#65 Why The School Holidays Can Be The Worst Time To Get A Cavoodle

Are you planning when to bring your Cavoodle puppy home and thinking the school holidays might be the perfect time? This episode might completely change how you think about it. In this episode, I share the honest truth about the best and worst times of year to get a Cavoodle puppy, and why school holidays, especially Christmas and summer break, are often one of the hardest times to start puppy training - even though they seem convenient. This episode is based on what I see every single week inside the Cavoodle Training Academy, especially after the holiday period, when families are exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why things feel so much harder than expected. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why school holidays often make puppy training harder, not easier How having children home all day can increase biting, over-arousal, and frustration in puppies Why puppies need structure and routine more than constant attention How inconsistency and mixed messages confuse your puppy and slow down training What the “puppy blues” are and how to reduce your chances of experiencing them How much time you should actually take off work when your puppy comes home Why Cavoodles should not be left home alone five days a week The best time of year and life situation to bring a Cavoodle puppy home Why travel plans, holidays, and big life changes can derail early training How preparing before your puppy arrives makes everything calmer and easier By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to choose the right time to bring your Cavoodle home, how to set up your family for success, and how to avoid so many of the common struggles that lead to stress, overwhelm, and frustration in those first few weeks.
