Back in the day, they were designed to have the loving and friendly qualities of a Cavalier, while being as non-shedding as a Poodle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looks like they got the best of both worlds, it\u2019s no surprise they\u2019re one of the most popular designer dogs worldwide! They also look like teddy bears \u2013 especially when their owners make them Instagram accounts\u2026oh, the outfits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here\u2019s how the mix works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were originally bred as a copy of toy spaniels. Cool history fact, they were Charles II\u2019s favorites \u2013 this is where they get their name from. Although they\u2019re still considered to be a toy breed, they\u2019re still quite active from their Spaniel and Poodle inherited traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Miniature Poodle is probably the other part of your Cavapoo. Miniature Poodles were bred as hunting companions, and are incredibly intelligent \u2013 they are also the original circus dogs! Gotta say we don\u2019t love animals being used in circus performances. Anyway, that\u2019s for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these traits get brought together, they turn out to form the most brilliant dog in all kinds of ways, especially when talking in terms of skills \u2013 whether it\u2019s agility, flyball, trick training or nose work (or all at the same time!) your Cavapoo will always manage to show them off some way or another. While they\u2019re active, they will also generally adore being on your sofa, having cuddles when they\u2019re not out doing dog things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s other special qualities and talents you can be proud about as a Cavapoo owner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019re hardy little dogs and will be able to cope with most weather conditions. Don\u2019t underestimate their size!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cavapoos are intelligent and love to train. They do well at agility and tricks, but you\u2019ll see that they\u2019ll be up for most dog sports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They build strong bonds with their owner and are sensitive and affectionate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are great family dogs \u2013 they\u2019re very good with children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They can adapt for life in the city or country. A good all rounder, I\u2019d say.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-this-have-to-do-with-how-i-train-my-cavapoo\">What does this have to do with how I train my Cavapoo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a fair question actually. But there is a logic as to why knowing the context might help you train your Cavapoo puppy better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With those Spaniel brains and Poodle good looks, you\u2019ll quickly find that Cavapoo puppies will be more than happy to work with you to do anything.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Despite their dainty teddy bear looks, they have high energy needs and need to exercise every day \u2013 they will love going on long walks with you at the weekend.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Given the right training and mental stimulation, they\u2019ll be happy with living in the city or in the country. If they\u2019re&nbsp;<em>really&nbsp;<\/em>lucky they\u2019ll have both!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Again \u2013 don\u2019t let the teddy bear look fool you. Many of them like water and getting filthy in mud! It\u2019s a great idea to join in the fun as well. Just look out for your carpets\u2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They have a strong sense of smell, so playing scent or retrieving games tend to be received with open\u2026paws.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They require&nbsp;<em>a lot&nbsp;<\/em>of grooming. Their coats range from being very curly, to wavy, to straight. This also means you\u2019ll need to take care that they\u2019re not aren\u2019t handled roughly or over handled \u2013 they\u2019re busy dogs, not babies!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cavapoos often love to retrieve, which means they\u2019ll like to carry things around in their mouths. That being said, make sure you also teach them the wonders of giving things up. It can lead to great things!

At Zigzag we\u2019re all about busting boredom and having happy dogs with a lust for life, so it makes sense that we\u2019d recommend training in the same way doesn\u2019t it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using the \u2018Push Drop Stick\u2019 method to increase difficulty gradually we can get better and faster results and don\u2019t get that boredom or frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially you do the same thing 5 times, get all 5 right, push on to the next level of difficulty, get 3 or 4 right then you should stick where you are, get only 1 or 2 right, then drop back to a slightly easier level of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-1-training-your-cavapoo-puppy\">Week 1 \u2013 Training your Cavapoo puppy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!

You must be chuffed to bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first week though is all about fun and getting to know your Cavapoo puppy, (and them you!) so don\u2019t put too much pressure on yourselves. They need to learn to trust you, and that you\u2019re the best. thing. ever.

It\u2019s likely they will wake in the night for a potty break so be prepared to be a bit sleep deprived for the first week or so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh and our number 1 piece of advice\u2026 don\u2019t let them cry it out, a few barks and whimpers are fine.

They rush the process and cause their puppy to be stressed, this will undo all the good work you may have done already.

