Question 2

Do you train the puppies before they go home?

Accepted Answer

We utilize the critical 8-to-12-week developmental window to give your puppy a massive head start in life. Our daily training curriculum focuses on three core pillars: Housebreaking Foundations: We introduce crate training and outdoor potty routines, teaching them bladder control and creating a strong preference for going potty outside. Behavioral Boundaries: We work heavily on crate conditioning (sleeping soundly through the night) and teaching gentle manners, such as curbing puppy biting and jumping. Leash & Command Introduction: Puppies practice wearing a collar and leash, and they are introduced to basic focus commands like "sit" and coming when called. Families are highly encouraged to schedule training classes for their puppy after they go home, but not until after 16 weeks when they are fully vaccinated from PARVO.

Question 3

Grooming Desensitization

Accepted Answer

Both Cavaliers and Cavapoos require lifelong professional coat maintenance, so we make grooming a core part of our training curriculum! Starting at a very young age, our puppies are groomed multiple times a week. This comprehensive routine ensures they are completely desensitized to the entire process before going home at 12 weeks.We focus on making grooming a positive, stress-free experience by consistently practicing the exact sensations they will encounter at a professional salon:Full Blow Drying: Puppies are regularly bathed and dried using a professional loud blow dryer, eliminating the fear of sudden air rushing and loud noises.Tool Desensitization: We frequently handle them with brushes, combs, and nail clippers, teaching them to sit calmly and patiently during maintenance.Sensory Handling: We touch and massage their paws, ears, tails, and faces multiple times a week so they are comfortable being handled by veterinarians and professional groomers.
