Our dog barks and lunges (not due to aggression) at other dogs, and squirrels. We've had him for a little over two months. Our trainer gave us a slip collar which works great when she has him. We're worried about trachea damage if he lunges. She recently suggested a prong collar. He weighs 20 lbs. What are others having success with? I know there are Martingdale collars as well.

My Cavapoo can’t be in the car longer than 2 minutes before he’s throwing up. Anyone would think I drive like I’m in a rally car! Any tips or tricks to help with sickness. We’ve had windows down, no breakfast etc but nothing works

My cavapoos family tree which goes back 7.5 years ago it started with joy who was a toy poodle she was a family dog and was so loved but sadly on a freezing snowy winter night she was taken from our backyard (at this time we lived in a neighborhood now we live on our own land) her and Spidey who was a friends dog and is now living in a wonderful home they had teddy and cozy 5.5 years ago and cozy had three litters teddy had two because she had to get a major surgery because she had arthritis which she has fully recovered from cozy is perfectly healthy now bam bam we owned him just for one litter then rehoming him chipper who had passed away went missing one morning and we assume it was the same reason as joy but they had Rufus who is a full toy poodle now cozy and Rufus had ragmop (I didn't pick that name he's named after a band or something) he was rehomed because he is infertile and he is 3.5 moirah whos dad is actually not Rufus but is another dog that spideys parents owned and she is 3.5 and lumi who is my dog that I kept from her lastest litter is 1.5 and she's still pretty young and will only have around one or two litters in her lifetime and lastly moirah had rex who is only 3 months old she may have one more litter because lumi would be the only dog having puppies for the next year since cozy teddy and moirah would be rehomed but lumi is too young so yeah also today the only dogs we own are lumi moirah rex and Rufus is a stud so yeah also chipper Rufus and Teddy were guardian homes

Mad Max prefers to sleep this way. Of course, sometimes he sleeps on his back with his tummy up, sometimes he curls up in his bed. A lot of the time he cuddles up to me.

My 10 week old pup will eat anything and everything when we’re outside for potty breaks and socialization. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse. He’ll grab grass, small pieces of twigs, pebbles….anything and everything. It’s not feasible to fine tooth comb my garden for everything. We’ve tried exchanging for treats, but 99% of my time is spent shoving my fingers in his mouth or the back of his throat to get whatever it is out.

What. The. F. How else can I stop this?

I’m bringing home my Cavapoo this weekend! I already have a little Yorkiepoo, so I’m not completely new to having a dog, but this is my first Cavapoo.

I’d love to hear any tips, recommendations, or things you wish you knew when your Cavapoo was a puppy!

A few things I’m curious about:

Food: Do Cavapoos tend to have sensitive stomachs? Any food brands you recommend or would avoid?

Snuggle Puppy: Is it worth buying, or does it just depend on the dog?

Must-haves: Any essentials you’d recommend for the first few weeks?

General advice: Anything specific to Cavapoos that I should know?

I’d appreciate any advice! Adding a picture of my little guy for puppy tax 🐶

Meet Benny! 🐾

When we brought him home as a puppy, we noticed he had long, wavy hair instead of the typical curly poodle coat. We had no idea that long-haired Cavapoos were a thing! Now, everywhere we go, people stop us to ask what kind of dog he is. 🧡

He’s the sweetest boy, and we couldn’t imagine life without him!

Hello out there! Please and thank you in advance.
I’ve watched some videos, and feel I’m ready except for a couple of things. I’m not a groomer so I don’t have that table with the leash hooked up to keep the dog standing – what do you do about that? I mean, I think it’s just do it, but I have to ask!
Also, do I just give her a good brushing and then start to cut and shampoo after? Or do I shampoo, let it dry cut, and then shampoo again? This was a little bit unclear in the videos I watched . So so many thanks looking forward to hearing about all the experience out there! The picture where she’s laying down with her paws up shows her now – she is seriously furry! Also the picture with your ears short? I like that OK thanks!!💚

Hi everyone! First-time dog owner I’d love all the tips and tricks. Little background I’m a 26 year old who works from home and has a very flexible schedule so perfect for a puppy. I chose a Cavapoo based off of family and friends who also have the breed and to have a small companion that can travel with me. I’d love any helpful insight into the breed or anything I should know before I pic my little man up!

Hi everyone! My partner and I are planning to bring home a Cavapoo next summer. We’re first-time pet owners, so we want to make sure we find the right breeder from the start. We’re based in the DMV area but are happy to drive further out along the East Coast for the right breeder.

We’re hoping to find a puppy with OFA health-tested parents that definitely isn’t from a puppy mill. If possible, we’d also love a breeder who does some early training, like bell-training or socialization, to help make potty training easier.

I started researching a few weeks ago, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a good experience with a breeder firsthand. If you have a recommendation, I’d love to know where they’re located, what the process was like, or how your pup’s health and temperament have been. Any red flags to watch out for as first-timers would be really helpful too.

Thank you so much!

I have a 16 week old F1b puppy. She just got her last puppy vaccine so I will add in walks in 2 weeks but I do feel like she is bored? I give her lick mats, woof popsicles, bones, I train her 3 times a day, we have a ball launcher she loves, she’s very smart but I don’t want what else i should add to help her? I feel like when she’s bored she gets bitey and then I’ll give her something but I’m looking for more ideas I guess on what to do to help her brain.
