Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke is primarily for me, Em Scheinman. My partner, Kellan, is an avid dog lover and will assist with its caretaking.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I am searching for a family dog who will enjoy spending time with us inside and being the center of attention, but I also am hoping for a dog that is high energy and can go out on adventures with us. I love that corgis can fulfill both of those needs, and I think that they are a great combination of high-energy and affection. I also enjoy dog training and am searching for an intelligent breed that can learn with me. I have dog-sat for corgis before, as has my partner, and we've both greatly enjoyed their big personalities. We have done quite a bit of research on the breed.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Long hikes, running, trail running and walks around the neighborhood/park. We currently run for about 4 hours/week and are increasing it as we train for an ultramarathon. We'd love to take a dog along for some of our training runs as appropriate for the dog's age and ability level. One of the reasons we are looking for a corgi is that we know they are quite active.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

 No

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: 		I would provide a timely, and firm "no" along with a correction of the behavior. For example, if the Pembroke was chewing on furniture, I'd say "no" and provide it with an appropriate toy to play with. Then I'd positively reinforce that they were chewing on the toy and not the furniture.

Discipline:
 I have had success with redirection, firm "no"s but no yelling, brief timeouts in another room, and positive reinforcement of good behavior. I think effective discipline will vary greatly upon the breed, but I would never yell, use physical force, or leave my dog outside as punishment.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In the house with us, free-roaming.
