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.

The Cavachon is actually a mixture of two different breeds: the Bichon Frise and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Both of these breeds are on the small size but the parents can range in size. Because of this it can be hard to determine just how big a dog will get when it is full grown. These pups also come in a range of colors as well.

Although it can be tempting to break the bank on items for your new pup, the fact is that you do not need a massive number of items. You should think about a pen or a crate to keep your new pup contained. If you have to go out or you want to work on house training, a crate can be very helpful. Other items include bowls for food and for water. Look for ones that are easy to clean. Also think about some toys. These can be fun to play with and also help your new pooch exercise his or her jaws.

A new dog will usually feel stressed when it is brought into a home. This can mean that they may show unwanted personality traits, negative behaviors and other issues. If you are concerned about your pup being stressed, you may want to search out some of the pheromone products that are available. These are gentle, effective and do not involve medicating a pet to reduce stress.

Many people know they need to baby proof a home but may not realize that they need to puppy proof it. This means getting down at a pup's eye level and see what they see. Look for potentially toxic food or plants. Also make sure that there are no small objects that a puppy could choke on or hurt themselves on. That way you know your home is safe for your new pooch.

Part of getting a pup accustomed to living in your home is house training. Small dogs have small bladders and young dogs may have a hard time going for long periods of time between bathroom trips. You should be prepared to take your new pooch out at regular intervals throughout the day. Some pups may have accidents at night as well. Pee pads have absorbent fronts and waterproof backings. These can be helpful when training any pooch.

You may hear experts talk about socializing a dog. This simply means that you take the time to show it that different people, animals and places are not a threat. Ultimately, a dog that is less fearful is less apt to bite or show aggression. This can be helpful if you plan to travel with your dog.

Any dog has a lot of love to give its owner. By learning how to start your partnership with your canine off on the right foot, you can settle your new pup in and begin to enjoy its company quickly and easily.
