About CoCo

Great little dog, does have possession issues. (Cant take stuff out of her mouth, she may bite) we are working with a trainer on that.. Yet perfect to groom face, play with. Completely housebroken. Spayed, up to date on vaccines. 16 lbs. Crate trained. Ok I would like to add more information as I have had way too many people interested to possibly get back to. Coco is 3 years old. many have asked that and not sure why its not seen.. Her family is a older husband and wife that just never said no to her.Wonderful people.Loves her. She walks on a leash, will be groomed etc but when trying to remove something from her mouth can get extremely upset. and will bite, hard. It can be made much better with the right training and family. I would say at this time no little kids, age enough to understand they cannot remove or try to remove something from her. She is in my foster home, a vet tech,that has worked with possessive aggressive dogs and know what 'I' do to make things better.I say possessive aggressive because I have found nothing else she is aggressive about. other dogs dont bother her, unless there is food involved. So she now has rules to live by and I enforce them. If we are going for a walk, I have her heel. If we are going out a door, she is to sit and wait till I say she may exit, or enter.Sounds terrible I know, but when raised with certain established conditions, it translates into a much more well behaved dogs and same bad behavioral issues sometimes go go away. They know whats expected of them and don't make up the rules for themselves. I expect her to listen to the guidelines I establish.Many of you will not do that and although she will be perfect at first, if she has no structure her tendencies to be allowed to do whatever she wants will get her right back to the situation she is in. I feel strongly about that and know about the push back for only 'positive treat reinforcement' If that works for you , great. I DO use treats, but at different times, getting her to lay down, absolutely, coming to me, yes.Anyway. Now that I have given more information feel free to retext me again. I am deleting all that have responded and am not going to answer any that just say they want her.Tell me your situation please, and maybe any experience with a dog that may be like this. Sorry maybe I should have written more to begin with , but did not expect a thousand people wanting this great little dog.As far as a re homing fee, I will discuss a donation to rescue me with you. If you can't afford anything then dont email or text me. Dogs cost money every year for a visit, and vaccines, heartworm and flea stuff, never mind if they ever have a problem. so plan on it being about that. Thank you
