Cochise is a gentle soul dreaming of a peaceful home where she can relax and be loved. She's a sensitive 6-year-old, 74lb girl who wasn't thriving in the busy shelter environment. Thankfully, she's been spending time at a quieter offsite location with a rescue partner, where she's really starting to blossom! Cochise walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys calm strolls. While she's not overly toy-motivated, she absolutely adores treats and gentle pets. She's also incredibly obedient, sticking close by your side and even enjoying a bit of playful trotting. Cochise is a quiet, tolerant, and gentle companion who is learning to trust again and cherishes naps and cuddles with her safe people. She was briefly in a home and proved to be an affectionate couch potato who was well-behaved when left alone. Cochise forms deep bonds and truly deserves all the love in the world.
Ideal Home
Cochise would thrive in a calm and loving home where she can relax and feel secure. Due to past experiences where she exhibited resource guarding of human attention around other dogs, she will need to be the only pet in the household or have a dedicated safe space away from other animals.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Cochise may guard human attention from other dogs. To ensure her success, it's recommended to establish firm, consistent boundaries and seek guidance from a qualified trainer for safe management and redirection techniques. When other dogs approach, calmly remove the "resource" (your attention) by standing up and walking away if she shows any signs of guarding. It's also beneficial to divide attention equally among all pets and reward calm behavior when other dogs interact. Practicing "stay" and "place" commands can help her learn impulse control and patience when attention is shared.
