Your corgi is doing his job….herding. They are used to herd cattle and nip at the heels of the cows.

I have a male corgi who does things like this when he thinks it’s his job to enforce the rules. Your corgi seems to think that a rule is being broken or something is not right by the swinging. when my corgi does this I tell him it’s OK he doesn’t have to worry about it.bi pet him and tell him to go lay down and reward him when he does. I use a very calming but in command voice voice to do it if he thinks that Everything is OK and I don’t need his help, he’s fine. My husband thought this was crazy and that I was just rewarding bad behavior. He thought he should be punished and put into a crate. Whenever my husband would put him outside or put him in a crate his behavior would get worse. When I used the calm voice telling him it’s OK and showing him I was in control, in command and the alpha dog, he got better. He is now much better. We have three corgis,mine other two are girls. The girls are not aggressive but they will alert when something is different and get out of control if our routine is changed. I use the same calm voice and tell them it is ok, that I don’t need their help and to go lay down. When they do it (not always – the girls are more willful) they get a reward.

Your dog is doing his job.

Corgis were bred for herding, I mean not to sound offensive but it sounds as if you might not have done enough research about corgis.

Herding comes natural to them and although they have great tempers it’s risky to have then around younger children to run around, swing, etc due to their herding origins. Yes they can be trained not to do so however that would be the same as buying a guard dog breed and then training it not to guard.
