Training Your Puppy
Cavapoos are intelligent dogs and are easy to train. They respond well to positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise. Positive reinforcement dog training is a way to train a dog using rewards and praise to encourage good behavior. When a dog does something good, such as sitting when asked, they are given a reward, such as a treat or praise like “good boy/girl!” This helps the dog understand that they did something right and encourages them to repeat the behavior.
Let’s say you want to teach your dog to sit. You would start by giving the command “sit” and gently pushing their bottom down. As soon as they sit, you would give them a treat or praise them with words like “good job!” This tells the dog that sitting when you say “sit” is a good thing, and they will be rewarded for doing it.
Positive reinforcement dog training is works because it creates a positive feeling between good behavior and rewards. It also helps to build trust and a strong bond between you and your dog, making them a well-behaved and happy companion.
They can be trained to do a variety of tricks and commands, such as sit, stay, and come. It’s important to start training a Cavapoo early in life to establish good habits and prevent behavior problems.
Health Care
Like all dogs, Cavapoos may be prone to certain health problems. They may be prone to dental problems, ear infections, and allergies. It’s important to take your Cavapoo to the vet regularly for check-ups and to keep up with their vaccinations and preventative care. With proper care and attention, Cavapoos can live happy and healthy lives.
