Koba (D2783)

Hi there! I’m Koba. I’m good looking, super active, loyal and clever. I’m a serious type of guy, looking to dedicate myself to someone who will love dog training and to enjoy outings with, including lots of active things together - like ocean swimming and bike rides (I’ll run along behind your rear tyre).

I’m great company. I love to snuggle up on the couch at night. And when your alarm goes off in the morning, I’ll jump in for a cuddle before you have to get up.

Being a solo companion for a lady would be my dream - I’ll sleep on the floor nearby, and make sure I’m facing towards the front door - as part of my job is keeping an eye on the place and making sure you’re safe. You can rely on me to bark if strange men come to the door. It will take me a while to trust any men in your life. Yeah, some of them are nice, and I do end up liking the nice ones, but I really, really like being attached to a woman. SAFE doesn’t usually get so specific but they just know that I was born for this. I’m not that keen on visitors - I’ll just stay aloof until I get to know them over time, although I don’t mind respectful child visitors. I’ll keep a watch out for them too, if they’re doing something risky, like swimming in the pool.

I’ll be fine at home while you’re out for the day, so long as I get my exercise in. Exercise twice a day makes me so happy - it keeps me calm and then I can focus my energy on ………. training!!!!!! Doing some training that makes my mind work would be just awesome. Of course I can already sit, shake hands (single or double handed, yeah!) lie down and my recall is awesome! My new learning goals are stay, leave it and my heeling could do with a bit of work because I get distracted by smells. Mind you, I do heel well when you’re riding, because I don’t want to be left behind ;) I’ll let you know when it’s time for our walk - I’ll grab my lead and sit with it at the front door. And when it’s time to come back home, if you hold the lead up and click it, I’ll come running and sit for the lead to go on.

I was attacked by a dog when I was a young fella - so I can be wary of other dogs. But with good introductions and other well mannered dogs, I’m fine. And when I’ve had enough of play, if the other dog won’t leave me alone, I’ll growl at them to tell them I’ve had enough and then I’ll remove myself. Sometimes I get really excited when I’m playing with another nice dog, and find it hard not to bark. Umm, and I do bark when I’m outside in the yard. But you can confidently leave me inside by myself all day and I’ll just chill.

A few hours in a plane is absolutely worth it for remotely located animals like me - it means we have the opportunity to be adopted. Flights to Perth for dogs are capped at $150 thanks to QANTAS, and I can fly elsewhere in Australia too.
