Socialization is a crucial aspect of your Cavapoo puppy's development. Proper exposure to various environments, people, and other animals helps prevent behavioral issues and fosters a well-adjusted adult dog.


Introducing Your Puppy to New Experiences


  • Gradual Exposure: Start by introducing your puppy to different sights, sounds, and smells in a controlled manner.
  • Positive Reinforcement: Reward your puppy with treats and praise when they respond calmly to new experiences.
  • Controlled Interactions: Arrange playdates with other vaccinated and friendly dogs to encourage positive social behavior.

 Meeting Resident Pets

 

  • Supervised Introductions: Keep initial meetings short and supervised, using leashes or barriers if necessary.
  • Monitor Body Language: Watch for signs of stress or aggression, and separate the animals if needed.
  • Gradual Integration: Increase the duration and frequency of interactions as the animals become more comfortable with each other.

Health Precautions

  • Vaccination Schedule: Avoid exposing your puppy to public places or unknown animals until they have completed their vaccination series, typically by 4–5 months of age.

  • Safe Environments: Choose clean and secure locations for socialization to minimize health risks.

By thoughtfully introducing your Cavapoo to the world around them, you lay the foundation for a confident and sociable companion.
