When a furry, short legged, cute 2-month corgi puppy walks into our life, its ignorant and curious eyes can instantly melt our hearts. The corgi Puppy at this stage is like a piece of white paper waiting to be described, full of infinite possibilities. A good training of the corgi Puppy at this period will not only help him develop good habits, but also deepen our feelings with him and lay a solid foundation for future company.

Understand the physiological characteristics of 2-month corgi puppies

The two month old corgi puppies are in a rapid growth stage, and their body and brain are constantly changing. At this point, their bones are still relatively fragile, especially their iconic short legs, which require extra care and protection to avoid excessive exercise causing damage to the bones. At the same time, the gastrointestinal function of puppies is not fully developed and mature, and their digestive ability is weak. Therefore, it is important to choose easily digestible foods in their diet to avoid gastrointestinal problems caused by food discomfort.

From the perspective of cognition and learning ability, the two month old corgi Puppy is like a small adventurer full of curiosity, full of interest in everything around, which makes them have a strong learning ability. But because their attention is difficult to concentrate for a long time, they should be trained in a short and interesting way, and the training time should not be too long each time, so as not to make them feel bored.

Fixed point defecation training

The fixed-point defecation training is an important part of puppy training. For the 2-month corgi puppies, the earlier the training starts, the better. Firstly, it is necessary to choose a fixed defecation location for it, which can be a balcony in the home, a corner of the bathroom, or a small area specially prepared for it. Lay pet specific urine pads in this area, which have a special odor that can attract dogs to come and excrete.

Observe the behavior of the corgi Puppy. When it turns around, sniffs the ground, and walks back and forth, it is likely that this is the signal that it will excrete. At this time, it should be immediately carried to the designated defecation site. When it successfully excretes at the designated location, praise and reward should be given immediately. You can say "great" or "good dog" in a gentle and excited tone, and give it a delicious snack such as chicken jerky, cheese chips, etc. Through this timely positive feedback, make it understand that excreting in this place is the right behavior and will receive the owner's love and reward.

If you find a puppy defecating in the wrong place, do not beat or scold it, because it cannot understand why you punish it. Doing so will only make it feel scared and confused. The correct approach is to pick up the excrement with a tissue, place it on the designated urine pad, let it smell its own odor, and guide it to the correct place. At the same time, it is important to promptly clean up the area of incorrect discharge and use specialized pet deodorizers to remove odors and prevent them from being attracted again.

Basic instruction training

The two month old corgi Puppy can begin to learn some basic commands, such as "sit down", "come here" and "don't move". When training to "sit down", the owner can hold a small snack and slowly move it up in front of the puppy. Its head will follow the snack and its buttocks will naturally sink. When its buttocks touch the ground, it immediately says "sit down" and rewards the snack. Repeat this action repeatedly, giving praise and rewards after it sits down each time, gradually helping it understand the meaning of the "sit down" command.

When training to "come over", first let the puppy play in a slightly farther place, then call its name and reach out to make a summoning gesture. When it runs towards you, warmly welcome it, praise it and give snacks as a reward. If it doesn't come immediately, don't force it, but guide it with more attractive sounds or toys.

When training to "don't move", have the puppy stand still and gently press its shoulder with your hand while saying "don't move". After holding for a few seconds, if it doesn't move, give a reward. Gradually extend the time of staying still and cultivate the habit of following instructions.

Social training

Social training is also very important for the 2 month old corgi puppy, which will help him get along well with other people and animals in the future. Bring it into contact with different people and animals, but be careful to choose a safe and friendly environment and objects. For example, you can take it to a pet park and let it play with other gentle dogs. During the play, it will learn how to interact and communicate with its peers, and also exercise its social skills.

When a stranger approaches, let the puppy sit quietly beside you, then guide the stranger to gently stroke its chin or back, and give it snacks as a reward to gradually adapt to contact with strangers. But it is important to observe the reaction of the puppy. If it shows fear or unease, it should be comforted in a timely manner to avoid startling it.

The 2-month corgi Puppy Training is a challenging but very warm process. Every time a puppy successfully learns a command, every time it defecates at a designated location, it is a small step in its growth, and also an increase in trust and understanding between us and it. Corgi puppies are the most lovely partners in our life. They give us endless joy and companionship. We should also use enough patience and correct methods to help them grow. Let's work together to make corgi Puppy grow up healthily in an environment full of love and accompany us through every beautiful day.
