Coco is a 5-7 year old female Border Collie cross who was brought into Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in August 2006 by her previous owners. Although initially a little aloof, Coco turns into a giggly, affectionate girl once she has built a bond with you. She likes to be heard and seems to enjoy the sound of her own voice! Coco was referred to the Behaviour Unit  in order for us to investigate her behaviours towards strangers and this has been worked on by the team. Coco has quite a complex manipulative character and needs owners who will not be pander to her demands.   Coco is looking for:

• Owners who have experience with breeds such as Collies or German Shepherds


• Owners who have had dogs with strangers issues before and dealt with complex, manipulative characters


• Potential owners will need to be patient and be prepared to listen to and take advice from the Behaviour Unit and follow any ongoing training programs


• Coco can be very vocal so neighbours will need to be considered


• A semi-rural or rural environment with a garden is essential for the beginning and continuing of any training


• Coco will need to be rehomed into a multi carer, adult household without any children due to stranger reactions


• Coco cannot live with other dogs due to her possession issues  

Coco is an older lady who is already quite set in her ways. She is quite active for her age and is looking for owners who will appreciate her larger than life character.Coco is at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home London. Please call the Behaviour Unit on 020 7627 7884 if you are interested in Coco or email us on [email protected] and quote ref 2006/03987 Coco will need some further training in her new home. To receive advice and guidance regarding her training from the Behaviour Unit staff that have worked with her, potential owners should be prepared to come into the Dogs Home for a minimum of two visits.
