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.

Enjoy!

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.

Enjoy!

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:

1. How to realistically assess whether you can afford a Cavoodle, both now and long term
2. Why cheaper puppies can sometimes cost you far more later and what to look for in a breeder
3. The hidden puppy costs people forget
4. Why Cavoodles should not be left home alone five days a week, and what schedules work best for them
5. How travel plans, weekends away, and lack of support can create stress for both you and your puppy
6. Why the age of your children matters more than most families realise, and how it affects biting and over arousal
7. What the real time commitment looks like in the first months, and why the puppy stage feels so intense
8. Why doing the research before your puppy arrives changes everything, and how to set yourself up properly from day one
9. 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. Enjoy ☺️
