Show Notes

Not every Cavoodle is a social butterfly - and that’s okay. In this episode, we unpack the difference between a Cavoodle who’s nervous around other dogs and one who’s simply not interested in making friends. You’ll learn the subtle signs of fear-based behaviour, how personality plays a role, and what you can do to support your Cavoodle’s confidence over time. Whether your pup barks, freezes, hides, or avoids playing with other dogs altogether, this episode is here to help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.
