The two other Corgis I’ve had in my life were rescued as adults. They were food motivated, which made training easy. This is also my first puppy ever.
From what I’ve heard and experienced, Corgis have a big appetite. My puppy, Cricket, doesn’t seem food motivated. I’m curious if anyone else has a Corgi that isn’t food motivated? Or maybe this indifference is something she will grow out of?
I got Cricket two weeks ago. She is 13 weeks old today. She doesn’t seem too excited about food. It’s not making training any easier. She kind of grazes throughout the day. She’s not eating close to the amount the bag of food says she should be eating. A lot of times she eats because I’m moving the food around and making it exciting. I’m not too worried that she’s not getting enough because I can feel a normal amount of ribs, and she poops at about four times a day. She’s seeing the vet Thursday for and check up and her second round of shots.
She came with Royal Canin and was very meh about that. I tried Orijen and she was meh about that as well. She’s been more excited about eating Wellness Core for about a week now.
Luckily she came mostly potty trained. She’s solid on peeing outside, but pooping not so much. I’m not sure how to positively reinforce when she poops outside. She doesn’t get excited about treats. “High pitched happy voice” doesn’t seem to do anything either. She enjoys chewy stuff like rawhides, but I don’t know how that will help me when it comes to other training.
I would love to hear everyone’s experiences.
