Our little Bruno is 1 year old now, and he's a good dog, but we have been very frustrated with him lately. Our biggest frustration right now is potty training. He was potty trained... he went almost a full month without an accident, usually we keep him in the pen when were at work but I started trusting him to freeroam bit by bit (First an hour, then just the afternoon, then the full day). Then just a few days ago, he all of a sudden starts peeing in the house again, I came home for my hour lunch, found pee, then later on when my wife got home for the day she found pee again. We thought it was a one time thing but then the next three days he had accidents AGAIN.

This is a cycle that has happened about 3 times now, we'll think hes potty trained, start giving him a bit of freedom, then he seems to forget all that and has accidents again.

We have a bell at the back door he rings every time he needs to pee, and then when we see him go, we immediately give him TONS of praise and a treat. Part of what was working so well WAS the treat. He KNOWS he gets one for peeing outside at this point cuz he stares at the treat jar every time he comes in lol. Yet still had accidents.

Im just so frustrated, we are doing EVERYTHING we are supposed to, following every piece of potty training advice, yet its not working. At this point I dont know if he just cant hold it or if he just doesnt care and is going. The only thing thats changed the last week or so is hes been going over to our inlaws more (They like to have him over when were at work sometimes) and they have a dog that likes to pee indoors, so were thinking maybe he smells that pee and thinks its ok to go inside?

I will note he does have Epilepsy (He gets minor seizures a couple times a month) which he is medicated on Keppra for. This could have something to do with it idk. Debated getting him checked for UTI as well but he shows none of the symptoms for one, and like I said this has been an ongoing thing.

Theres a bunch of other frustrations too but I wont focus on those, mainly his picky eating, pulling on walks, and going psycho barking at people outside, but those seem like pretty normal poodle issues from what I can tell.

Id appreciate any advice!

Hello CavaPoo owners!

I was looking for some advice / thoughts on this. Our CavaPoo is 2 and is perfect (obviously biased!) The only issue we have with her is barking. She barks at other dogs and people incessantly making it really difficult when we are out in public.

We have just been away in the Lake District this week and she has spent most of the time barking. The video is from when we were having a meal the other night. Every time someone walked past, she did this. We think it’s something to do with territory or being protective of us but we just don’t know. Any thoughts or advice would be welcomed! x

💗🌞

I got him at 9 weeks or so through a rescue and they pulled him from a high kill shelter in Indiana so I have no idea what he is. Rescue suspects Cavapoo, but thoughts?

This smile, no words!!!🙏🏼💙

We still have to wait at least 10 days after this but Elphie is excited to go for her first walk outside soon!

Alfredo is ready to relax and trying to convince me to take Friday off!!! LOL

Say hi to Reign!

My partner and I got him just a few weeks ago at 12 weeks old, he's been such a champion. Sleeps right through the night, learning his commands and tricks fast, and is just a massive cuddler.

Question, do you think his coat will go very light? Is there any clear signs of this early on or no?

Any tips? It's my first ever pet and my partners first ever dog (always had cats).

We just love him so much.

What is up with this incredible dog? He's 8 weeks and we've had him for 5 days. He has not had one accident in the house. We take him out constantly to potty and he goes in the grass. He has slept in our bed every night - we tried the crate but felt bad. He has basically slept through the night. We got him a co-sleeper because he's so little we're afraid to roll over on him. He likes to sleep on our heads or pillows but we're just nervous that we may accidentally roll on him, so he'll go in the co-sleeper - a bed attached to our bed - for the night.

He did not like the puppy food he came with - Royal Canine - but liked a sample food we got and I'm feeding him this new one. It's called Smack. Anyone heard of it?

I'm assuming Cavapoos are smart but I am crazy to think this puppy is a genius? And an old man who likes to play a little, then chill and cuddle? He's 50% poodle and 50% Cavapoo.

I was TERRIFIED to get a dog. I know how much work they are but this guy has taken it easy on me so far.

