Are you experiencing behavioral issues or considering surrendering your corgi? QBSDR is making the transition from INTERVENTION to PREVENTION by providing a safe environment to gain tools, knowledge, and information in order to set up both you and your doggo for success! QBSDR’s philosophy and methodology is relationship-based balanced training to cultivate a healthy relationship of TRUST and RESPECT between you and your dog. At the end of this workshop, we hope that you feel empowered and ready to work through the issues you are experiencing to keep your beloved corgi.
During the hands-on, two-day workshop (Saturday + Sunday, 9am-5pm, includes break for lunch) you and your corgi will learn the Fundamental 5 Rules and Boundaries that we implement for every single dog that comes through our rescue. Corgis are a working breed and need structure in their lives to thrive. Consistency is key so we do recommend all members in the household attend.
1) Doorway boundaries (polite wait at door)
2) Crate training
3) Polite wait for food
4) Structured, loose-leash walk
5) Reinforce calm behavior (this will also include the “place” command)
If your dog is showing signs of dog or human aggression, we ask that you take the time to muzzle train prior to attending to keep everyone safe. We suggest a Baskerville Ultra basket muzzle (size 2 for standard/smaller corgis, size 3 for larger corgis). This muzzle is readily available at most pet stores and online. We are happy to talk you through the muzzle-training process, just reach out and we’ll set up a time for a call.
