How To Help Your Cavachon Puppy Settle Quickly And Gently

By Lena Stephenson


Adding any new puppy to your home can be an exciting and stressful time. Because you have spent so much time looking for your perfect canine companion, you want to make sure that their first days in your home are as happy and safe as possible. Here are tips that you can use to make sure your new Cavachon puppy has a positive experience from the moment it sets paw in your home.

Many people are not familiar with this breed. It is actually a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. Both of these breeds are small. This breed of dog can range in height and weight however, depending on the size of its parents.

Any dog can benefit from the purchase of some basic care items. You may want to think about getting a crate. You can easily turn this into a fun and relaxing refuge for your new canine. Other things that will be of use will be some grooming tools, bowls for food and water, and some toys to keep your pooch entertained and out of trouble.

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.

It is also a good idea to introduce your new pup to as many people, animals and places as possible. As they get used to different situations, they will learn that they do not need to be afraid. Many dogs that are aggressive are this way because they are afraid of strange people, animals or places.

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.
