Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself. I have been looking to give an adult or senior corgi a home for companionship.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Pembroke corgis are beautiful dogs, and I love their strong and independent nature. My family has always owned herding dogs, so I am used to this personality. I understand that corgis are often very active and high energy, but that is why we are hoping to adopt an older adult to senior corgi who may be starting to settle down. We have done quite a bit of research on the breed to make sure they would fit in our lifestyle, and we believe we would be an excellent home for a corgi.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Go on walks and hikes, trips to the dog park, road trips, etc. An overall adventure buddy. We would further plan activities depending on the age, and energy levels of the dog :).
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

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	With calm, assertiveness to let the dog know that they did something wrong. Also, the best time to let the dog know they did a mistake is while the mistake is happening, if possible. Otherwise, the dog could be confused. I read an article that says: “Any type of correction must be enforced only at the time of the infraction. This means you should verbally correct your dog while he is in the act of grabbing your shoe for a good chewing, or during the destruction. The BEST time to scold is when he is grabbing your shoe — the dog will know you’re disciplining him for interacting with the shoe at all, which should be off-limits to him.“
Discipline:	By the method described above. Positive reinforcement is the best method to show the dog the correct behavior. If the dog is not doing the correct behavior, saying the same command such as no or tsch (like the dog trainer Cesar) will register within the dog over time that the behavior is not right.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Inside with me, however we do have a yard that the dog can run around in.
