6 year old "Spud
Bud" has been in a special training/foster home. His
foster mom described him when he came in to CSRNE as constantly on
the move, possessive of his toys and food, terrible on a leash and
untrustworthy around cats. But Bud is a very smart cocker and as
he learned to trust his foster mom, he made rapid progress. He's
learned that his food and toys will not be taken away from him,
and that its more fun to play with his foster mom and sit in her
lap than to be possessive of a toy.
Bud has learned that he can
trust his caregiver and that the rules are always consistent and
fair-and that his favorite cookie is a great reward! Bud's foster
mom feels that he is ready for the right home. He is a high energy
boy and loves to retrieve his toys in a big fenced yard. He is
very responsive to training and should definitely be enrolled in
classes with his new owner.
Dogs like Bud need to learn
how to please their owners and earn their praise. Bud has also
learned to play with other dogs but cannot be trusted around cats.
Bud's foster mom will spend lots of time showing his new owners
what he has learned and will stay in close touch after his
adoption to make sure he has a successful transition into his new
home. Bud should be placed in an adult only home with someone who
is willing to make a commitment to continued training and have a
fenced yard for him to run in.
