Who is this dog for?

 For myself. My household contains 4 grown sons and myself. We are very much homebodies. We enjoy daily walks and weekly trips to the dog park but will not be super active. We have a moderate sized fenced yard. We currently have no other pets in the household. I have lived with at least one dog companion my entire life and am missing the companionship of a friend since my previous pup passed. We do not currently anticipate getting more than one dog, but would like that option left open.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have owned, or been owned by, two corgi mixes in the past. I love that this breed is smart and trainable. They are very attached to their companions. They are 'protective' of the home, but mostly in the 'hey someone is at the door' sort of way. They can be a bit barky, but are willing to learn better manners. They tend to be cuddle bugs which is especially nice on winter evenings. They tend, as youngsters especially, to enjoy a bit of mischief. They like to be the center of lots and lots and lots of attention. Unlike many breeds who have become popular, health issues do not seem to be exacerbated in the corgi.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Frequent walks, at least daily. Dog park outings at least once a week. Run errands around town. Hang out around the house and play when there is a desire. Camping in the summers with short day hikes. I have trained and handled therapy dogs for work at school and retirement homes. I enjoy this, but not all dogs are suited to this and I am not not specifically looking for a therapy candidate. My current school allows therapy animals only from one program so this pup would not be eligible to work at school with me.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?
 Yes
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: 		Depends on the 'mistake'. If it is an accident in the house that's on me. I need to be aware of their need and schedule outside trips frequently. If it's chewing that is usually a sign of stress or boredom. I would try giving them more challenging activities during the day like puzzle balls or toys if it looks like they are bored or try to figure out what triggers anxiety if that is what I think is happening. If it's anxiety related then alter or change the environment to reduce the triggers and make sure they have a safe place to go to when stressed.. If it is a behavior that needs better manners – jumping on people, excessive barking etc. – then training and consistency of praise for proper behavior is appropriate.

Discipline:
 Training for expectations with lots of praise for appropriate behavior,
A verbal no or leave it when out and about.
Really in my experience disciple isn't super effective, training with praise and positive reinforcement is a far better approach.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 At home, lets be honest I'm a home body. However, I want to be able to go for walks in the neighborhood, go to the dog park, run errands around town, visit friends and go camping in the summer with my furry friend in tow.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Generally speaking there is at least one person home during the day (with 5 of us it sort of is inevitable).

Where would dog eat?
 Assuming I can resist treats, and let's be honest I can't always, my dogs usually have had bowls with food and water in the kitchen. I feed to schedule or open grazing depending on the dog.

Where would dog sleep:
 OK my dogs always end up sleeping on my bed. I provide a dog bed and a crate if the dog prefers, but pretty much everyone just defaulted to my bed.

Play & exercise:
 Play you say? Why sure anywhere anytime. would love at least one daily walk by my furry friend, runs and hos at the local dog park as able, roaming the backyard for general exploration purposes.
