14 Options For Playing With Corgis

Are you a Corgi parent, or have you recently gotten yourself one? You are probably excited to spend time with them and proudly introduce them to the world! The best way to do that is to play with your Corgi, especially if you got them as a puppy. There's nothing they love more than playing with you. By playing with your Corgi, you can quickly gain their trust and exercise their minds and bodies.

This article will give you a few fun activities that you and your Corgi can have fun and strengthen the bond between you two.

#1 The game is the only way to establish friendly and good relationships with the dog, but in addition, the game is a great way to train, especially for puppies and young dogs.

#2 If the child teaches the dog some tricks, it will be funny, and at the same time useful for both of them: for the child and for the dog. The simplest game “Give Paw!” Feeding a paw is a gesture of submission, so the exercise is psychologically beneficial for the dog. Start practicing the exercise when the dog is sitting. Command “Give a paw!”, Carefully take a dog’s paw and shake it. Then release immediately. Praise the dog as much as possible!

#3 “Die!” The child says: “Die!” and points a finger at the dog. The dog turns on its back, paws up. If she loves when her stomach is scratched, she will be easily trained to carry out the command “Die!” This is not only very funny, but, in addition, for the dog it is another pose of humility. If the dog demonstrates submission to your child’s team, this is great for the dog and can serve as an indicator of good behavior.

#4 “Apport!” In the game “Apport!” you throw an object, and your dog brings it back to you. Some dogs love this game, while others love it less.

#5 “Hide and Seek!” What fun this is for everyone! Let one person hold the dog, and the other is hiding at this time. As soon as the second person hides, you say: “And where … (name)? Look for (name)!” and start walking around the house with the dog. At first, the hiding person may make some noise to attract the attention of the dog. As soon as the dog finds him, everyone should praise her and say how smart she is.

#6 “Seek!” This is a variant of the game of hide and seek, but not with people, but with objects. The easiest way to start the game is with your favorite dog toys or with a treat (cheese). Let your friend hold the dog, and in the meantime, put the toy or treat in full view at a distance of several meters from it. Go back to the dog and say: “Where is the cheese? Look! Look for cheese!” Then release the dog. If she immediately rushes to a treat – everything is fine. If not, bring her to him, point to him, and then praise the dog.

#7 “Tugs or who whom” (little puppies are not allowed) You can play with a grip, a wand, any toy. In parallel, this exercise can be used to correct behavior: in a dominant dog, the toy at the end is taken after the “give” command; on the contrary, it is given to the unsure dog. Exercise is suitable for developing grip.

#8 “Select item” In front of the dog are several items whose names she knows and a new one to learn. It’s worth starting with two: the famous and the unfamiliar, and asking the dog to submit the named item.

#9 “Search for things” The dog is first shown the item and hidden in the room. Then you can call the dog (for the impatient, which is practicing endurance, it is better to go and bring her into the room) and give the command “look for”. You can let her smell the smell of a thing, for example, your hand.

#10 Games in the garden. Grab a treat or small dog biscuits and walk around the lawn, scattering them as if you were feeding chickens. At this time, let your dog watch you, sitting on a leash, or someone holding it. Quickly return to the dog and command: “Look!”

#11 Faster Run. Stand next to the dog, holding her collar, say “To the start – Attention – Marsh” and let the dog go, they break into a run. The dog will immediately follow you. Who quickly reaches the finish line and well done.

#12 Most Corgi love balls and various ball games. You can play the game “Look for the ball”, lost somewhere in the fallen autumn leaves or snow.

#13 Despite the fact that Corgis really like to play, it cannot be said that this is a hyperactive dog that constantly requires an increasing load. Quickly enough, your Corgi will get tired and settle down somewhere to take a nap or just lie quietly and gnaw a toy.

#14 Welsh Corgi Pembrokes are dogs that know how to truly enjoy life. It seems that these cute dogs just do not know what the spleen and bad mood are. Communication with the owner, walking, and even work – all the dogs give pleasure. Their smiling faces, full of enthusiasm and optimistic look can not leave anyone indifferent.
