Welcome Cooper on this fine Veteran's Day!

  

Today we assessed young pup Cooper. He is a very handsome, three month old, ten pound, black colored, Miniature Schnauzer. This little guy was eager to try something new, hence visiting us here at The Fort. Cooper hung out in our Little Roll and did just ok, after all, he is very young and new on the scene. Once he got to meet the other pack members, he was excited to play and socialize with them, yet he was bit held back by his need for "human attention". Cooper did however chase the ball around during "ball time", and did interact with the other dogs some... He even showed off some great "play bows".

In order for Cooper to thrive at Fort Fido and at a home, he is going to need a consistent routine and strong leadership. In no time at all he will be an adult canine, and we all want him to become a calm and well balanced one at that! Cooper is on the cusp of a battle with the dreaded, Separation Anxiety, yet, he can get through it, especially as his owner does the needed work to help him through it. Be well Cooper, we'll see you again soon.

Have a great Veteran's Day, thank you to all who have served!

Take care,

-Grant
