Who is this dog for?

 Keaghan (me) — a 24 year old who is very experienced with dogs and rescues. I regularly volunteer and animal shelter but I have always wanted a corgi.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 My aunt has adopted 2 corgis and I instantly fell in love with them. I have always been a fan of "adopt don't shop" so adopting a corgi has been like a dream of mine. I think they are so adorable and from spending time with my aunts I know how sweet and funny these dogs can be. From research, I also know that if they aren't trained properly they can have temperament issues (as any dog can). I plan on training this corgi and most importantly loving him/her as well.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would plan to walk him/her at least twice a day. If she/he were friendly with other dogs I would try to socialize him/her as much as possible with other dogs. I previously owned a dog that wasn't super friendly with other dogs so I am experienced with that but I would prefer a corgi that got along with other dogs. I would play inside with my corgi with toys and then also do training each day with him/her. I also live near the lake so during the summer I would take him/her to beach — even if they don't like the water we could just walk. I would spoil my corgi as well and maybe go for the occasional pup cup from Starbucks:)

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?

 Yes

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 plan to work with a trainer so I would reach out to them for advice. If my corgi was chewing on my shoes or something I would say "no", grab the shoe and correct the behavior with a chew toy once he/she was calm and present.

Discipline:
 I would use a bell for house training because this seemed to work in the past with my dogs. Ring the bell when you take them out to potty and eventually they start ringing it themselves. I would do a lot of corrective behavior techniques as well. I also plan to work on training with them each day for an hour. So just going through the commands "sit" and "stay" with training treats. I have also used a "clicker" in the past with other dogs so I would consider that as well. I also plan on working with a trainer so whatever advice they have for me I would listen. I plan to take him/her to obedience classes and puppy socialization classes.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 With me or In my apartment. I have a pretty spacious place. I would potentially crate train my corgi but whenever I am home I would leave my corgi out with me and (hopefully) work our way up to where I can leave him/her out while I'm gone. I do plan to take him/her with me most places I can.

People at home during the day?
 Typically yes. I work from home most days. There are a few days I have to work in the office, which is a 5 minute drive from my apartment, but I would come home at lunch time. My corgi would not be left alone for long periods of time.

Where would dog eat?
 Out of a dog dish that I would set up in my kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 In my bed with me:)

Play & exercise:
 I would walk my corgi at least twice a day — once before work and once after. I have friends who have dogs I would socialize my corgi with as well. If it were raining or something I would play inside with my corgi as much as possible. My boyfriend also have a large fenced in back yard I would let my corgi run around in and throw the ball.
