Dog Handling Tips: Tobi – 8 month old male Kokoni Terrier Cross

Tobi is an 8 month old male Kokoni Terrier Cross. Tobi is a rescue; whose mum is from Cyprus. He is currently living with his foster family in Burton Upon Trent. Here is a little about him: Tobi has settled well into his foster home in Staffordshire. He is currently living with 2 cats and 3 male dogs. Tobi is a lovely, playful and a very friendly small dog. He appears much bigger on his photos, but he is a little fella of very slender build with long legs.

He has been in his foster home for less than 2 weeks now, and in that time, he has been described as ‘the perfect house guest’. He is an angel through the night and sleeps like a baby, He has never got up to any mischief, has not chewed anything in the home that he shouldn’t, is as good as gold, and is house trained.

Tobi loves to play and enjoys snuggling down in a warm spot on the sofa. During Tobi’s short life, he has picked up some very cheeky habits whilst out and about on his walks, or quite probably, he simply hasn’t been trained on how to behave whilst out on a lead. In a quiet area Tobi is beginning to walk calmly and behave well, with little pulling. Add any distraction to the mix and Tobi is a very cheeky little monkey and gets over excited, wanting to rush and say hello to everyone and everything. If they ignore him, he will give a little yap to say, “I’M HERE! please say hello”, wanting to jump up and give kisses. It is lovely that he is so friendly, but he needs to learn some ‘doggy manners ‘ and continue with his training, just as you would expect with any puppy joining your family. Training won’t be hard, as Tobi loves his food, you’ll be surprised at what few tasty treats can do.

Tobi is ready to find his own family who have a safe garden for him to play in, perhaps a doggy companion for him and space on their sofa for cuddles. He has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
