Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Both my fiance and I.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We both personally love the breed. We want a small dog that is outgoing, but can be relaxed at times. I love that this breed of dogs are loyal companions and family friendly because that is important to us. We haven't had many experiences with the breed, but we have done research and we feel like we would be able to handle a dog that needs daily exercise.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We would take him/her on walks around the university campus and go to the dog park to run around and play. We would give our corgi lots of love and affection! Our parents both have dogs and we enjoy playing and snuggling with them!

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	We would redirect behavior to the desired outcome and positively reaffirm with praise or a treat. We are willing to learn other best practices on how to handle this situation as well!
Discipline:	Reward based methods have a positive affect with Pembroke Welsh Corgis. We would give our corgi a treat after obeying commands, however during the first stages of training our dog needs to understand that we are the leader and not the other way around. We are both very interested in learning best practices in training our corgi as well.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	At our apartment home as well as getting exercise outside in the neighborhood.
