Choo Choo's Story

Welcome to Camp Cocker, Choo Choo!<br/><br/>*Choo Choo is being fostered in the Los Angeles Area.<br/><br/>He was rescued from a puppy mill by our partners, Cocker Friends Korea.<br/><br/>Nothing will make this little guy happier than to settle into his new furever home. We hope that can happen for him soon!<br/><br/>**Choo Choo's Fosters Have a Lot to Say**<br/><br/>How is Choo Choo with people?<br/><br/>Choo Choo has exceptional social skills and absolutely loves people. Even with strangers, he greets everyone warmly without fear. When he sees people, he often rolls onto his back immediately for belly rubs and affection. He enjoys petting and physical affection, though he is still learning how to actively ask for cuddles or kisses himself. Occasionally he gently licks people to show affection.<br/><br/>How is he with other dogs?<br/><br/>He is very social and curious around other dogs. At dog parks he generally does very well and does not cause problems. He is still learning how to properly play with dogs but always wants to greet and interact. Early on, he occasionally attempted mounting behavior with certain dogs, but if the other dog showed discomfort, he stopped immediately. He has never mounted the fosters resident dog.<br/><br/>He tends to ignore minor drama or reactive behavior from other dogs and stays cheerful and carefree. However, if another dog aggressively challenges him first, he will confidently stand up for himself instead of hiding. Because of his playful energy and excitement, he can unintentionally annoy other dogs by bumping into them or rushing ahead. Currently, sit and wait training have helped reduce excitement around food and treats. He is not afraid of large dogs and remains relaxed even when other dogs nearby become excited or reactive.<br/><br/>WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PUPPY MILL DOGS:<br/><br/>Puppy mill dogs need very special adopters patient people who will be understanding that potty training may be a very long learning curve.<br/><br/>Force-free training is the only way to go; these dogs are already so fearful, and they need kindness, not a dominant alpha approach.<br/><br/>These dogs will be extreme flight risks, so a home with no children is safer in terms of entrances and exits being 100% controlled by adults only.<br/><br/>Most of these more timid dogs will need a home with another confident dog to help show them the way. Typically, puppy mill dogs are dog-friendly!<br/><br/>*Please note that any age provided is only an estimate, based on veterinary examination.<br/><br/>Follow #CampCockerChooChoo
