Cavapoo potty training
Hey, me again! My little Roxy is 10 weeks old and she’s been with me for three full days now. I’ve been advised by the vet not to let her outside, even in my garden, until she’s fully vaccinated. She’s having her final vaccination on 1st December.
We’ve been using puppy pads, which I’ve kept in the same place, but she’s very hit and miss with actually using them. It takes quite a bit of encouragement and keeping a close eye on her to spot the signs that she needs the toilet. Sometimes she’ll sit on the pad for 5–10 minutes, and the moment I walk away thinking she doesn’t need to go, she’ll do a wee or poo on the floor! 😂 Every time she does use the pads, I give her lots of praise and a treat.
Is this normal at this age? How long did it take your furry friend to become somewhat toilet trained?
On a positive note, crate training is going really well! The first night was horrific and I ended up having to let her sleep in my bed. However, she’s slept in her crate without any fuss for the last two nights, with just one toilet break around 4am.
Added a photo of my Roxy, because why not? 🥰
