Collies -Cooper and Sunnie looking for Caring New Owners

Cooper is a 4 year old neutered black and white medium coated collie. He came into our care from his own home as he would jump at the children grumbling every time they entered the kitchen and would sometimes nip at the back of their legs, he would also do this to visitors. He did live in a busy household which he obviously found difficult.

Cooper was recently homed but was returned the following day as he found it difficult to settle and did display displacement behaviours, toileting in the home, nipping at owners arms and clothing and chewing soft toys.

Cooper is a nervous boy and can get worried if approached suddenly. He requires an owner with a knowledge of dog behaviour and someone that can read canine body language so he isn't put in situations he finds difficult. He has met different people (strangers) whilst in our care and because done in a controlled way he has been fine.

He needs a quiet home without children or frequent visitors and someone that is willing to travel to our centre on more than one occasion to visit him.

In his original home Cooper was housetrained, was good when left alone various hours, responded to all basic commands and travelled ok in a vehicle. He can be reactive to some other dogs when out walking but if introduced correctly is fine but will need to be an only dog

Sunnie is a 2 year old neutered tri coloured short coated collie cross. He came into our care from another rescue after being found as a stray. He then spent two days in a home but was returned as he urinated on four occasions in the place where the previous owners dog used to lie. He is a friendly boy and should be fine living with children over 6 years old, he loves to play with toys, is good with other dogs, is crate trained and travels well in the car.
