Cocoa likes to run up and down the fence line to play with the dog next door. Cocoa prefers to have her human family in the yard when she is outside. She will bark if left alone for too long. It is hard for a stranger to coax Cocoa out of her crate. Once when she went to the groomer, she would not come out of the crate until her owners came back to get her.
Cocoa is house broken and crate trained.
She knows sit and will come to you when she is in her yard or house. She pulls when walked on a leash. Her owner said that Cocoa is just too active for her family. They did not read up on springers before purchasing her and had no idea of the activity level of a springer. They thought that after a year, Cocoa would be content to find a spot and be comfortable.
