I wish all new dog owners were as insightful and real! The humping in females is really common and I’m glad you brought it up. It is usually attributed to displaying (or attempting to) dominance. She may be trying to move up in the “pack”. Be firm with stopping this behavior. If you watch dogs, they rarely allow another dog to do this. It’s not necessarily sexual, just dominance.

Dont believe everything you read online , you must have lucked out i dont know anyone that has had a problem with a cockerpoo, in fact im so impressed ive just got one.

How long do they stay in heat and swollen? Where I don't have to worry a out getting pregnant ????

I have owned a cockapoo for 3 years and this video is BS. My cockapoo has zero allergies. Perfect family dog and companion, great with children, easily trained, hypoallergenic (but no dog is 100% hypoallergenic) and this breed has very few cons. We are on top of his grooming which is essential for this breed, so if you are not ready to spend and groom often, then this breed is not for you.

“Raising a dog” 😂🤣😂. You’re not a parent. You are a dog owner. Not trying to be mean, but c’mon

Thank you this helps alot.

I have a female shi-tzu and she's now 9 days in to her first heat. She is now 9 month old and have been bleeding for 9 days. But now it start to be less bleeding. She has been very klingy and little more careful around other dogs she don't know. She has bin eating a lot, always begging for more food and treats. Also her vulva is quite swollen and looks like it is a little painful in the beginning. We are planning to spay her when she is 3 month out of heat. This is my first puppy ( we have to had 2 other dogs before but we first get them when they were 4 & 6 years old) So this video was very helpful to see that our dog it's quite normal in her behavior. Thanks for this informative video ❤

Hi, I am 8 week old Cockapoo & need every single advice I can get 😂 this was very helpful x

Thank you. Needed this advice 👍

Dogs rule lady

Need to be groomed ocassionaly,fed and loved what more is there?

My boy will eat everything tried a grape yday he liked it apples salad just anything but he has a problem around food i got him from a rescue he is 4 so no knowing what he was treated like but you carnt walk near his food if it's a treat he will go off to the bedroom if i go in bedroom he looks so savage growling at me protecting the treat I just back away telling him it's his noone will take it away so I'm working on that !

Thank you this gave me so much more understanding of what my Baby Bella Havanese is going through, she’s so clingy, she wants to go outside more than usual , and she definitely lost her appetite… I try to make sure she gets her water intake .any more tips will help thank you

I have a 20 month old and when she barks it’s very loud and frightening but she’s just so excited. Every morning we have snuggles and it just melts my heart. We love the forest and woods. She’s super friendly and loves cashing rabbits but won’t harm a fly. Amazes me with everything she does.

I've had female dogs all my life and actually.The very first sign is usually then peeing a lot in different areas trying to mark their territory. My current pup went into heat last week😂 I noticed her getting very clingy to me and wanting to just pee everywhere. You're going to see that before you see any sign of bleeding or swollen vulva

I am going to say this with the nicest intention behind but - I think it’s important to love and let her personality shine too. My puppy barked a lot in the first 2 months, right now I let her chose everything that’s possible and won’t harm me others or her, and with that choice comes emotional regulation and she basically never barks. Only if she is frustrated or really feels like she isn’t being heard. I let her dig too. She actually doesn’t do it as much, of course it will make her dirty but it’s the best emotional regulation for her. I also have a picky eater and the update you wrote works - I believe it’s my own fault she turned picky. I also love her stubbornness and sassiness. I however notice the more freedom she gets to chose and be herself the more she will listen in the moments when I need her to listen to me. Like especially on the walks … giving my puppy more choices has been the best thing I have learned about having a dog and it has truly changed our relationship 🙏🏻🥰

Excellent advice, thank you!

thank you very much!!!! my dog luna Ausie doodle jus had her first heat.

We have had 5 cockerpoos, all raised from puppies. Not a single one of them ever dug up anything. We own a farm, the dogs were out alot, they were not diggers. They are VERY smart, train quickly, and extremely loyal.

My partner and I are getting our first puppy a cockapoo on May 3rd, he will be 12 weeks old on May 12th, his breeder is having him fully vaccinated and microchipped, and bringing him to us, and providing a puppy hamper too, his breeder is my hairdresser! We've met him and his 3 siblings and mummy Dottie. Both his parents are cockapoo's. His first injection was today, and he weighs 4.2kg. He is chocolate brown, with a cream goaty on his chin and strip going down his belly, with cream on his underside paws. We have named him Bodhi, and can't wait for him to come home. He is going to change our lives and we are so excited about it ❤❤❤

Great info

Once/twice a year i go thru the most my boy doesn’t eat or sleep, bc of my girl, the first 4-5 days are cool but the rest of the 13 days im not sleeping bc my boy doesn’t stop crying for her🫠

Hi. I have a 13 weeks old cockapoo and she is already a digger. My cocker spaniel was a digger, she lived to 12 years old. I have no advice except go with the flow. Think of them as yard traps for intruders. Your dog is protecting you, LOL. It is part of the dogs personality. You will miss the holes when your beautiful Millie has passed. I am now happy to see holes in my yard again. Have a nice day.

