You are probably wondering why we put Corgis into this category, although if you are Corgi owners, perhaps it is not strange at all. I have never owned a Corgi, but over the 40 years that we have been fitting Corgis to carts, I know that they are different! I love them, but they are stubborn and independent! These are not bad traits, but when you are trying to help improve their quality of life by giving them mobility aid, it can be frustrating to see them refuse to move, other than when you offer them treats. It has been my experience that when you place a Corgi into a K-9 Cart, it just stands there and looks up at you as if to say "Well, if you think I am going to try and move in this, then you are crazy!" They will lift up their hips if they are able, or hop along - anything to escape the support of the leg rings. Once they realize that the cart is enabling them to roam around again, so they can travel from A to B without stumbling or falling, then everything is wonderful!
You always need to set the cart up with the "walking" option in place if there is any feeling in the hind legs and finally PATIENCE is the key to successful cart use.
Of Course having said all this, you will probably put your Corgi into its cart and it will trot off as any other breed - Murphy's Law!
