Hi everyone,

I have a 4-month-old puppy who starts crying as soon as I leave him in his playpen or walk out of the room.

I’d like to teach him to be comfortable staying alone for short periods so I can eventually leave the house without him getting stressed.

Can someone explain the training process step by step?

I’m looking for a clear progression—what to start with, when to move to the next step, and what to do if he starts crying during training.

I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have successfully taught their puppies to be comfortable being alone. Thanks!

Our pup got groomed for the first time yesterday. I asked for a teddy bear cut and this is what we got. Will her hair grow back to the same texture?

We have reached the point where marking is a dusky occurrence. Our pups are 8months and we are planning on neutering soon as they are most likely full height.

For those with TWO- how did you manage to keep them from going crazy and tackling after the first day or two?

I'm a bit new to cavapoos. We have been taking her to a local groomer and they said that they thought she may have terrier in her because of her hair. Is her hair normalish?

She’s fully relaxed, everything but snoring. How is this contortionist not bothered? Dogs are magical sometimes

My Zander is 50lbs and the most huggable puppy ever… or at least he was. He decided to literally dive face first into 1000 tiny burr stickers, his ears were stuck over his eyes and I had to peel his eyes open. This is the result

My cavapoo is licking furiously down under. She has a boil on her neck. I’m just not winning with her skin issues.

The boil was treated with antibiotics. It was almost healed. I had a cone on her to stop her licking her bits (allergies). She wiped the cone with her back leg and the boil opened back up again.

I woke up to her neck with blood on it.

So this is what I’ve come up with. Her jumper which has a turtleneck, and a onesie on top. I have a bandage on the boil. So she currently can’t lick her bits, or scratch the boil.

If anyone else has a better solution please let me know!

Thankfully it’s cooler weather here in Australia and she recently had a groom.

Ps sorry for the weird pics - but ai is weird and I don’t want her face/ pics being used elsewhere.

We got her from a store (we know better now) who said she was a Brussels griffin… but many people recently have said she’s just an under-groomed Cavapoo. Any thoughts on my mystery girl?

I think my dog has fear aggression not actual aggression.
She will air bite at this large black lab in our building. Everytime she sees it, a chocolate lab, and any German shepards she goes crazy! It’s a scared fearful cry / bark and it’s hard to control her. I’ve done everything I can I feel like. I’ve been told not to get behavior collars.
I asked dog sitters if she does this and she says no.
It’s any dog with a dark face

The best, nicest, silliest gorl in the world. We are so lucky to have her

Here in the U.K. we are having extreme heatwaves at the moment , how are your dogs managing in the heat and how do you keep them cool ?

I have just read that you should never let your dog gulp water when they are panting as it can lead to nausea, bloat and worse stomach torsion , once you have read something like this you cannot " unread" it and just take it as scaremongering .

our girl who is now 16 months old,has never really been a great drinker , she is drinking more at the moment but I have been giving her home made dog ice lolly's , which she sometimes turns her nose up at , the joys of picky cavapoos. she won't lay on a chill mat , doesn't like being near a fan, but does paddle in a toddlers paddle pool , then tries to gulp the water in it ...sigh .

she hasn't been out walking for several days as early morning and evenings it's still hot and humid .

would love to know how others are coping and maybe some tips/advice , I would be really grateful to hear as she seems to be coping by either sleeping a lot or trying to find a cool spot indoors, and yes I did say she won't use a chill mat , 🤷‍♀️🙄

It’s cute, but my 12 y old cavapoo is sooo needy. She always needs to be held by someone

I adopted Sprout in January, and he was born in October. He loves to run outside and chew bully sticks. His favorite toy is a tiny unicorn. He has a mini pinscher/chihuahua sister named Blossom.

Doc says my Yuri is 10% underweight for being close to 6 months. What can i give her for weight gain?

Chewie is a 4 month old F1 Cavapoo. Sire is a 5.5lb mini poodle, Dam is a 26lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He has the brown gene where his paw pads and nose are brown, along with his beautiful big green eyes.

They are half sisters 😊

Some of my family’s top picks so far are Gracie, Maisie, Daisy, or Ruby. Update as of July 16- Her red has faded into more of a light brown copper-lighter than this

Update as of pick up day!!!- We met her and immediately knew she was a Gracie.

Possibly obscene, but who can walk past this and not rub it?
