The truth is, unless you learn how to speak your Cavoodle's language, you'll never get success with your training. In this episode, I’m sharing the real key to raising a well-behaved puppy - and it’s not more commands or stricter routines. It’s learning how to speak dog.

You’ll walk away with so many lightbulb moments and this episode is a must-listen for every Cavoodle parent.

When your Cavoodle puppy bites, is the answer really just a firm “No”?
In this episode, I want to unpack the big difference between something I like to call reactive vs proactive puppy training and why one will set you up for constant frustration while the other sets your puppy up for calm, polite behaviour. If you’re wondering how to actually stop the biting instead of just reacting to it, this one’s for you.

You take your puppy outside to the toilet, they refuse to go, and then you bring them back inside only for them to lock eyes with you and squat...peeing all over your carpet. Frustration and helplessness bubbles inside of you, leaving you wondering if your puppy is having all of these accidents in spite of you - because it really looks that way.
Does this situation sound familiar? It's normal if it does and today we're going to be unpacking toilet training struggles for Cavoodles and strategies to have them fully toilet trained in a matter of a few short weeks. Enjoy!
