Corgi Training -- November 1, 2021

Queen Elizabeth has seven Corgis, a particularly good sheep herding dog, known for their short legs, big upright pointed ears, and independence. The latter is not necessarily a selling point.

My youngest sister has one Corgi, named Tucker. Tucker is a bit of a handful, to say the least, and after several years of putting up with him, my sister finally hired a "trainer." I'm told the trainer is from the UK and knows the Queen personally. Apparently he was in/on the national SWAT team and assigned to provide decontamination services for the royal family in a biochemical attack situation. 

Anyway, my understanding is that the training started at 0900 hours this morning, or 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time somewhere near Flathead Lake, MT.

My sister said the trainer departed after about an hour -- the first lesson was scheduled to last three hours -- but was nice enough to leave his training manual behind -- see photo below -- if the family was interested in pursuing further training at some point in the future.
