Pembroke Welsh Corgi training will normally cover two main parts: basic training, and competition/activity training. Basic Corgi training is important to make your new dog and your family members all comfortable with their new relationship.
Before an owner ever receives their Pembroke Welsh Corgi it should already have good breeding, and have started some early socialization with the breeder. It is important that you ask the breeders questions and observe the interaction with his or her other dogs and animals. You may also want to ask what kind of tasks the other employees do during the day with the animals. Good breeding and socialization is important so that your dog is not over protective, which is a common negative trait with the Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
Basic Pembroke Welsh Corgi training needs to cover nipping tendencies and aggressiveness towards male dogs along with its basic obedience training. The Pembroke was a breed of dog that was originally bred as a cattle dog that would nip at their feet and bark. It is possible to train the dog not to do this but it will definitely take patience and consistency in your Pembroke training. When training a Pembroke not to be too aggressive make sure you don’t turn it timid and frightened but that should not be a problem with this breed.
Crate training is a good idea if the dog will be alone for several hours a day. It will give your Pembroke Welsh Corgi a safe place that is theirs when they would like to be alone. Also if you’re going to be away at work or whatever make sure the dog has food, water, and newspapers.
When training your new pup it is important to use positive reinforcement, not negative reinforcement. Praise will work much better than abuse. With a well-bred, and well-trained Pembroke Welsh Corgi you will have a great new addition to your family.
