Learn dog body language
While our canine companions can’t speak to us verbally, we can learn a lot about what they are saying through body language.

Though we don't have a Boy Named Sue, we *do* have a boy named Cooper!
Well, my name is Cooper, and while I might not be dressed in black just yet, I sure know how to make an impression. This young Kelpie cross boy is all legs, all enthusiasm, and about 90% noodles. Like any country music legend in the making, he's still learning the ropes and needs a family willing to help him find his rhythm.
Cooper is a very food-motivated lad, which means training sessions are music to his ears. He'll need some work on his general manners and lead skills, but with consistency, patience, and a pocket full of treats, he'll be ready to headline family adventures in no time.
As a typical puppy, Cooper is currently moonlighting as a tiny land shark. He's still learning that human hands aren't chew toys, so he can be a little mouthy during play. Because of this, we'd recommend a home with older children, though we'd be open to discussing younger kids with a family experienced in raising energetic working-breed puppies.
When it comes to canine companions, Cooper is a social butterfly. He gets along well with other dogs and would happily share his stage with either a male or female canine friend.
More than anything, Cooper is looking for a family who'll let him grow up as part of the band. He wants to be included in daily life, learn new things, and have plenty of opportunities to use that clever Kelpie brain.
If you're ready to help this little ring-of-fire starter become the best version of himself, Cooper is ready to walk the line right into his forever home. 🖤🐾🎶
