KateG@ESSW Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Coco @ ESSW Age: 3 Sex: Male Location: Cornwall Can be re-homed with children: No Can be re-homed with cats: Unknown Can be re-homed with dogs: Yes Neutered: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yees Tail: 3/4 Dock Coco was not well socialised in his puppy home. He developed lots of habits associated with frustration, such as guarding toys, shadow chasing and possible fear aggression. Although he has been in a new home for a year, he has continued to have these habits laying dormant, and occassionally rearing to the surface. On the plus side he is a highly energetic dog outside- has good recall and general obedience, and gets on really well with other dogs. He adores the outdoor life. Indoors he can be really affectionate, but he still has not really learned how to calm down and relax. More importantly, he is still learning that humans are not to be feared. His foster mum is working hard on this at present with the ongoing help and support of a behaviourist, who has met him. We all feel Coco is a wonderful dog who deserves a chance to live a normal, happy springer life, but he is not a first time owner's springer. This dog would be like buying a Ferrari having just passed your driving test! Sparky is looking for a home where he can have another very lively springer for company, with owners who are prepared to put a lot of work in to his ongoing rehabilitation, and teach him lots of new things also. He has been to agility and seems to have enjoyed this. He is very intellegent and mischievous. He has never shown any fear or aggression towards another dog or children, but is obviously not suitable to be rehomed in a family who have children of any age.
