As herding dogs, Corgis can sometimes be more interested in everything else around them rather than you. Maybe they would rather bark at everything they see than sit calmly on the couch. Or maybe they try to chase everything that moves while on walks, instead of peacefully walking next you with their attention on you. Strengthening your bond with your Corgi can really help them want to listen to you more, which will make it easier to solve these behavior problems. Not sure how to do that? The following are three ways to strengthen your bond with your Corgi.
#1 – Learn Your Corgi’s Language
What better way to improve your relationship and deepen your bond than to understand your Corgi better? In order to do that, you need to learn how they communicate through body language. Dr. Sophia Yin’s website has a host of free body language posters that can help you learn to speak “dog,” which your Corgi will greatly appreciate.
#2 – Training
Not only does it make them a better housemate, training will strengthen your bond with your Corgi. When you and your dog train together, you are learning to communicate with each other and that goes a long way to great a lasting bond. As long as you keep training fun and engaging, it will help you strengthen your bond.
#3 – Play
Play is an easy and fun way to bond with your Corgi. Any game she enjoys is fine, just as long as you’re doing it together! Agility trainers encourage play with their students because they have found it creates dogs that listen better and work harder for their owners.
