My Corgi started barking around 9 months and he is now a 1 year old. He barks and howls very frequently now. He used to never bark at other dogs outside while we walk but now he does. Is this a phase? Is there a way to make him stop?

Corgis are known for their superb watchdog abilities. This often leads to barking at what we think of as nothing. Try ignoring the barking. Do not yell at your dog, or he may think you are barking, too. Do not say "it's Ok, there's nothing there" or something to that effect, as he may think you're praising him. Talk it over with a dog trainer. Corgis learn very quickly.
