Who is this dog for?

 Myself

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I love corgis!! I think corgis are really great breeds because they are smart, willing to be adventurous and have special personalities (even the sassy guys!). Aesthetically, I think they are so cuddly and stumpy, and I just love them! I am a small person, so a small dog is a right choice for me. I have done a lot of research on the breed because I know they can be strong-willed and I want to know how to best take care of them in the way they need to.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I like walking and hiking, so walks would be a daily activity for us. I have a few dog parks in my area, so playing fetch and socializing with other dogs is something that I think is important for a dog, as well. In addition, I live close to a doggy daycare, so I will most likely taking him/her while I am at work a few times a month. I know corgis are pretty social, so I want that to be a big part of his/her life. I also like going to dog-friendly events, so that is something that I would like to do if he/she is comfortable with groups of people. If not, I don't mind tailoring my social activities.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 Yes

Vet contact info:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		It depends what the mistake is! I know with corgis you have to be calm and assertive and you need to have their respect. I have used a clicker before to refocus behavior and I have used diversion/ ignoring if he/she is doing something I would like them not to do! I never believe in yelling/hitting. It's not healthy for anyone to be treated like that!

Discipline:
 Positive reinforcement is something that I think works best for behaviors, however, when they do something naughty, I plan on doing redirection. If there is a behavior I do not know how to handle, I have no insecurities about asking my vet or an expert!

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Mostly at home or in the surrounding area! Most of the time, he/she will be at my apartment and on our grounds, but I would like to enroll them in doggy daycare a few days a month while I am at work.
