Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Brian and Jessica Doty

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	Use one of the discipline methods below as long as it is immediate. The dog needs to see the relationship to the bad behavior and the consequence. We would never hit an animal or withhold food. We would also forgive the dog after a short time.
Discipline:	Use a firm voice and say "no," don't give the dog attention for a few minutes, take away something they want, etc. Whatever method is chosen, the dog needs to be aware of the behavior that we are trying to correct, so the consequence must be immediate. It's also great to use positive reinforcement whenever possible.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In our living room.
