About Me
You’ve heard of ‘A Star Is Born’ right? Well CCATS has our very own ‘Cooper’ who could just be our next Star.
Meet Cooper AKA “Hey Pest’ our February Dog of the Month.
Our Cooper, unlike the actor, is an enthusiastic and energetic Heading Dog, who has been with us here at CCATS for the last year or so. Cooper was a rescue pup and according to his human, agility runs in his family. They joined agility to “give the little workaholic a job” and because they both love learning new things. It’s no surprise then to see him tearing up the courses at training and recently taking home first place at his very first champ show.
Being very affectionate, Cooper loves to be anywhere his humans are, which is usually in the great outdoors of Aotearoa. When he is not out for walkies on the beaches, hills or mountains, you will find him napping away on the deck, mainly just so he can keep an eye on what’s happening on the street.
Back at agility, you will always find Cooper itching to get running and to tackle the jumps – his favourite obstacle because they don’t slow him down. On the start line he’s not the most patient chap – waiting and being still are HARD – and he’s known to whine like a squeaky wheel to tell you he’s ready! What a great communicator! Cooper’s next goal is building on his contact skills, and they are working doggedly (pun intended) so he is ready to take on a novice course. Congrats on your debut Coop and thanks for being part of our CCATS family.
