Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke would be for myself! My dream dog is a Corgi and would ideally like to adopt one rather than going to a breeder

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I want to adopt a Pembroke Welsh Corgi for many reasons. The first is, I think they are the most adorable breed! It's really embarrassing but I have a ton of Corgi calendars and random trinkets around my house without having one, so it's definitely a dog I've wanted for a while. I love their size (perfect for my small house) and their fluffy butts. 🙂 Second, I love the nature and temper of the breed. The Corgis I've interacted with from Wag! walking and friends with them are that they were well-mannered, energetic and intelligent, yet a little sassy at times which I appreciate. I'm also a very active person (love walking and running outside) so I enjoy that they're athletic and not a 'lazy' breed.

I've done quite a bit of research on the breed to familiarize myself with what living with them would be like. It sounds like a good fit based on my living situation in Chicago.


Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walks along Lake Michigan, local dog parks (there's several in Chicago), play fetch (if the Corgi is into that)

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		I suppose it depends on what the mistake is, but in my experience it's important to be calm yet assertive — and address the mistake immediately to avoid creating bad habits.

Discipline:
 A couple negative re-reinforcement methods like time outs and withholding rewards, but I've learned that positive reinforcement goes a long way in creating good habits — like praise, treats and toys.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In my home! And when I am home, either hanging out with me or getting walked outside.
