How to Take Care of a Corgi | Things You Need To Know About Corgis

[@candacerocks99]

So typical of her not wanting to go down the stairs once she felt it was "your Idea" to go down them!!! Corgi's love to do things on their own terms, they have that your not the boss of me mentality for sure! Great video! Just love this breed of dog! Cute, loud, feisty, smart, stubborn, short, and almost always food driven like me!!! That's why I tell people my Corgi Shiloh is my spirit animal! :-)

[@devonandwillo]

Yessss you nailed the corgi description on the head 😂 They are such fun dogs

[@heyjude6818]

I like how you put the video outline on the description, that’s really helpful when I want to come back and rewatch a certain part 👍🏽

[@taylorerickson7289]

I brought my corgi puppy home at the end of may and watching your videos/following your IG was a huge factor as to why I decided on the breed!

[@devonandwillo]

Ahhh that makes me so happy! I hope everything is going well with your pup! I miss when Willo was a puppy haha

[@keiannaraee949]

Most Pembroke Corgi’s have tails when they’re born and get them docked a few days later. Love your content by the way, I’m preparing myself when I hopefully get my Corgi puppy in the fall/winter.

[@devonandwillo]

I had a whole rant about that filmed and then just ended up cutting it out 😂 But thank you!! That's so exciting!

[@blue-wn9hz]

im considering getting a corgi as a service dog!! (tasks like retrieving things and alerting to my disability) i think honestly a corgi is perfect for what i need help with because it gives them lots of stimulation and a task!! i also am mobile enough to give one walks, and taking them out not only to be a working service dog but lots free time as well like walks, and going to the park

[@LindaKashner]

I have a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. I have said many times she would make a good service dog. They are super intelligent and naturally inclined to learn new things. On the downside, they are short.

[@LindaKashner]

❤ my Cardigan! So fun.

[@jessicagoodsonnix9205]

I thought I was one of the few people who called their fur corgi glitter! Lol we are on our second corgi! My first one lives with my mom now cause she fell in love with him.

[@callmesid2778]

Whenever I move to California I’m getting a corgi once we settle in! I live in NY right now and I don’t think it’s best time to get a pet since In Cali I’m moving into a pretty big house so my corgi could run around a play! I’m gonna spoil my corgi a lot for example getting lots a toys and my corgi gets a full on giant play room! Can’t wait even tho it’s a year away I’m getting ready so I know how to be a good pet parent! My mother has had lots of dogs in her life so she knows how to take care of them, her recent dog lived up to 14 years! I found your channel best out of all! I love the way you treat Willo! I got a year or less more to learn!

[@mattm5826]

I dont have a corgi. Condo association wont let me get one. This channel is holding me over while also torturing me with cuteness. Thank you for you content as some of us can only look from a distance. She looks like an amazing life companion

[@destyneestarrkent8388]

I'm bringing my Corgi mix home on October 5th and these are really helpful! My baby has her tail and I think it adds to her cuteness! Her mom is a Pembroke Corgi while her dad is a miniture Australian Shepard but she's gotten a good mix of genes from both so I'm excited to see how she looks as she gets older.

[@darlenebennett9684]

Where did you get your Corgis mix?

[@robertcuminale1212]

I had a Corgi/German Shepherd mix and she was a real sweetheart. She looked like a Shepherd but the legs gave her away. She had the most beautiful bushy tail. What I loved most about her though was her personality. I have had two purebred Corgis and the sweetness is very obviously a part of their DNA.

[@craftycrafter1960]

We are bringing home a 3 month old Welsh Corgi in two days. We will be feeding her raw food as we have all of our other pups we have had. No issues I am concerned about over feeding though so will be monitoring how she goes. Raw has no fillers so far less allergic issues too.

[@maritapanganiban6740]

Hello Devon. I have been thinking of getting a corgi and your video really helps a lot. Still look forward to watching for more. You guys are so cute.

[@Iconoplastt]

Great tips, i've been through all the above with my corgi! Willo's a good girl!

[@Jeongins_phonecase]

Recently a run away corgi came to out house and i have no idea how to take care of one. Thsi video helped me alot

[@DanIsInsane]

Very big reminder that Pembroke Corgi's also have tails. They were removed because of working in the fields and farms, but most of them don't actually do that work anymore so removing them is cosmetic and abusive. Yes you can find Pem Corgi's that have been selectively bred to to not have a tail but then they don't survive super long and have a litany of health issues. The reason it is illegal most places is because if you Corgi is doing no farm work then there is literally no reason to remove the tail.

