About Cooper

��%BD��%BD%90%BE Meet Cooper! ��%BD%9D%A4��%BD��%BD%8F 3-Year-Old Standard Poodle Looking for His Forever Home Cooper is a very loving, energetic, affectionate boy with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! He absolutely loves people, attention, playing, and being included in whatever you're doing. He's playful, outgoing, and always ready to make you smile. We often call him Tigger because when he gets excited, he bounces and prances all around the yard! His Personality & What He Loves Cooper loves being outside, running around the yard, playing, and getting attention. He absolutely loves people and enjoys playing with other dogs. He was raised as an only dog for most of his life, but over the last couple of months, he's been introduced to living around other dogs and has done beautifully! He's also quite the pampered gentleman! Cooper genuinely enjoys baths, grooming, being brushed and petted, having his teeth brushed, and even getting his hair blow-dried. He loves wearing sweaters, too! If you're someone who enjoys spoiling your dog, Cooper will happily let you. House Manners & Training * Fully potty trained. * Crate trained. * Knows sit and spin. * Understands the leash but needs continued practice with walking manners because he gets excited. * Does well inside the house. * Doesn't typically chew on shoes or get into things around the house, but may occasionally chew on things left within reach, such as chapstick or food. * Does not typically jump on countertops. * Loves children but can get overly excited and bounce around them, so supervision and continued work on calm greetings are important. Personality Quirks & Sensitivities Cooper can initially be a little shy around men, but he warms up quickly and may even end up choosing the man of the house as his favorite person! He's also a little timid around certain household and yard tools, particularly rakes, garden hoses, and brooms. He may initially flinch or become hesitant when these items are being used. However, he doesn't run away or completely withdraw. Once he realizes what's happening, he becomes more comfortable and will usually come right back around and stay nearby. A little patience and reassurance go a long way with him. Yard & Outdoor Boundaries One thing worth mentioning is that Cooper does not require a fenced-in yard. He currently enjoys being outside in an unfenced yard and understands the boundaries of his property. He likes to wander around his own yard, sometimes going from the backyard to the front of the house and around the cars before making his way back. He understands his boundaries when they're established and will respond to being called back if he starts wandering too far. His future owner should take the time to establish those boundaries in a new environment and continue supervising and reinforcing his recall, especially while he's adjusting to a new home. Grooming & Other Considerations Cooper does wonderfully with grooming and genuinely enjoys being pampered. As a Standard Poodle, he'll need consistent coat maintenance and professional grooming. He has not been around cats, so his compatibility with them is unknown. What Cooper Is Looking For Cooper deserves a loving home with someone who has the time, patience, and energy to give him the attention he thrives on. He would love a home where he can run, play, explore, receive plenty of pets, and be part of the family. He would do well with someone who enjoys having an affectionate, playful companion and understands that he may need a little patience and reassurance when adjusting to new surroundings. More than anything, Cooper needs someone who will love him, include him, spoil him, and give him the companionship he deserves. He's not just looking for a new house. He's looking for his forever family. ��%BD%9D%A4��%BD��%BD%8F
