Cavoodle Coach Podcast

Show Notes

Some dogs crumble when the world gets loud, busy or unpredictable, others seem calm, curious, and resilient no matter what life throws their way. In this episode, I’m sharing why confidence is the #1 trait you need to focus on training and building when raising Cavoodles… and how it’s the difference between reactive dogs and resilient dogs. If you want your puppy to be able to walk camly down the street on a loose lead or relax at your feet at a cafe, this episode is for you.
