About Rocco

My Size is: Expected to be Medium-Large as an Adult

Hi, my name is Rocco!

I'm a young pup looking for my very own forever family. The world is still a pretty big place to me, and sometimes new things can feel a little scary, so I'll need a family who understands that I like to take things at my own pace. I'm still learning my manners, so I'll need some training and gentle socialisation when I'm ready. With a little patience, lots of encouragement, and plenty of treats (I won't say no to those!), I know I'll grow into the best boy I can be.

The earlier we learn our foundation behaviours like sitting, polite greetings, and walking nicely on lead the more prepared for life we will be as adult dogs. Puppy training classes will be an amazing resource to help set me up on the right path in life. I need to be indoors and will need your help learning where is appropriate to toilet. As I am exploring the world I will mouth, rip things, dig, and jump. It is your responsibility to help me learn what you would like me to do in a positive and fun way.

When it comes to other dogs, as I am only a young pup, I have not met many dogs outside of my littermates yet. It is important you take me to force free training to learn appropriate dog interactions. If you have cats at home, please talk to the RSPCA team about the best way to introduce us! If you think you will have the time and patience, and the ability to provide me with everything I need then maybe we could be the perfect match.
