How To Help Your Cavachon Puppy Settle Quickly And Gently

By Lena Stephenson


A new dog can be one of the most exciting things you can add to your home. Whether you want a young dog or an older one, learning how to introduce it properly to your family can help set up any future relationship on a positive footing. If you are thinking about getting a Cavachon puppy, here is what you need to know to make sure they are happy in your home.

This is a type of dog that is becoming much more popular. People like their small size and their calm, non-aggressive personalities. Unlike some dogs that are purebred, this cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise can range in size and color.

It can be helpful to prepare by purchasing some basic equipment. While some people choose not to crate-train their dog, it can be a helpful tool when housebreaking a young dog and a safe place to leave an older dog when it cannot be supervised. Food bowls, brushes, pet shampoo and a few toys can also be great things to buy for your new canine.

Most people do not realize how much stress a dog will experience when it is taken from one home and is placed in another. A pup may be missing its litter mates. It also has to learn about the people it is now living with and get used to its role in your family. Sometimes the stress that a canine is feeling can show up as negative behavior. A product such as a calming pheromone can help to reduce or eliminate some of this stress.

It can be a good idea to check your home over before you bring your new canine into it. You can look for small or dangerous items that the pup may chew on or accidentally swallow. Some types of food can be toxic for dogs and if the item is hard, a dog could accidentally choke on it. You may be surprised what you can find if you get down on a puppy's level and see what you can find.

House training can be frustrating and challenging. Most new owners are not aware of just how frequently they will need to take their new pup outside. If you find it difficult to take your canine out frequently enough you may want to think about investing in waterproof pads. These are absorbent and will soak up urine which is trapped by the plastic backing.

Although many people do not realize this, dogs that are fearful are usually the most aggressive. If you want to make sure that your dog has a lower chance of being aggressive, introducing it to different people and places is important. Just remember to be patient and your dog will quickly learn that it does not need to fear the different things that it is introduced to.

Taking the time to get your new canine used to your home can help ensure that your bond with them grows quickly and deeply. Then you will be amazed at how much love and affection your new pup has to give.
