Show Notes
Are you finding yourself thinking about getting a Cavoodle puppy this year or maybe you have already started looking, chatting to breeders, and wondering if you are actually ready to commit? This episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and make a decision you feel confident about.
In this episode, I share seven honest questions to ask yourself before you put a deposit down on a Cavoodle - because getting a puppy is not just about wanting one, it is about being ready for everything that comes with them.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to realistically assess whether you can afford a Cavoodle, both now and long term
Why cheaper puppies can sometimes cost you far more later and what to look for in a breeder
The hidden puppy costs people forget
Why Cavoodles should not be left home alone five days a week, and what schedules work best for them
How travel plans, weekends away, and lack of support can create stress for both you and your puppy
Why the age of your children matters more than most families realise, and how it affects biting and over arousal
What the real time commitment looks like in the first months, and why the puppy stage feels so intense
Why doing the research before your puppy arrives changes everything, and how to set yourself up properly from day one
What the Cavoodle Training Academy includes, and why breed specific training and support makes the early weeks so much easier
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to consider before getting a Cavoodle puppy, and you will be able to decide whether now is the right time, or whether waiting a little longer will lead to a calmer, easier start for your future puppy. Enjoy ☺️
