1. Corgi’s body structure Corgi is a short-legged dog breed. Its body structure determines that it is easy to lie down, but difficult to sit down.

Corgi's legs and spine are short and thick, making them more stable when lying down.

To fully sit down, they need to bend their knees forward and move their hips downward, which is very difficult given the Corgi's body structure.

In addition, Corgi's restraining force (the relative external force exerted by the biceps femoris muscle to slide the thigh bone out of the socket) is also weak.

Therefore, when they try to sit down, the thigh bone can easily slip out of the socket, causing damage.

2. Corgi’s behavioral habits As a social animal, Corgi has a natural lying posture, which is a way to establish contact and communication between them.

In terms of personality, Corgi is also relatively independent and stubborn, and is not easy to accept involuntary training.

Therefore, getting a Corgi to sit may take more time and effort to train, and sitting is not necessary for them, so they prefer to adopt a more natural and relaxed tummy position to allow themselves to sit.

Feel comfortable and relaxed.

3. Influence of human factors. Many Corgi owners may prefer the prone position of Corgis, and may also give them some stimulation and rewards, such as food or toys, to encourage them to maintain the prone position.

The addition of this human factor may enhance Corgi's tummy and non-sitting behavior.

In addition, if the owner incorrectly uses force to train the Corgi to sit, it may cause the Corgi's body to twist and affect their health.

Therefore, the correct way is to train Corgi to sit down through positive rewards and encouragement rather than using forced training methods.

4. Corgi’s health problems As a purebred dog, Corgi also has its own genetic diseases and congenital defects.

For example, Corgis may have issues such as hip dysplasia, scoliosis, and disc hernias.

These issues may cause your Corgi to feel uncomfortable or painful when sitting down, so they prefer to stay in a prone position.

Your Corgi’s diet and exercise are also extremely important.

Owners need to provide Corgis with a balanced diet and moderate exercise to maintain their health.

At the same time, excessive obesity may also cause Corgi to have difficulty sitting down.
