Cavoodle Coach Podcast

Today’s episode is a little bit different… I’m taking you behind the scenes and sharing my story, how I got started, what shaped my training philosophy, and how I now help families raise calm, confident Cavoodles that truly complement their lifestyle. From my early days working in a veterinary clinic, to grooming, puppy school training, breeding Cavoodles and now coaching families all over the world, I walk you through the experiences that led me to realise something important… Most families aren’t struggling because they’re doing something wrong. They’re struggling because they’ve never been shown the right kind of training for this breed. I also share the story of my first Cavoodle, Oscar, and how his behavioural challenges shaped everything I teach today. If you’re new here, this is the perfect place to start. And if you’ve been listening for a while, this episode will help you understand the why behind everything I teach inside the Cavoodle Training Academy.

Today, I’m diving into one of the most common challenges new Cavoodle owners face… barking. From attention barking and excitement barking to anxiety and alert barking, I break down exactly why puppies bark and which types of barking we actually don’t want to stop. Most importantly, I share the proactive training strategies that prevent excessive barking before it even begins. Because the truth is, barking is rarely the real problem. It is a symptom of how your puppy feels and how they have learned to communicate.

Are you finding yourself thinking about getting a Cavoodle puppy this year or maybe you have already started looking, chatting to breeders, and wondering if you are actually ready to commit? This episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and make a decision you feel confident about. In this episode, I share seven honest questions to ask yourself before you put a deposit down on a Cavoodle - because getting a puppy is not just about wanting one, it is about being ready for everything that comes with them. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to realistically assess whether you can afford a Cavoodle, both now and long term Why cheaper puppies can sometimes cost you far more later and what to look for in a breeder The hidden puppy costs people forget Why Cavoodles should not be left home alone five days a week, and what schedules work best for them How travel plans, weekends away, and lack of support can create stress for both you and your puppy Why the age of your children matters more than most families realise, and how it affects biting and over arousal What the real time commitment looks like in the first months, and why the puppy stage feels so intense Why doing the research before your puppy arrives changes everything, and how to set yourself up properly from day one What the Cavoodle Training Academy includes, and why breed specific training and support makes the early weeks so much easier By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to consider before getting a Cavoodle puppy, and you will be able to decide whether now is the right time, or whether waiting a little longer will lead to a calmer, easier start for your future puppy.

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.

After 5 weeks of travelling around Europe, I returned home to my beautiful 5 year old Cavoodle, Nessie, and guess what the first thing I did was? I got out my treat pouch and went straight back to basics with her loose lead walking. Why? Because she just spent the last month pulling on the lead when she went for walks with my parents which is completely OKAY. I'm not upset or irritated at the regression. In fact, I am just so grateful I got to go on a holiday and have her so well looked after and the fact of the matter is, as a Cavoodle parent, you have to accept that there WILL be minor setbacks in your Cavoodle's training and behaviour over the course of their life.  In today's episode of the Cavoodle Coach Podcast, I'm sharing what can cause these training regressions and how to get through them quickly.

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.

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.

Okay, this one is a BIG one! One of the most common concerns I hear from new Cavoodle families and one that is completely warranted. Let's have a chat about whether your Cavoodle is really that fussy or maybe, if they have a nose that isn't working properly.  USEFUL LINKS: JOIN my Cavoodle Training Academy: https://www.oodleway.co/cavoodletrainingacademy  My Home Grooming Course: https://www.oodleway.co/home-groom   My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oodleway   My TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oodleway     My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oodleway 

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.

