Our cockapoo puppy, Rosie, just turned 5 months this past week. One problem we've been having consistently is her desire to bite us during play (usually on the hands, arms, or torso). It isn't accidental biting (i.e. accidentally grabbing us when lunging for a toy)--she targets our appendages...

I have an 11 week old Cockapoo named Levi. Both my boyfriend and I are able to bring Levi with us to work and have been doing so back and forth since we got him. We started training yesterday and we asked our trainer about possibly leaving Levi at home some days if our schedules are too busy to...

Hi all, have had my adorable puppy Atticus almost a week! The first 3 days he had NO accidents in the house....I was shocked and delighted! Nothing has really changed, but I'm scared he got traumatized somehow because now everyday he has peed and pooped at least once in the house. I still let...

Hey All! We just got ourselves a cute lil fella last Saturday and his name is Trevor. He's my first puppy so I'm on my toes around him. My SO Chris had 2 German shepherds so I'm glad has some experience on raising and training puppies. :D Trevor doesn't look like a cockapoo I've been told he...

I finally brought home my lovely little toy cockerpoo, Lola. She's been with us for 4 days, and although I'd braced myself for the worst--I've been reading this forum for a month and was ready with wine and chocolate for the hard times--she's been an absolute darling--though I still believe this...

Hello! I'm trying to get everything ready before my Cockapoo Puppy arrives sept. 10th! I've read that Crate Training is the way to go! However, due to how far away my home is to work it would be impossible to let him out of his crate every 2-3 hours, especially as a puppy. Therefore, I'm...

So my boy has reached 10 months this March and he has gone nuts! He's chewing on everything and has unlimited energy! I suppose this is to be expected since he's 10 months, but I'm wondering if you guys had any tips on curbing his energy, and engaging his mind? He's pretty smart, and loves to...

Hi guys! I am going to be a brand new dog owner and I pick up my Chowder on Satuday. I am deliriously excited, but I am concerned about what to feed him at 8 weeks and when I should start trying to potty train him. Is now a good time for dry food and potty training?

Hi all I had two middle aged cats before my pup arrived, and having always had cats and dogs together as a kid, I assumed all would settle down in time. I am looking for reassurance that this will happen! I have taken things v slowly, put a stairgate on the kitchen door and kept the pup in the...

Dexter has just started going for his walks and already he is trying to run off ahead. How do you teach a dog to walk by your side? I'm very keen to stop him from pulling asap - I already have one dog taking me for a walk - I don't need a second! I would appreciate any good tips!

Well we reached the magic day of Poppy being allowed out for a walk. It took ages just to walk down the road as there were so many new smells but Poppy seemed very happy. We met a mum pushing her buggy with 2 small kids holding on to either side of the pushchair so it looked like a very large...
