Care Notes

Signaling to Go Out Cooper is good about nudging your arm when he needs to go out for a pee. However, keeping to the schedule should be sufficient for his bodily functions!

Independent Spirit Cooper is pretty independent once all his needs are met. He will frequently wander in and out of rooms and just sleep in various spots.

Belly Rubs & Pets Cooper enjoys being pet and getting belly rubs! He will frequently sit next to you hoping for some affection.

The Begging Eyes Cooper likes to "beg" for food by sitting next to you and staring intently. Do NOT give into his cute eyes! After some time, especially after dinner, he will wander away unless the food is particularly delicious.

Barking Cooper does not usually bark except when he is the only one at home and he hears noises. This typically happens when the garage door is opening or when going outside for a run. Otherwise, he is a pretty quiet, chill doggo.
