A question about my welsh corgi?

Question

My corgi and I are at war(don't laugh) seriously. We are fighting over who owns whom.  He is just getting outrageous misbehaving. It all started when he was a pup he's five now. We went through two sets obedience classes he passed both. I don't know whats wrong he comes when he feels like it, he sits when he feels like it. Whats changed is I have gotten another dog a pit bull(please don't stereotype shes a sweetheart) I am in no way training her to be vicious. As far as she is concerned teeth are for eating only. We found her at 4 four weeks she is a year now. Mason(corgi) is corrupting her. When I give her a command she will actually look at him before she does it. seriously If I tell her to sit and he leaves the room ...shes gone. Today was the last straw. I was taking them for a car ride they love car rides it was people further up the block and shiloh(pit) loves to play so I leashed her before I opened the gate taking them straight to car, Mason for some unknown reason ne never has done this runs his overweight bunny butt down the street I don't know what he was thinking he didn't try to attack the people I think he just wanted to be petted or something but I was yelling at him no no and he kept running! I felt terrible he hadn't scared them but it showed a lack of control over my animal in public. What needs to happen? I love them both(my babies)

Going to an obedience class is an awesome way, to build your Leadership Role with your dog.  You may also what to look into clicker training.  Don't allow your dog to get bored.  And be sure to walk them daily, this will increase the time you are telling the dog what to do.  Dog's learn through association and introduction, so if you socialize them with the ideas of when you say how you say, you will see lot's of changes.  Also, monitor how you feed your dog, only allow them 25 to 30 minutes to eat if they do not pick up the food until the next feeding this way they look to you for when they get fed.  Hope this helps.

JODI- Cardigan and Pembroke welsh corgi's were bred for cow herding not sheep.

Sounds like Mason is winning. With two dogs you are staring a pack. So you must be the pack leader. Start with simple exercises such as you walk through doors first. If they are not getting enough exercise give them more. At the age of five and two basic obedience classes and Mason did well in both classes maybe you can stimulate him more with a more advanced class. How about trying some sheep herding with him. He is a corgi and that is what they are bred to do. Give it a try your dog will not only release himself but I am sure you you will enjoy it also.

You need to go back to basics with him. Get his respect. If he walks off, correct him. If he does the trick, give him lots of praise. Take him back to obidience class if you have to.
