Understanding Positive Pet Care and Training Techniques

Hello, my name is Trinity Bernard. Welcome to my site about pet care and training. When I acquired my first pet, I was determined to train him to do all of my favorite tricks. The only problem was that he was a very lazy cat. By using clicker training and high reward treats, I was able to convince him to sit up pretty, jump through hoops and much more. I have successfully used this training technique with many other animals through the years. I will help you approach this process with ease by updating this site with pet care and training content. Please feel free to come back again soon.

If you are searching for a dog for your family and you have been thinking about looking at cockapoo puppies for sale, then you'll want to learn all you can about this type of dog so you can decide if it really is the right choice for your family. This article will teach you some of the main points of the cockapoo breed, so you can have an easier time deciding. Here are some of the things you will want to know about cockapoos:

Cockapoos are not purebred

You may be hearing the term 'cockapoos' so much it has led you to think the breed is a purebred breed; however, this is not the case. A cockapoo is actually a mixed-breed dog that is part cocker spaniel and part poodle. This is where the name 'cockapoo' comes from. Even though this type of dog is mixed, it can often cost the same amount as a purebred. It is what is known as a designer dog and this is a dog bred using two different breeds in order to get certain qualities that each dog offers.

Cockapoos are hypoallergenic

One of the nice things about this breed is the poodle in it makes it good for households where some people in the house have dog allergies. The dander of this mixed breed won't cause people with allergies to experience an attack. This is a great dog to go with if you have a young child that would love to have a dog, but they have never been able to because they have allergies.

Cockapoos are small to medium dogs

Another thing that makes these dogs good choices for a lot of people is their size. They are small to medium dogs and this means they will fit nicely in the smallest of homes. Even if you live in an apartment, you will find that a cockapoo won't take up much room at all.

Cockapoos have a medium amount of energy

A cockapoo will be more than happy to run around and play with the kids for a bit, but then it will be just as happy to curl up at your feet while you read a book or watch a movie. This dog is not a very hyperactive dog, but it's also not what you would consider a lazy dog. However, you do want to be careful when taking it for long walks and hikes. Its small legs mean it has to do a lot more walking to keep up with your strides, and can tire out before you.
