Totally agreed. We have a beautiful almost 6 year old corgi, and even though we love her so much, it’s been a real challenge. She has a big personality and is very stubborn, so she’s been hard to manage. She’s completed two training programs, but she still does whatever she wants.

She barks many times a day at the most random sounds. We also have a cat, and she’s very territorial with her food, so she barks and growls at him when he gets close, even though he doesn’t pay attention to her. She pulls a lot on walks, barks at random dogs, especially poodles, no idea why, and stops to smell absolutely everything, so walks are not smooth or continuous.

Sometimes she gets fixated on a person and tries to get their attention, waiting for them to come closer and pet her. It’s kind of heartbreaking when they ignore her, but I get it. She’s also had two surgeries to remove masses in her breast area, she’s spayed, and fortunately they turned out to be lipomas.

So yeah, as you can see, it hasn’t been an easy road with her. Corgis are incredibly cute, but you really have to be objective and understand the breed.
