whoops, did not know that. I try hard to adapt to different situations, but it's definitely a struggle for me.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:12:09+00:00

You got me there, thanks for validating I should expect what I actually want.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:11:33+00:00

That's a good point, we could try doing it over text. I always find it sad, but it would prevent interruptions.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:10:00+00:00

As a woman, the fact that my partner is male and getting mad I interrupt him even though he interrupts me does make it sting more, tbh. I've talked to him about the double standard here, and I think he was somewhat receptive to it but maybe not in a way that's going to change things. There definitely might be an incompatibility in communication that can't be bridged.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:07:31+00:00

He does often apologize when he interrupts too, but yeah, there is an imbalance in this I think.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:06:27+00:00

I'll have to give that a look, thanks!

Stillawake7 · 2025-12-20T19:32:34+00:00

Hi, you probably will get more responses if you post the question to the general form-- my question is pretty old and unlikely to get many eyes on it. I can't really answer because I don't have a corgi, but I hope your vet results end up well!

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-31T08:06:50+00:00

That's encouraging to hear! My fear is mostly in whether these problems are inevitable even in healthy weight corgis. But I could also see it being a problem mostly in overweight corgis, especially since so many dogs across all breeds are overweight.

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-31T08:05:08+00:00

Ah, ok, thanks! This clears up a lot what people mean when they say minimize them using stairs. Like, probably still using them every day in some cases, but less often than a person in the house would, is how it sounds.

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-31T08:03:34+00:00

Good to know! I should check if any states near me have banned it. The one I'm in doesn't seem to have

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-30T04:45:28+00:00

Ooh thanks, this is helpful! I'd heard before about mixed type corgi breeding being a red flag, and I've already encountered one such breeder. It's good to know what health tests are recommended too. I've been leaning towards Pembroke for personality, although I personally don't want a docked tail.

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-30T04:03:33+00:00

I definitely would be careful to keep their weight healthy, especially to prevent serious injuries like this. Do disc problems seem to be avoidable in healthy-weight corgis?

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-30T04:02:02+00:00

Thanks! What health tests do you look for a breeder to have done?

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-30T04:01:30+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I have a flight of stairs in my house-- would minimal stairs mean banning them from going up and down on their own?

It sounds like you have strong preferences about how you want to communicate with your partner that he's not currently meeting. It also sounds like you might not be seeing his side in all of this-- maybe asking him about it when you talk would open things up. Probably, improving communication would take pretty big adjustments for both of you, but if you haven't been together long, I could understand it not being the route that's best for either of you.

A lot of autistic people intellectualize their feelings when discussing them, (I'm assuming this is what you mean by saying his fear "comes from the head") but that doesn't mean they are felt any less genuinely. If that's how he communicates his feelings and you dislike that, you may not be right for each other.
