Bobby the Cockapoo: Settling into his new home

Bobby, a 2-year-old Cockapoo, from Staffordshire, found his forever home just 2 months ago and according to his new owners, he is adjusting well to his new surroundings, although it will take some time for him to fully settle in.

Excitement and Barking at the TV

One of Bobby’s quirks is his tendency to bark at the television. Whenever he sees something exciting or interesting on the screen, he can’t help but let out a few barks. While this behaviour may seem unusual, it is not uncommon for dogs to react to moving images on TV. It’s possible that Bobby sees the movement as a form of play or perceives it as a threat. With time and training, his owners can help him understand that the TV is not something to be concerned about.

Round and Round in Excitement

Another behaviour that Bobby displays when he gets excited is running in circles. Many dogs exhibit this behaviour as a way to release excess energy or express their excitement. It’s important for Bobby’s owners to provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to help him channel his energy in a more productive way. Regular walks, playtime, and puzzle toys can be great outlets for his enthusiasm.

Bobby

Overall, Bobby is a happy and energetic Cockapoo who is gradually settling into his new home. With patience, understanding, and consistent training, his owners can help him overcome his barking at the TV and find more appropriate ways to express his excitement.