Make sure you give them lots of opportunities to go out for a wee so they don\u2019t have any accidents, you can find more info in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/toilet-training\/how-to-toilet-train-a-puppy-full-guide\/\">puppy potty training<\/a>&nbsp;article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialization and habituation are important topics to start on straight away with your Cavapoo puppy. In our experience, they can be a little more sensitive than other breeds, so we want to make these experiences fun for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Letting your Cavapoo puppy explore the yard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teach your puppy about surfaces&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have a good read on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/getting-your-puppy\/puppy-socialization-training\/\">socializing your puppy<\/a>, grab a cuppa and spend a bit of time checking it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started with training \u2013&nbsp; we don\u2019t want to do too much and overwhelm your pup, but this week you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/teach-a-puppy-its-name\/\">Teach your Cavapoo their name<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teach your Cavapoo puppy to sit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/puppy-recall-training\/\">Recall \u2013<\/a>&nbsp;How to teach your Cavapoo puppy to come back when called<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Retrieve\/fetch: If Cavapoos were born to do anything, it\u2019s to fetch (ok also look cute and cuddle\u2026.). They love playing retrieving games \u2013 you\u2019ll find that they have a natural talent for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that your Cavapoo puppy learns how to give up items willingly as this will help prevent resource guarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resource guarding occurs when we force puppies to give up items or snatch things out of their mouths. It can end up looking like an awkward game of tug of war \u2013 especially at the park when they steal someone else\u2019s frisbee. We\u2019ve talked about how playful Cavapoos are, and indeed this can turn into a bit of a game, so don\u2019t play chase, as they\u2019ll find it fun! Have a read of our guide on resource guarding and it\u2019ll be easy as pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Handling your puppy: Mostly, Cavapoos love to be touched and petted, so you probably won\u2019t have many problems for this one.

Things like wearing hats, scarves, using walking sticks, all provide a visual of a \u2018strange\u2019 looking human, that your Cavapoo puppy will learn to realize isn\u2019t so scary if you introduce it in the correct way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit in the car \u2013 no need to go on a huge road trip just yet, just teach them that the car is a fun place to be.

If you\u2019re meeting another dog then a calm older dog can be a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting another dog is not all about your puppy playing like a crazy thing, but actually learning to focus on you when another dog is around, as well as just being comfortable in another dog\u2019s company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding a puppy class or a good trainer for your puppy can feel as difficult as trying to find a school for your children. We suggest you look at the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apdt.co.uk\/\">Association of Pet Dog Trainers<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.capbt.org\/\">COAPE Association of Applied Pet Behaviorists and Trainers<\/a>&nbsp;or one of the members of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ukdogcharter.org\/\">UK Dog Charter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Settle on a mat \u2013 Cavapoos are incredibly inquisitive, yet this can lead to issues with them being able to relax while out and about.

For a Cavapoo, this is often the face, legs and ears, which get tangled the most and might hurt when brushed. Remember to go gently, do a small amount of brushing of a sensitive portion, all the while feeding them treats or having them enjoy a lickimat, then brush a part that is easier to brush.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-5-training-your-cavapoo-puppy\">Week 5 \u2013 Training your Cavapoo puppy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By week 5 you\u2019ll have gotten to know your Cavapoo puppy quite well, so you can build on some of the training you\u2019ve already taught them and make things a bit more difficult using the Push\/Drop\/Stick system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also taking the leash walking and recall training outside \u2013 you\u2019ll be thankful for the harness you trained your Cavapoo puppy to like wearing when it comes to this bit. If you think walking a dog is an opportunity to \u2018zone out\u2019 think again, that takes time. With a puppy it\u2019s all about training for now, so they learn how to walk nicely and how to react to things going on around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start working on things this week that are important to your lifestyle, maybe you have a horse and want them to be ok with horses, or you like boating. Getting your pup used to life\u2019s novelties early on will help them easily accept them.

Start off by just doing it on the leash in a safe area, then progress to dropping the lead, then doing it totally off leash. *gulp* it will be fine if you\u2019ve been training for it, if you\u2019re not quite there yet then feel free to use a long line (this is a 5 or 10m long leash that your puppy can drag behind them) so that your puppy is kept safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an idea to think about how you might deal with distractions too, if your puppy is particularly susceptible to the cooing of other dog walkers, or they\u2019re very interested in other dogs then you\u2019ll need to make yourself the BEST thing in the park, and probably use a long line until you\u2019ve done a bit more training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leash walking \u2013 Loose leash walking takes a bit of time to get right, but with practice and patience, you\u2019ll get there.
