When we contacted Tina about getting a corgi, I asked for an outgoing pup who I could train and compete with in agility. I got all that and more. Freya always has a smile that she willingly shares with all she meets. Her exuberance makes her a favorite with her trainers, even when she is showing off that corgi stubbornness or deciding she needs a water break in the middle of her agility run.
Her big personality is something that we never expected, and she has us laughing constantly with the way she talks back and finds ways to communicate with us. Like all Midas daughters she is what you call “spicy” and is going to let you know what’s what! She is down for anything, as long as it is happening “right now”; a quick walk around the neighborhood with her grandpa, swimming in the river, training or a quiet snuggle on the couch (must include butt scritches or she will be seriously displeased).
Her training was at first something to do because having an indoor working dog meant destruction if we didn’t find ways to tire her brain as well her body. We started our journey with a few tricks and being in awe of the work Alyssa and Maslow the Trick Corgi were doing. I upped our training game and she shined. This girl loves to work and would pick up most tricks in a matter of minutes. Her motto is “almost anything for a cookie”. She quickly started picking up titles and is only limited now by her owner’s pocketbook and her irrational fear of non-carpeted floors. She currently knows around 120 tricks with that number growing.
Freya has since expanded her training and has started working in Rally, Barn Hunt and Agility with the main focus on agility. We are hoping to enter our first trial in summer 2022. Keep an eye out for more to come with the feisty girl!