Imagine having a puppy who sleeps for 20-22 hours a day, doesn't bite you, jump on you, chew your furniture or have excessive energy. Imagine having a puppy who sleeps beside you as you watch TV and relaxes in the living room when you have friends over. Finally, imagine having a puppy who lies quietly at your feet at the coffee shop and doesn't cry or bark for attention from everyone who walks past you. Sounds like a pipe dream right? Well, what if I told you it's POSSIBLE and something 100+ Cavoodle families who have followed my Essential Cavoodle Puppy Planner program have achieved? In today's episode on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on what you need to do with a Cavoodle puppy to get them to sleep and relax in your home, as well as behave calmly and politely while awake. Check it out and let me know what you think by writing a review! :)    USEFUL LINKS: JOIN my Cavoodle Training Academy: https://www.oodleway.co/cavoodletrainingacademy  My Oodle Home Grooming Course: https://www.oodleway.co/home-groom   My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oodleway   My TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oodleway     My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oodleway 

I know the topic of Pet Insurance is a big one and it can be very overwhelming deciding whether to invest in a policy or not. So I decided to be really transparent and share the total cost of all of my Cavoodle, Joey's, vet visits over the last 6 months vs the amount we've spent on Pet Insurance to see if we've saved money or not. I also share the name of the Pet Insurance company we're with and some extra details on what costs to expect when you first bring a puppy home.  USEFUL LINKS: JOIN my Cavoodle Training Academy: https://www.oodleway.co/cavoodletrainingacademy  My Oodle Home Grooming Course: https://www.oodleway.co/home-groom   My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oodleway   My TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oodleway     My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oodleway 

"My puppy won't stop biting but it's okay, they'll grow out of it." "My puppy keeps jumping all over my kids and visitors! But they're just excited and will grow out of it once they're no longer a puppy." "My puppy won't slow down and rest but they're just a puppy and still learning. They'll grow out of it when they're an adult!" "My puppy won't listen to me but it's okay, I'll train them once they're older." Do any of these phrases sound familiar to you? Maybe you share some of these beliefs and that's okay. It's a common misconception that puppies behave in a certain way because of their age and once they get older, they grow out of it.  Unfortunately, it's not this simple and I'm sharing the reality of "naughty puppy behaviour" in today's episode and how we need to be addressing it.

Last week I had to say goodbye to my childhood Cavoodle, Oscar. Words can't explain the hole left behind but I really wanted to speak about this topic of grief as the loss of a dog is something we will all be going through. Hopefully the tips I share in this episode help you move through your own season of loss a little bit more easily.  I hope you find value in this episode and I also wanted to apologise in advance for crying.

Sleepless nights, biting, toileting accidents, crying, crazy puppy energy - I bet these are all of the things you're expecting during your first week with your new puppy. But what if I told you it didn't have to look that way? What if I told you your puppy could be calm, focused, toilet trained and sleeping through the night almost immediately?  I'm sharing how to achieve this in this week's episode so give it a listen and be prepared to have your mind blown!

"Cavoodles are easy". Well...they can be. But it's not without some sacrifice.  If you're getting a Cavoodle I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode so you can understand what you need to be doing with your puppy to ensure they're "easy" to have within your home. Because whether you want to believe it or not, Cavoodles are prone to some serious anxiety-related behavioural issues that can completely restrict your lifestyle & end in destroyed furniture, endless crying, sleepless nights, and chewed shoes.  USEFUL LINKS: JOIN my Cavoodle Training Academy: https://www.oodleway.co/cavoodletrainingacademy  My Oodle Home Grooming Course: https://www.oodleway.co/home-groom   My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oodleway   My TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oodleway     My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oodleway

Making a split second decision and bringing a puppy home the same day is never a good idea and it definitely does NOT set you & your Cavoodle up for a life free of anxiety and behavioural issues.

Toilet Training should be one of everyone's top goal when they bring their Cavoodle home. The good news is, a puppy can be toilet trained within a few short weeks but they can also have accidents for years to come. It all depends on what plan you follow when you bring your puppy home and what your understanding of being "toilet trained" actually looks like.  Today, I'm going to be sharing what having "toilet trained" dogs looks like for me and what often causes a big regression for new Cavoodle families.  We all know that getting a puppy is a 15 year long commitment, but how long does the training process *actually* take for Cavoodles?
