This was a nice introduction to the corgi breed, and explained the differences between the Pembroke and Cardigan well. It had some good advice about the order of teaching commands and about how sneaky corgis can be (my Pembroke Welsh corgi puppy already managed to get through his puppy gate and sneak up the stairs and he's only 10 weeks old).
However, I felt the book was lacking in terms of information about the ideal corgi diet, especially the diet needed as a puppy. In addition, the book mentioned many, many times that corgis bark all the time, usually from hearing loud noises. Maybe my guy is the exception, but we've had him for a little over two weeks and I feel like he's barked less than ten times the whole time he's been here...and we have loud noises as we have a sun conure (type of parrot) that loves to scream during the day. It was a good book for some of the basics, but lacking in some areas. I do appreciate the corgi pictures!

I would say more of a "Corgis 101" than a complete guide. It could have gone into a lot more details in terms of training schedules or maybe nutrition plans. It was a nice short intro to corgis though to get a sense of what we should expect.

Great intro book to owning a puppy corgi!
Some books 📖 you have to read fast out of new corgi-puppy necessity. I read the first half just in one Saturday. I like that this book repetitive and easy to read with key recommendation:
- 😈 Be firm and consistent in your training, or the corgi will manipulate you 😏
- ⭐️ Pick the right reward, not just a treat, but praise and extra play time attention do wonders 🌟
- 👮♀️Respect’s is key in training, be the Alpha 👮♂️

I wouldn’t call this the “complete” guide. Most of the information is pretty basic and not breed specific. I was hoping it would cover reproductive care and it does not. Also it’s super repetitive.

There was some good information, definitely, but I felt that the good information could have been shared in about 40 pages instead of 134 pages. Too much repetition of the same information and not enough practical examples. Also, weird that the dog on the author's picture isn't even a corgi...

The book is repetitive, sounds like it was written by a child, and it doesn’t actually provide a lot of useful information. If properly written, the actual useful content of the book could’ve been written in a 4 page pamphlet. To top it all off, the author doesn’t even own corgis (see back cover).

If it's your first book on dogs ever, it's not that bad, but still quite shallow.
Minimum useful information on the corgi's as a breed.