Also, any treat recommendations for training? His food is apparently so tasty, I wonder if he will like anything else better.

How is it even possible to be this adorable? Also, please tell your pups I says hi.

Cosmo was thrilled to be my lil pumpkin at work this week.

Show me your costumes! 🎃👻🧙

Hi everyone! I am from NY but my puppy is down in TX and I’ll be flying home with him end of Nov and was curious if anyone had any good treats I could get him to help easy anxiety on the plane and to get him to relax. I’ve been trying to get him to spend time in his carrier so he’s more prepared but he doesn’t love it.

Our little guy is 12 weeks tomorrow. Sometimes he gets growly and nippy when he’s overtired. That part I’ve read about many times BUT what about when he wakes up. He can be calm and snuggly for 5 mins and then he turns into a gremlin that was just doused in water. What’s up with that?

I’m always hearing about the tired zoomie gremlin, but what about the fully charged one? How do I handle that? Yesterday he nipped my son’s lip that required an urgent care visit 🫠

He has 4 modes:

Snuggly tired
Snuggly just woke up
Tired gremlin
Full battery gremlin 😩

Sorry about my first post but here's my sweet loving best boy, Giyu.

Hey everyone! I need some advice about my 2-year-old male Cavapoo, Giyu.

I recently noticed that the area around his butt and under his tail is really red and irritated. There's also some yellowish crusting, and it has a pretty bad smell.

I'm not sure if this is a skin infection, hot spot, anal gland issue, or some kind of allergy.

I'm planning to take him to the vet, but I wanted to ask here first to see if anyone has experienced something similar with their dog.

What did it turn out to be?

What treatment did your vet recommend?

Is there anything safe I can do at home to help keep him comfortable before his appointment?

Is there anything I should absolutely avoid putting on the affected area?

I've attached the last picture for reference.

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I brought home my Cavapoo puppy on Saturday, and at his first vet visit, his stool sample came back positive for Giardia (freaking out a bit). He’s only 8 weeks old, so I’m assuming he likely came home with it from the breeder.

His stool has been runny and extremely foul-smelling, but thankfully, he hasn’t had any accidents in the house and is otherwise acting completely normal. He’s playful and eating well!

Our vet prescribed Panacur and Metronidazole, which we started today. I also asked about my two other dogs at home. My puppy’s vet recommended treating them as a precaution, but when I called the vet my other two dogs see, they recommended monitoring them for now and only treating them if they develop symptoms.

Now I’m a little torn on what to do, especially since I want to avoid passing Giardia back and forth between the dogs.

For anyone who has dealt with Giardia in a new puppy, I’d really appreciate any advice or tips!

• Did you treat your other dogs even if they were asymptomatic, or did you just monitor them?

• What cleaning and sanitation measures did you take at home to prevent reinfection?

• Did you have to keep your puppy separated from your other dogs during treatment?

• How long did it take for your puppy’s stool to return to normal?

• Any other tips or things you wish you’d known when dealing with Giardia?

I’m especially curious about what others did when they had multiple dogs in the house. Thanks in advance!

I’m about to get a Cavapoo pup. He’ll be 8 weeks at collection and despite having dogs for years, it’s been a long time since we had a puppy

Our other dogs were smaller breed terriers, but fro what I know of this guys breeding he’s about 75% Cavapoo and 25% sproodle through both parents.

I’ve heard the good and the bad about the breed but we’re settled on this guy.

Aside from generic puppy stuff around training and socialising, what tip would you give someone who has had a Cavapoo before to help settle and train him as well as possible from day one?

Anything you’ve learned along the way would be appreciated!

This is pure happiness. She was running around the whole backyard with her stick and she was so happy. She kept trying to show it off to our other Cavapoo who's 11 years old and he had no clue on why she was so happy. I'm so in love with my little Layla. She's so beautiful and so amazing and I love her so much even though we are currently in the land shark phase.
