Max is a 2 1/2 year old chocolate working type cocker with white on his chest. He needs a new home as his owner's family commitments mean that Max is left far too long home alone. Max is a nervous dog who is initially scared of everything and everybody. He cowers away from people until he gets to know them. Our behaviourist and kennel staff have been working with him and he is  now looking for an experienced and patient home. He is OK with the older children that he lives with but he needs a quiet home away from visiting young children. He has no cat experience and will hide behind his owner when he meets another dog when out walking. He pulls a bit on the lead and hasn't had much experience off lead. He travels well in the car and can be left for short periods.
