Why Choose a Larger Cobberdog?
When selecting a Cobberdog for companionship, therapy, or assistance work, size can make a meaningful difference. Larger Cobberdogs offer not only a calm and affectionate temperament, but also a range of practical benefits that support both everyday life and specialised roles.
🌿 Grounding Presence – Their steady, calm energy provides emotional reassurance, helping to create a sense of stability in the home or therapeutic setting.
💛 Deep Pressure Therapy – Their size allows them to naturally provide deep pressure stimulation, a technique known to ease anxiety and support emotional regulation.
🦮 Ideal for Assistance Work – Many service dogs are larger breeds because their size enables them to perform physical tasks such as bracing, opening doors, or offering mobility support.
🚗 Independence & Practicality – Larger Cobberdogs can independently enter and exit vehicles, reducing the need for lifting or assistance.
👣 Robust & Safer Around Children – Their sturdier build makes them less of a trip hazard, and they are too large for children to pick up - minimising the risk of accidental injury to either the child or the dog.
While their size brings many functional advantages, larger Cobberdogs are also surprisingly well-suited to smaller homes. Thanks to their calm nature and low-energy indoor behaviour, they adapt beautifully to a variety of living situations—proving that a Cobber of all sizes can feel right at home, no matter the space.
