Who is this dog for?

 Lauren Tracy

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I would love to adopt a Pembroke Welsh Corgi because I not only love dogs, but I believe a Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed is a wonderful companion. Although I have never owned a Pembroke Welsh Corgi myself, I have done research on how to best take care of them, and I have spoken to friends who do own a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I have seen how loving they are, and how much happiness they bring to a home. I love that they are happy, sensitive companions, and they love to be a playful part of the family. I also believe I am equipped to take care of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi because I have researched the best way to take care of a corgi, and I am committed to continuing to learning more to be the best owner I can be.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would love to take my corgi for walks around the numerous forest preserves, as well as socializing my corgi at the local dog park. My friends have dogs that love to be social, so I would like to set up a standing doggie play group with my friends and their dogs. It is important to me that my corgi stay active and moving when I am, and that would include bringing my corgi with me whenever I can.

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 the Pembroke makes a mistake, I will ignore the incorrect behavior (or mistake), and only reward the correct behavior with praise and an appropriate amount of treats. I feel this is the appropriate and best way to train a dog because it associates praise and positivity with the correct behavior.

Discipline:
 The method of discipline I use with a dog is repetition with associating praise and treats with the goal behavior. I believe it is important to establish trust and respect with my dog, and this leads to reinforcing positive behaviors as a method of discipline. This includes ignoring or trying not to acknowledge the incorrect behavior so that my dog learns that in order to gain the praise, my dog should listen to me and follow the commands that I give.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 My Pembroke would spend most of their time with me at my apartment.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 I live alone, but I am able to come home during my lunch break in the middle of the work day since I live 10 minutes away from work.

Where would dog eat?
 My corgi would eat in a designated spot in the kitchen/dining room area of my apartment. I would make sure to set up a space large and centralized enough so that the corgi could access the food and water easily.

Where would dog sleep:
 My corgi would either sleep with me in my bed, or on a dog bed that I would buy. I would make sure that the dog bed would be located in a great spot for naps during the day, but I would love for my corgi to sleep with me at night!

Play & exercise:
 I will make sure to provide my corgi with multiple opportunities per day for play and exercise. I plan on morning and afternoon walks after work, as well as weekends playing with other dogs and going on fun adventures to make sure my corgi is living their best life. There are many places to walk on leash near my apartment, and there are areas for off-leash play as well. I am eager to give my corgi the best, most playful life I can.
