Tom asked:
He usually doesn’t go in for a bite…very very rarely he will. And thats if we are doing something that he doesn’t like. But we introduced a new puppy to the household, and he’s been getting a bit nastier. How do we break him of bearing his teeth and growling? I’m sure its an alpha male thing, and I think we waited too long to get him neutered. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

A little training and discipline goes a long way. If you aren’t capable of that, hire a professional trainer. There is NO excuse for this kind of behavior.
Neutering has nothing to do with being an ***!!!! You let him get away with behaviors that you did not count on manifesting and now they are bothering you. Put a leash and collar on him and the next time he even thinks about biting you, string him up…all 4 feet off the ground, and hold him there til he tells you he has had enough.
Start on an effective obedience program that is based on traditional methods, not this positive only crap!
Hope I helped.
lol, you don’t. Corgi’s are known for their ..mean spiritedness
It’s not too late to get him neutered. People always say, oh, blahblah, neutering has nothing to do with behavior, but in my experience that is hogwash. I convinced my parents to neuter their 12 year old lhasa and he had a huge attitude adjustment – it didn’t make him perfect, but his behavior improved a lot.
Unneutered male dogs (and to a lesser extent unspayed females) are much more likely to be territorially aggressive. Fact. It’s not impossible to train them out of it, but it is much more difficult.
You shouldn’t put up with that, get a dog trainer. I’ve had a lot of corgis and they are always very sweet tempered.
yeah he thinks he’s in charge of your pack, just get some advice on dog obedience and whenever he gets aggressive don’t get angry just be calm and put him in a ********** position until he calms down. I also recommend you don’t let him on sofa’s, bed’s and chairs the leaders of a pack always have the high ground and if you have it they must respect your space, and if that doesn’t help you could go as far as not letting him upstairs that’s what we do with our dogs. The last thing is don’t treat one dog better than the other because that will cause aggression.
