Please don’t be mean. It’s an honest a true post. I just really need some good positivity that it’s just normal. I have a 4 almost 5 month tri boy corgi. He was the calmest one in the litter. I had a corgi mix for 14 years that was cuddly and calm. But I had gotten him from the pound at 1.
My puppy is absolutely a land shark spicy loaf. Sometimes he has brief moments of cute and calm cuddles. But most of the time he tugs on the leash, barks super loud when we eat or at people when they don’t pay attention to him. He bites when he plays.
I have him in puppy classes. Walk him often for 10 mins. I take him to open events like farmers markets and just walks around town. I feed him with a combo of puzzle feeders and training. I say good boy the moment he stops barking to try and calm him. I play with him often being I’m remote working at home. I crate him for forced naps. I try a lot that people say here on Reddit because I do care and want him to be a good boy badly.
But I’m so exhausted.. I feel the puppy blues badly. Please tell me it gets better.. that your corgi puppy was just like this and now as an adult it’s better. If there’s ideas or gaps where I can get better owner for him please share. I love him dearly. I want the best for him. And I want myself and husband to be happy and our puppy to be a lovely dog.
Again please don’t be like “well you should have known better” I just want help and support not to feel even worse than I already do as an owner. I just feel like I’m failing.
