Show Notes
Are you getting a Cavoodle puppy soon or are they already home? If so, this is the episode I wish EVERY new Cavoodle parent could hear when getting a Cavoodle puppy! We dive into the critical socialisation period, what your puppy is really thinking when they arrive in your home, why “naughty” behaviour isn’t actually naughty, and the common mistakes that quietly sabotage training and create anxiety.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How young your Cavoodle really is at 8 weeks and why expectations need to match their actual development
What the critical socialisation period is (3–12 weeks) and how it shapes your Cavoodle’s confidence for life
What your puppy is thinking when they step into your home and why trust comes before training
The real reasons behind ‘naughty’ puppy behaviour
How Cavoodles naturally communicate and why biting, barking and jumping are actually messages, not “bad behaviour”
The most common mistakes new families make that hinders their training progress
Why your breeder choice matters more than colour, coat or size
What lifestyle training actually looks like and how it helps your puppy complement your lifestyle instead of complicating it
How the Cavoodle Training Academy gives you 28 days of done-for-you daily schedules, socialisation plans, and Q&A support so you don’t have to figure this all out alone
By the end of the episode, you’ll understand exactly what your puppy needs from you in those first few weeks - and how to set them up for a calm, confident, well-adjusted life with your family! Enjoy ☺️
