Making a split second decision and bringing a puppy home the same day is never a good idea and it definitely does NOT set you & your Cavoodle up for a life free of anxiety and behavioural issues. So how long does it take to actually prepare for a Cavoodle puppy before bringing them home? Listen to today's episode to hear my thoughts as a Cavoodle Puppy Coach.

Toilet Training should be one of everyone's top goal when they bring their Cavoodle home. The good news is, a puppy can be toilet trained within a few short weeks but they can also have accidents for years to come. It all depends on what plan you follow when you bring your puppy home and what your understanding of being "toilet trained" actually looks like.
Today, I'm going to be sharing what having "toilet trained" dogs looks like for me and what often causes a big regression for new Cavoodle families.

When a family is getting a new puppy, one of the first questions they ask a Breeder is "how big will my puppy get?". Now, while I do believe this should be one of the last questions you should ask (and should instead be asking about the temperament training the Breeder does through their curriculum program), I DO understand why this is an important factor to many families.
However, instead of asking for the weight prediction, I recommend asking the Breeder the following question instead to give you a more reliable indication on how big your puppy will grow to. Check out the episode to find out!

Over the October long weekend, we took my new puppy on a holiday to the beach and it had me thinking about whether I recommend taking a puppy on a holiday or not.

Have you ever noticed how some people rave about how calm, gentle & well-behaved Cavoodles are whereas others scrunch up their nose, complaining they bark, are hyperactive, full of anxiety and reactive? Well I've noticed it and have a few thoughts on this big divide and what causes it.
So if you're getting a Cavoodle and want to make sure you sit firmly on the easy, calm & well-behaved side of the fence, then make sure you listen to this episode!

I've had my new Cavoodle puppy for over a week now and he is settling in SO WELL. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to share what my life is looking like with a 10 week old puppy so you can gain a better understanding on whether your lifestyle will fit a puppy's needs.

Getting a new puppy is overwhelming and there are SO many things to remember in one day alone. With anxiety being such a HUGE issue for so many Cavoodles, you want to make sure that within your daily interactions with your puppy, you're not making these three, easily avoidable mistakes that actually create separation anxiety...

This week I had to make the very big decision on which puppy I wanted to keep from my current litter of Cavoodles to add into my family. After stressing about it for weeks, it was finally time to do the puppy evaluations where we test their temperament traits to give us an idea of which type of home would suit each puppy best. Finally, after completing the tests, it became clear which puppy was meant for us and today on the Podcast, I wanted to share what temperament traits you should look out for in a puppy based on your family's lifestyle.

I wanted to step back in time a little bit today and chat about how my experience with working in a Veterinary Clinic, Grooming Salon, Training Organisation and as a Breeder has shaped my approach to coaching Cavoodles. From having a Cavoodle who suffered severe anxiety to raising many who have been confident, calm and anxiety free, my goal in life is to help more families experience this joy of an easy puppy!

Before making any kind of commitment, it's really important to know what you're getting into both in terms of time and money. This week, I decided to break down the costs of a Cavoodle and to be honest, I was SHOCKED by the result. While they may be expensive, they are worth every penny indeed ❤️

Before starting my business specialising in Cavoodles, I worked as a Puppy School Trainer and it opened my eyes to a few key facts about the type of training done in these classes and their suitability to different breeds. As always, Cavoodles are at the forefront of my mind and I must say, Puppy School isn't my first pick when it comes to training this breed and shaping them into a "good dog". Today, I decided to share why it's not the most beneficial type of training and what you can be doing instead with more success.

There's nothing I'm more passionate about than the development of a puppy's brain and how we can utilise each stage of this development to shape and mould our Cavoodle into a confident, calm and non-reactive puppy. If you're getting a puppy, this stage of development is ESSENTIAL to know and understand, so please listen to this episode to get educated!

Getting two puppies at once seems good in theory as they'll play with each other and possibly prevent seperation anxiety from forming...but I have to say, I just don't recommend it for the reasons I've outlined in this episode. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts... [email protected]

When it comes to training your puppy, there are SO many different types of training methods out there but I wanted to share the training perspective that I use which works extremely well for Cavoodles. It's also about time we talk about "picking your battles" with your puppy.

Ten years ago, whenever I heard someone had "crate trained" their dog, I was HORRIFIED. In my mind, it was cruel to cage a puppy up like that and I couldn't understand how it could be beneficial at all - let alone not actually be cruel or mean.
Fast forward 10 years later and now I am the biggest advocate there is for crate training. If you're like me 10 years ago and believe crate training is cruel, this episode is for you...

There is no such thing as a "naughty puppy". There's only a family who doesn't pick up on boredom and anxiety signals from their puppy before it spirals out of control. Today's episode is a MUST LISTEN for any families who have (or are getting) a Cavoodle puppy.
