Pre-Trained Puppy & Supplies
How we train our puppies
Puppy training is a process. We are doing some specific things to help our cavapoo puppies get a great start in the training process. Our goal is to have a good start for you with potty training when you pick up. We are also training your pups to chew on toys, and not fingers when they are teething and playful. They are learning through our intentional daily interaction with us, which we love! Cavapoos are intelligent, and are considered easier to train than many other breeds.
By four weeks of age (or sooner) we are training our puppies to use the reusable dog grass. Ours pups are using these 80% or more of the time. We are in contact with pups that have gone home with great success in potty training and can provide references upon request. We are amazed how quickly they pick up on it, and how often they get it right. See below for more of our training strategies and products.
DOG GRASS
We always keep dog grass in easy reach for the puppies. They learn to use it consistently. If you purchase dog grass, it can continue to be used indoors, or brought outside for outdoor training.

We spray this regularly on the dog grass. It encourages the pups to use it. Another different spray can also be purchased to deter away from other areas.

DOG PLAYPEN
We use this type of playpen to protect puppies while they play. They are contained and still gives them freedom to happily move around.

CHEW TOYS
We provide these toys to teach the pups to chew on toys, instead of other things. Puppies are teething. We discourage playful chewing on fingers or any other items in order to create good long-term habits.

ADJUSTABLE GROWTH DOG CRATE
We do not crate train pups here as they are together with Momma dog and siblings. However, we highly recommend crate training for sleeping. Using a crate with a divider panel is especially helpful as you can expand the space as your puppy grows. Initially, pups only need enough space to comfortably lay down. This helps them with potty training only outside the crate/sleeping area. It's helpful for the dog to be able to safely sleep in a crate for a future dog sitter, or when traveling together.
XXS DOG HARNESS
We do not reccommend a collar for Mini Cavapoos, because their necks can be easily injured. Instead we use a dog harness. Each brand is sized differently ,but our puppies usually fit best in size XXS. They r puppies tend to be 2.5 - 3.5 lbs when they go home.
Electric Pet Fence
Our dogs love running in the yard. We have this fence and collar system. We have also used the PetSafe wireless pet fence, which does not require a buried wire, and is somewhat portable.
GROOMING SUPPLIES
Many owners choose to bring their dog to a groomer.
If you should choose to groom your own dog, here are some of the supplies we use for grooming.
