Join Cavoodle Coach & Breeder, Tiana Karamihas, as she shares bite-sized episodes all about raising Cavoodles. From training, socialising, desensitising and grooming, this Podcast will be looking at the Cavoodle breed in particular and discussing what training they need to reach their full potential and fit into YOUR particular lifestyle.
Okay, this one is a BIG one! One of the most common concerns I hear from new Cavoodle families and one that is completely warranted. Let's have a chat about whether your Cavoodle is really that fussy or maybe, if they have a nose that isn't working properly.

You take your puppy outside to the toilet, they refuse to go, and then you bring them back inside only for them to lock eyes with you and squat...peeing all over your carpet. Frustration and helplessness bubbles inside of you, leaving you wondering if your puppy is having all of these accidents in spite of you - because it really looks that way. Does this situation sound familiar? It's normal if it does and today we're going to be unpacking toilet training struggles for Cavoodles and strategies to have them fully toilet trained in a matter of a few short weeks. Enjoy!

Imagine having a puppy who sleeps for 20-22 hours a day, doesn't bite you, jump on you, chew your furniture or have excessive energy. Imagine having a puppy who sleeps beside you as you watch TV and relaxes in the living room when you have friends over. Finally, imagine having a puppy who lies quietly at your feet at the coffee shop and doesn't cry or bark for attention from everyone who walks past you. Sounds like a pipe dream right? Well, what if I told you it's POSSIBLE and something 100+ Cavoodle families who have followed my Essential Cavoodle Puppy Planner program have achieved? In today's episode on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on what you need to do with a Cavoodle puppy to get them to sleep and relax in your home, as well as behave calmly and politely while awake.

I know the topic of Pet Insurance is a big one and it can be very overwhelming deciding whether to invest in a policy or not. So I decided to be really transparent and share the total cost of all of my Cavoodle, Joey's, vet visits over the last 6 months vs the amount we've spent on Pet Insurance to see if we've saved money or not. I also share the name of the Pet Insurance company we're with and some extra details on what costs to expect when you first bring a puppy home.

"My puppy won't stop biting but it's okay, they'll grow out of it." "My puppy keeps jumping all over my kids and visitors! But they're just excited and will grow out of it once they're no longer a puppy." "My puppy won't slow down and rest but they're just a puppy and still learning. They'll grow out of it when they're an adult!" "My puppy won't listen to me but it's okay, I'll train them once they're older." Do any of these phrases sound familiar to you? Maybe you share some of these beliefs and that's okay. It's a common misconception that puppies behave in a certain way because of their age and once they get older, they grow out of it. Unfortunately, it's not this simple and I'm sharing the reality of "naughty puppy behaviour" in today's episode and how we need to be addressing it.

"Cavoodles are easy". Well...they can be. But it's not without some sacrifice. If you're getting a Cavoodle I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode so you can understand what you need to be doing with your puppy to ensure they're "easy" to have within your home. Because whether you want to believe it or not, Cavoodles are prone to some serious anxiety-related behavioural issues that can completely restrict your lifestyle & end in destroyed furniture, endless crying, sleepless nights, and chewed shoes.

Toilet Training should be one of everyone's top goal when they bring their Cavoodle home. The good news is, a puppy can be toilet trained within a few short weeks but they can also have accidents for years to come. It all depends on what plan you follow when you bring your puppy home and what your understanding of being "toilet trained" actually looks like. Today, I'm going to be sharing what having "toilet trained" dogs looks like for me and what often causes a big regression for new Cavoodle families.

When a family is getting a new puppy, one of the first questions they ask a Breeder is "how big will my puppy get?". Now, while I do believe this should be one of the last questions you should ask (and should instead be asking about the temperament training the Breeder does through their curriculum program), I DO understand why this is an important factor to many families. However, instead of asking for the weight prediction, I recommend asking the Breeder the following question instead to give you a more reliable indication on how big your puppy will grow to.

Before starting my business specialising in Cavoodles, I worked as a Puppy School Trainer and it opened my eyes to a few key facts about the type of training done in these classes and their suitability to different breeds. As always, Cavoodles are at the forefront of my mind and I must say, Puppy School isn't my first pick when it comes to training this breed and shaping them into a "good dog".

In my mind, it was cruel to cage a puppy up like that and I couldn't understand how it could be beneficial at all - let alone not actually be cruel or mean.

Overthinking & overcomplicating things is THE recipe for overwhelm, especially for new puppy parents. So today, let's pretend we're sitting down for a cup of coffee while I give you my best advice for a new Cavoodle parent which will ensure this overwhelm is something you never experience (while also saving you money $$$).

