Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	My 14-year-old daughter and I would like to adopt a Corgi. We own a house but are moving due to a job change and separation. We can provide a stable home in an apartment. We will be looking at a unit that accepts small dogs. We won't be ready to adopt until we are settled in our new apartment in August.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	My daughter has her heart set on a corgi. She has high anxiety and would benefit greatly from a dog who she could love and play with. Corgis are small and playful and we think it would make a great pet.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We are both very laid back and rarely away from home unless we're going to softball games, to visit family, to the park, or on short road trips. We would bring our dog with us when away from home. It would be confined to a crate during the day for safety, and once it was used to the home and could be trusted, it would have free rein of the home from about 7:30-3:30 during the week.
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

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	First of all, I would ensure I didn't make a mistake by placing it in harm's way or letting it be in a position it shouldn't be in. If it did something wrong, I would firmly say "No!" or make a "tskk tskk" sound for emphasis and remove it from the situation or immediately place it in the appropriate position and redirect it. I would use positive reinforcement to reward positive behavior. I would NOT put it in a crate as punishment, hit it, deny it food, or scare it.
Discipline:	I use firm, consistent direction and positive reinforcement. I redirect quickly and gently. I would use formal behavior training if necessary. I might yell "No" or make a startling sound to help the dog associate bad behavior with a negative reaction, but I would not hit it, neglect it, or take away its basic needs.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Our corgi would spend its time with us when home or on the road for softball games and practice or in a crate if not properly house trained. Once trained, it would be loose at home during working hours, from approximately 7:30-3:30.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	No one will be home during the day.
Where would dog eat?	The corgi would have food and water bowls in the kitchen and eat with us in the house.
Where would dog sleep:	The corgi would have a dog bed on the floor, but would also be allowed to sleep in our beds AFTER it was house trained. Before then, it would sleep in a crate.
Play & exercise:	My daughter and I will take it for walks and play outside during mild weather, otheriwse we'll play indoors. We would bring it with to softball practices and games at the park, where it would play with other children and dogs. We would bring it to the lake at Lake Ottowa, and find dog parks. We would also introduce it to both of my sisters' dogs. One has a maltese puppy and a yorkshire terrier. The other has a chihuahua who is very friendly. My estranged husband has a golden retriever who is also very friendly. If the two dogs react well together, they would be able to play as well.
