I am getting a new cockapoo puppy, can someone help?

Question

hello. I am getting a new cockapoo puppy soon. I heard they are a very smart breed. It will be 8 weeks when I acquire it, how many weeks until I start to obedience and potty train it? how long should I take it out for a walk when it starts walking? if you have any other useful info, please let me know!

PS. If you have a cockapoo, please tell me how they are..like for example,barking, friendliness etc.

Answer 1

congrats on ur new baby. cockapoos are great, no shedding and they are pretty smart. AS for the potty training and obedience i'd start that ASAP. there are diff' types of methos for puppy training personally my dog uses "pee-pee pads" he got it pretty quickly.
so make sure you have all of the neccessities like collar, leash, pet bed, crate if u want, food bowl water bowl (use stainless steel for less bacteria infestation), pee-ppee pads if you need it, proper puppy shampoo, brush, oral hygene, proper toys like KONG to help with teething, natures miracle spot remover for those "wee-wee accidents" -haha just make sure you're well armored with all that stuff.

for walking the dog just make sure all the vaccines are done while they are puppies until 4 months they'll go through 3 series of vaccines.
I didnt take my dog to the cement or grass when he was a puppy just to be on the safe side.

good luck with ur new bundle of joy!!!

I used to have a cockapoo that I adopted from a shelter. He was kind of hard to potty train, but he was my favorite dog. They just LOVE people and petting. Give her lots of love. Barking is a natural habit and all dogs do it, though some do it more then others. Cocks are not a huge barking breed, so I wouldn't worry. Try potty training him as soon as possible. If you wait too long, then it will be a hard habit to brake. I took my cockapoo on two short walks and one long one. When their puppies, just walk as far as they can until they start getting tired. Its great bonding too. Have FUN!

I've had two cockapoo's but they weren't puppies when I got them. They are awesome dogs!!! They will be your very best friend, easy to train too. They have great personalities, non agressive, great with kids and they dont shed much at all. They kind of have hair like people do. Sorry I dont know anything about potty training them. Lots of luck with your pupply, you going to be so happy with your new friend!!

Answer 4

There are a bunch of things you should know about dog training but we are going to discuss what I feel are some the most important. Keep in mind that these are only some of the things you should know. Go here http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?9W7C

1. Repetition is the number 1 principle of dog training. Dogs just like humans learn by doing things over and over in order to get better.

2. Dog Training can and should be fun for both you and your new pet.

3. Training sessions should always be short but sweet. I never work a dog more than 15 minutes in a session to keep from losing the dog's attention. You should train you dog at least once a day but never more than three formal sessions a day.

4. Your goal should be that each training session is just a little bit better than the last one. You need to always strive to make the training better, slowly. I mention this because quite often I see people who do daily training sessions but the dog never gets better and it is not the dogs fault.

5. Having patients is very important in dog training. Losing your temper does not work with a canine it simply makes things worse.

6. Exercise is very important in the training process to get rid of all the dogs nervous energy.

7. Taking your pet for walks is very important because it develops serotonin which gives your dog a feeling of well being.

8. Always be sure to give your dog a bunch of praise in your training. It is your dog's paycheck for doing a great job.

9. Never hit your dog. I have heard people say I never hit my dog instead I roll up a magazine and swat it. It's the same thing... hitting is hitting.

10. After each training session be sure to do something that your dog will enjoy. Take it for a walk, throw the ball or maybe even rub its belly. Just do something that makes the dog look forward to the next training session.

These are things that I teach my dog training students as well as my dog training clients. I hope these things will give you something to think about when training your dog. Spend some time training your dog daily and you will both reap the benefits.
