Coco

My story

Coco is a gorgeous English style lab who loves people! Let me just start by saying, don't let her size throw you, this girl is full of spunk and it just a happy girl. She seeks attention but is also good with being on her own. Last night she put herself into her crate at 9 pm and stayed there all night. What we know: - House broken - Potty Trained - Knows sit, down, stay and her name - Crate trained - we have left her during the day, in her crate, and no issues with SA, she just sleeps - Loves kids and all people! - She doesn't like her ears cleaned and will go hide in her crate -She's afraid of the vacuum, also hides in her crate - Afraid of the shower and hose So needless to say, this girl needs some help learning every day things don't need to be scary. She needs work in these areas: - The leash, She's reactive and being 114lbs, she's strong and will pull hard. We walk her to and from school every day, so she's around kids, bikes, scooters etc. She reacts to other dogs, the rest she ignores. Foster Update: Coco is amazing in the house, crate trained, funny, adorable and full of life. Her challenges are on walks, when we encounter other dogs. She is in training for her leash reactivity and we are doing everything we can to learn new techniques to help her through this with her. She is making progress but still has a long way to go. She does require a prong collar with strongly timed corrections. She will continue to be a management dog for as long as she needs. Her future family will have to understand what is required in order to manage her on walks. At this moment, Coco cannot go to a dog park or dog beach, we have faith she can eventually get there, but this is not the dog we have right now. Coco needs patience, consistency and a strong leader. We want to set both Coco and her future family up for success.
