Hello,
My family and I recently brought home our Cockapoo puppy. A week ago on Tuesday. It's been quite stressful. Having to constantly have all of my attention on him to ensure he doesn't have accidents on the floor, a toddler, and currently very deprived of attention 3.5 y/o Yorkie, Linus. It's been a challenge! Nonetheless, I had a few question regarding my cockapoo, Schroeder.
1) POTTY TRAINING varies for every dog, but how long were your experiences? Any tips?
2) BITING I'm going insane! He doesn't bite constantly by any means. Just when he gets super excited and he loves going after my 3 year old son(he's usually playing on the floor and an easy target) He is a relentless(as expected) biter during those times, nevertheless. Can you recommend any brand of chewing bones?
3) FOOD. I'm giving him Castor & Pollux the Puppy kind. He is doing well on it. I'm interested to know what each of you are feeding your pups!
4) GROOMING. I'm using an OATMEAL shampoo & conditioner. Following his bath tonight, I began drying him and when I finished, I noticed his coat was much less wavy/curly and a big whitr fluff ball! Is this normal?
5) CHERRY EYE. My baby has it in his left eye. :-( It did not make an appearance until he was 6 weeks old, a week before we were to bring him home. I was initially devastated until I did my research. We had already fallen in love with him and could not accept a refund and "move on". I'm curious if there are any owners out there who have dealt with this. We're opting for surgery after he's 6 months old. Was your surgery experience successful? I am aware of the high failure rate(gland pops back out)
Thank you in advance! <3