Have you ever sat in front of friends and called your puppy over, only for them not to listen? The embarrassment you feel in these situations is universal but I promise it doesn't actually mean your puppy has "selective hearing". Instead, 9 times out of 10, it's because of one of these THREE mistakes that you're making that is preventing your puppy from actually understanding what you're asking of them. Check out the three mistakes in the episode below!

You may have heard about Positive Reinforcement Training which is where we use treats to train our puppies rather than any force or punishment. This style of training is SO well suited to our emotionally-sensitive Cavoodles but today, I wanted to talk to you about the importance of implementing strict boundaries within your household and especially, the word NO with your new puppy.

Last year, I was lucky enough to join RightPaw on their “What The Bark” Podcast
The amount of times someone has said to me, "Boy dogs are more affectionate and playful while girl dogs are more standoffish," is insane! And everytime I hear it, I internally wince because it's so far from the truth. We cannot continue to make generalisations about the temperament of dogs based on their gender and a family definitely should NOT be making such a huge, 15 year commitment based off these claims. So in today's episode, I want to explain what information a family SHOULD be basing their decisions on when getting a puppy.

When I started breeding four years ago, no one talked about a "curriculum program" for puppies. Now, there are countless Breeders who do follow a curriculum program which is GREAT. ...However, I must say that a generic curriculum program that ISN'T designed specifically for Cavoodles isn't really going to address the behavioral issues that are most common to the breed (which is anxiety). So in episode 7 of the Cavoodle Coach Podcast, I wanted to sit down and speak about what a curriculum program for Cavoodles should look like and what mind-blowing benefits it'll have on your puppy's behaviour and personality. As a bonus, you'll also understand how this will change the first few months with your new puppy from being overwhelming and full of sacrifice, crying, toileting accidents and barking, to completely seamless and anxiety free.

Every dog breed has a specific breed purpose with a list of attributes that drive their daily behaviour. When these behaviours are not given the opportunity to be expressed in a natural way, behavioural issues form and a dog suddenly becomes very restrictive and troublesome to a family's lifestyle. Here's my story on how my family went from a dog who caused more issues than we could count, to discovering the Cavoodle which changed our lives forever.

When getting a puppy and choosing a breed, it's important we delve below the surface to really determine what type of puppy is right for YOU. Did you know that each puppy has its own personality determined by a set of traits that they are born with, AS WELL as a set of traits that can be adjusted with training? In episode 2 of the Cavoodle Coach Podcast, I'm explaining these different personality traits and how they give us an insight on what type of home/lifestyle would suit a puppy best. After all, a puppy who isn't having all its needs met is a puppy who develops behavioural issues such as barking, digging, furniture destroying, separation anxiety and so.much.more. If you want to learn what Cavoodle puppy personality traits would suit your family best, listen to EPISODE #2 of the Cavoodle Coach Podcast below!

Hi! Welcome to the Cavoodle Coach Podcast - Rebooted! I am so excited you're here, sharing my love for Cavoodles. I first started this podcast back in 2022 and have since had a hiatus of over a year. During this time, I have further developed my Cavoodle Breeding Program, here in Brisbane, Australia, while also launching some online Cavoodle courses -> Oodleway: Puppy Prep, Puppy Train & Home Groom. To kick off this new season of the Podcast, I wanted to answer all of YOUR questions. So I reached out to my audience on Instagram and asked them what they wanted to know. Here's what I've answered in this episode: ABOUT ME/BREEDING: How can you say you have x amount of years experience when you yourself are so young? Tell us about the most rewarding aspects of breeding for you as an individual? How has your work shaped you as a person? What is the single most difficult element of breeding such high value puppies? Do you find other breeders of individuals in your industry are supporting each other to do well or is it a matter where everyone is only interested in themselves? How can we encourage more open dialogue within the industry? Would you be open to being a mentor for a new breeder? How do you breed the puppies in your home and contain the smell? Especially when they start eating and pooping on their own? What items would you recommend for birthing? Advice you would give another breeder looking to grow and expand the business but is stuck? How do you test the temperament when picking up a puppy? Is there a possibility that in the future you might breed F1 Cavoodles as well as F1bs? How do you effectively screen your puppy families & what do you do if communication deteriorates? HEALTH & GROOMING: How do you keep your Cavoodle's eyes clean? My dog doesn't like when I groom his face. Any tips on how I can get him used to it? My puppy is always hungry! How do I know if I'm feeding him enough? Have you heard of the two does vaccination? Seems like a new thing (I could be wrong) thoughts? I'm moving across the world with my Cavoodle, any tips to make sure they're safe? TRAINING: My 15wk old Cavoodle is turning into a bit of a barker. How do I change this behaviour? Can you talk about crate training and how to increase their time in there happily? Any tips for teaching good recall skills? Struggling at the moment As always, these answers were off the top of my head and I always strive to be as open & honest as I can. I hope that they are helpful to you and the stage you are in with raising your Cavoodle.
