Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Applicant 1: Sandra Wong
Why do you want a Pembroke?	This might not paint me in the best light, but my first encounter with a corgi was when I was out for a run and accidentally love tapped a corgi who ran too close to me. I had my headphones in and all of a sudden felt something hit the back of my foot, turn around and see this little potato rolling around behind me. Horrified, I ran back to apologize to the owners and make sure the corgi puppy was okay. Just as quickly as it all happened, he sprung right back up and kept running around unfazed. It was the cutest thing in the world and from then I was obsessed from that day on! I'm an active person, love being outside, and constantly in motion, so an active corgi would be the ideal dog to be able to go on run and walks with to help get that energy out! For such small dogs, they have such big personalities and unique quirks. My boyfriend and I currently have a 4 year old corgi named, Pizzaschool. This is not a typo, the dog's name is actually Pizzaschool. He's a HIGH energy tricolor corgi and can be outside for hours before he gets tired. Since he is on the longer (XL) side of most corgi's we do have to be careful of making sure he stays within a healthy weight bracket, so we keep him on a healthy diet, take him on runs/walks, and make sure he get a lot of outdoor time to get out all that energy. He gets his weekly brushing and nail trims. It’s definitely a two person job, but everyone appreciates a well groomed corgi! When he was 2-3 years old, we had some obedience issues with Pizzaschool getting food aggressive with people. We did basic training classes with him but had one too many incidents and ended up taking him to a training who specializes in dogs with aggressive behavior. Since then, we are continuously doing re-enforcement training, e-collar training, and rewarding him for positive behaviors and opportunities where he doesn’t impulsively react aggressively. We’ve learned to understand his behavior and keep him under his thresholds. It’s been a HUGE transformation, but we do have to be mindful of what situations we need to monitor him more. It’s been a lot of work to get Pizzaschool trained up, but he’s such a great dog. Loves attention and most certainly more of a people dog. He’s very active, doesn’t bark a lot, and can also be able to wind down and cuddle on the couch at the end of the day! I would love another corgi to round out the family!
