BEHAVIOR :

Coco came into our center on 4/16/2016 as an owner surrender. It is reported Coco has lived with other small breed dogs, playful and comfortable. It is reported he is housetrained to go to the bathroom outside. It is reported he is unbothered if anyone touches his Food, Toys, Treats. He reportedly knows the commands sit, stay, go, and eat. Coco allowed all handling during intake, wagging tail, relaxed body. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands during Look item, lip lick. Coco stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, mouth closed. He followed at the end of the leash playfully during Tag game, open mouth, wagging tail. Coco raised his lip and barked during first paw Squeeze, remaining item was conducted using Flank. He had no response to both Flank Squeezes. Coco showed no interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as owner reports he occasionally plays with chew toys. Coco approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, body relaxed. Due to his discomfort with his paws being touched, the Behavior Team feels Coco would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children.