[@anutterfool8577]

[@alphatheory4668]

Really nice video ! Though just wanted to clear out the fact that Pembroke Corgi can have long tails aswell, i know in the US most of them don't , but there's actually a lot of them that does ! Just depends on genes :)

[@hailelephants]

Hi Devon! I absolutely love your videos, they're extremely informative. I'm about to be a corgi owner myself. Quick question on the trimming of the nails, does this need to start immediately at 8 weeks?

[@devonandwillo]

The sooner you start the easier it is to get them adjusted to it. I didn't start Willo at at 8 weeks but if I got another puppy I would start desensitizing them to the dremmel at 8 weeks! just do things like give them treats for touching the dremmel and for being calm around it when its off and on!

[@LilitheAmara]

The alpha thing is a little strange. The naturalist that published the "alpha wolf" paper has since retracted it and updated the information on wild wolf pack behavior. But behavior is important for pets so whatever works for keeping them safe without hurting them is great. Lots of good tips. Hopefully one day I will have another corg

[@rosemaecuvin3292]

Hi Devon!! We're getting our corgi in 3 weeks and your videos help me get a general idea on what a corgi needs..i guess..my question is..in the span of 1 year what are important trainings you did for Willo?

[@devonandwillo]

Ooooh this is a great video topic idea but I'll give you a few things I can think of off the top of my head! Definitely things like teaching them to wait (before eating) teaching them leave it, place (or go to your bed), sit, heel (walking next to you on a leash) and setting overall boundaries for them! An example of boundaries would be not letting them past a certain point in your house before you open the front door, not walking through doorways before you, etc

I've got her 10 yrs but I'm.going to lose her soon, she has 2 cancer tumours not sure how long I've got with her but I'm going to make the most of it with her..shes not in any pain. Best 10 yrs of my life with her. When ready I will get another pembroke corgi from.a proper breeder. Give willow a big hug & kiss from me she is so cute. ♥️♥️♥️

"...still going to fall out all over your floor." LOL truth

[@gaya2081]

I feed my corgis a high rated kibble. They get 1/2 cup twice a day, total 1c a day. The kibble recommends 1 3/4 cup a day! Its like that on all food I've ever fed my corgis. People seem shocked when I tell them how much my corgi weighs (32lb) vs my corgi/border collie mix weighs (26lbs). Both dogs get the same amount of food and maintain their weight on that.

So we compromised and I grill chicken and mix it with a bit of high quality kibble and canned food. We think she's part Corgi and Chihuahua. We rescued her when she was 11 years old. Regardless, she's still in good health. Thanks for all the good information.

Hi Devon! Thank you so much for your informative videos. I became a corgi owner for the first time about a month and a half ago. He's now 9 months old. He is very active and jumps up on everything! People, couches, high beds! Any tips on how to stop all the jumping? Im worried he's doing damage to himself in the long run. Thx.

[@devonandwillo]

Ahh yeah that's rough! Do you have stairs for the couch and beds at all? I know they would prefer just to jump and he's a puppy so he has a ton of energy... I would just work on training him not to jump off and on high things by rewarding him with treats. At his age he's probably fine but the more you work on it the less he'll do it :)

Hi Devon, I love your videos and love Willo! I’ve been considering getting a corgi for many years now and the only thing I’m wondering about is whether you find that Willo smells like dog often? I know breeds like golden retrievers get very smelly very quickly due to the oils their bodies produce, but I’m wondering if corgis are similar? So far what I’ve found on the internet seems to be contradictory so wanted to ask you and anyone else here who owns a corgi if they think the breed is particularly smelly? Thanks!

I know their tails are removed normally but I saw some breeders saying about dewclaw removal.. I’ve read it can cause more issues.

[@Pessimiist]

Hate to break it to you, but both corgi breeds are born with tails (except a few that's being born with a short tail, but it's unusual) and the puppies gets their tails docked when they're 2-5 days old. This is illegal in a lot of countries and I think that we should all spread the awareness about the fact that they actually have a tail, so that people can be aware of how their puppies gets treated at the breeder.

Nipping is just something they do as puppies and for the most part you have to wait until they grow out of it, but freezing toys like kongs and other rubbery toys is a good way to keep them busy. Also a whole frozen carrot with keep them busy for a while and give them something to bite on!
