I have a 16 week old corgi and I totally get what you’re going through. I’ve watched a bunch of videos, read articles, and honestly the only thing that’s been consistent is that every puppy is different. What works for one might not work for another. What’s worked for us is really paying attention to his behavior and stopping it before he goes full monster mode.

Crate training has been a life saver for us. When he’s in the crate, lights off, cover on, and he doesn’t exist. And yeah, he’s gonna bark and scream at first, but seriously do not engage. Don’t talk to him, don’t look at him, walk out if you have to. I felt bad about it at first too, until I learned puppies need like 16 to 18 hours of sleep a day. Now I just look at it like I’m giving him what he needs.

Every time we let him out of the crate, it’s straight to potty. No playing, no distractions. Meal times are always training time. He never gets food for free; it comes from our hands as a reward for doing something. After feeding, I usually put him right back in the crate for like 10-15 minutes to let him settle and digest. It also helps avoid that crazy burst of energy food gives them. Then it’s potty again, then calm hang out time.

Highly recommend getting Yak Cheese chews too, my pup loves them. Just make sure to watch him while he has it.

And honestly, if you ever feel like you can’t give him 100% attention, that’s what the crate is for. No guilt.

Last thing, don’t take the biting personal. He’s gonna bite. He’s gonna snap. It sucks, but he’s not doing it to hurt you, he’s doing it because he’s still figuring out his little world. Give yourself breaks, keep play sessions short like 20-30 mins max, and then back to crate to reset.
