Who is this dog for?

 I am looking to adopt a corgi for myself. I am a single 26 year old living in a studio apartment. I have had two dogs in my life that sadly, eventually past away from old age. I had a small Yorkie to a 150 Lbs Newfoundland so I understand the importance of training and keeping a dog active for their safety, the safety of others, and their overall health.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have done research on the breed and understand their active and “barkative” nature. From the research I’ve done I feel like a corgi would be a good match to my own personality.

I have the time and resources to dedicate myself to the corgis training. I enjoy projects and would very much like to use my time for training.

In addition, my lifestyle would be conducive for a Corgi. I enjoy being active and healthy as opposed to going out at night. For this reason I would be able to take a Corgi with me on most outings.

I’ve had experience with different size and temperament in dogs. I know the importance of training and have had experience leash training dogs as well.

For these reasons (in addition to their cuteness) I know I would be able to love and give attention deserved to this bread.


Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I enjoy walking a lot and being outside as much as possible. I’m a firm believer that giving your dog proper exercise everyday will extend the life of a dog. Thankfully I work from home full time so multiple walks a day is possible. Occasionally I enjoy hiking, but the level of difficultly would affect if the dog would go.

From the research I’ve done, I’ve learned that Corgis are food motivated and can be trained using training treats. I like to fill up my day avoiding screen time and using my time for fun training and agility with a pup would be great (depending on the dog’s willingness).


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: 		If I catch a dog making a mistake I try to either distract them with something else or use a firm, but not screaming noise that associates them with a bad behavior.

Discipline:
 I use positive and negative associated words and sounds. Good behavior can be rewarded with a training treat or a positive word association. Mistakes or bad behavior would be a lower toned negatively associated word.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Most of the Corgi’s time would be spent either in my apartment or outside when possible. Winter weather would require proper gear for the dog, but those activities outside would not change so long as it’s safe for the dog.

I occasionally take road trips to see my parents. It would depend on the dog’s comfort level to either ride in the car with me or stay with a sitter.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 No but now work from home (even after Covid).

Where would dog eat?
 The corgi would eat in the apartment. Most likely near the kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 The corgi would sleep in the apartment. I ideally would like to crate train, but if that’s not possible then I’m happy for the dog to sleep on the floor with a dog bed (I understand they shed).

Play & exercise:
 I really would like to take the Corgi on a long walk in the morning and evening, with an afternoon walk in between. I live right next to Lincoln park so there are plenty of places for us to go.

I also enjoy the project of training or giving the Corgi opportunities to get out energy with training. From previous pets I’ve had I have found great toys and products designed to get energy out of dogs when they play.
