Who is this dog for?

 for the applicant

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I love Pembroke Welsh Corgis because of their intelligence and inquisitive nature. I appreciate that they were bred as herding dogs. And I truly love their social nature and affinity for humans, other dogs and animals. I enjoy that they are sweet, gentle-natured but also need a lot of enrichment and love to play. I especially love how affectionate they are. I appreciate their affinity for food and would make sure to treat them within reason so that they can stay at a healthy weight for them. I have a soft spot in my heart for dogs, especially Pembroke Welsh Corgis and I would love to be able to love, spoil (with toys) and care for one of these wonderful corgis.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 -Go to the dog parks nearby
– Walk by/Swim in the lake near my apartment (Depending on their preference for water and ability to swim)
-Snuggle
-Go for car rides
-Play tug-of-war, and other games
-Chase each other around
-Go to the vet when necessary
-Learn new tricks
-Doing some agility training
-Socialize with other dog friends and humans

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?

 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 try to prevent this accident from occurring again by using positive reinforcement when they are not performing this behavior. I would never use negative reinforcement training. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian and I know that animal behaviorists know that dogs don't understand or feel "guilty" for something they have done wrong. This is why I believe so strongly in positive reinforcement training.

Discipline:
 -Distracting the dog from the negative behavior
-If they are being destructive separating the dog from the item they are destroying and trying to get at the root cause of why they are doing that behavior (trying to see if maybe it has to do with unresolved anxiety)
-Saying "No" and then asking them to sit or perform a command in order to take their mind off that behavior
-This wouldn't be considered discipline but when they are not performing that activity then I would reward them.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 They would spend most of their time in my apartment or outside on walks or playing. But the bulk of their life would be in the home with me.