Thank you!!

This was brilliant and just the information I needed and have been looking for, thank you!

Millie is so pretty! Beautiful markings. I love the long black lashes against her light cream fur. My English Cream Goldendoodle and my Havanese both have long light lashes. 💝

It sounds to me like you are mot the dogs alpha. A dog humps to show they are over you. I had dogs since i been a todler and 66 now and none of my dogs humped me. Yes i had a cockapoo for 13 years. She only barked a little when she was excited i came home or if someone knocked on door. I would as alpha say hood jon for telling me and i said ok i got it. She was lovely in every way. Jit seems most people with dog problems are not being the alpha, sobif you dont lead they will since they are pack animals

You need your own TV show. Thank you for this video. ❤ Peace + Love.

You totally described the opposite of all the cockapoos man sell him and get a cat

I’m a a senior citizen, recently widowed. My daughter in law felt I needed a companion, so her and my son bought Molly for me. I’m very active, independent and wasn’t 100% sure I wanted a puppy at my age..you know, the inconvenience of having this little being dependent on me. BUT..she was so adorable when I saw her at 6 weeks old, that I said yes, to getting her.. I will say, a puppy of any breed, especially, a high energy puppy/dog is not for the faint of heart! The only thing positive about Molly at the time (at nearly 8 wks old) was that she slept 9-10 hours a night (and still does now at 7 months old), and that she took naps during the day, and loved to cuddle. THEN, as time went on the very high energy grew and grew. She chewed practically everything in sight, her favorites being socks, shoes, slippers, throw rugs. As i disciplined, I also started putting things where she couldn’t reach them, the rugs totally put in different rooms, baby gates help..She’s a jumper (but getting better). Molly was constantly under foot, staying close to me most of the time.. where at one time I could come and go as I pleased, I could no longer leave the house without putting her first as far as how long I should be gone, (a little resentment was setting in) or when she needed to eat, or go potty (crate training is wonderful for your pup and you). Those first two months were extremely trying for me and I’m sure for her too. She only had a couple accidents in the house, and was ‘asking’ to go outside by the time she was 9-10 weeks old. She started understanding that chewing on things like table feet and woodwork were wrong! She started learning that her toys were all she was free to play with and allowed to chew away on. She started learning commands such as “sit” being the very first. I’d toss or throw a toy and within minutes, she learned, “get it,” “bring it,” “drop it,” and “sit” before getting her training treats (I watch a couple online dog trainers), and then the fetching could continue. My son suggested instead of putting her in a small crate in the back seat of my car, that I should put her up front on the passenger side and take her places with me! Was he crazy!? Though they all have their own personalities, there are I’m finding, a lot of similarities in the cockapoo. Molly is 7 months old now. We are still working on the jumping and manners when she’s around other people. She loves people so much that she cannot contain herself, and hops all over the unexpected visitor. She’s excellent with other dogs. She doesn’t dig at this point, and with a newly installed fence, I hope it stays this way. Those first few months made me wonder what on earth was I thinking saying yes (at my age) to accepting this puppy. Well, now I know. Molly sleeps all night long, greets me happily each morning, (and with a leash for now) calmly goes out to do her morning ritual..eats the same puppy food I’ve been buying from the beginning, lays at or on my feet as I do dishes, fix my hair, etc. happily plays fetch several times a day, now runs freely in the back yard and does not bark back the three little dogs that bark at her. She understands more and more commands, especially, one of the most important, “Molly come,” so important for their safety. She loves carrots, blueberries, and ice cubes. I now happily and routinely and comfortably know I can leave the house (her in her cozy crate), and be gone for 2-4 hours with no problem. By 8:30 or 9:00 in the evening, she’s winding down, laying on my lap, then at, or on my feet. By 10:00 she’s in crate and it’s the end to another day. I no longer mind that the whole routine of my life dramatically changed because of this little Molly. She is another wonderful reason to wake up each morning. She loves me unconditionally, and tries her best to please me. She makes me laugh, we frustrate each other..but more than anything, I love her. Oh, by the way, after a trial ride around the block with her by my side, she surprised me and stayed put. She now eagerly hops in the car, and patiently and regally sits in the passenger side while we drive here and there. My son is so smart! And my daughter-in-law knew all along what I needed…Molly!

Great information. I have a female Malinois going through her first heat at just 13 months. I am planning to get her fixed at about 18 months.

They are a stupid breed.. my cuckapoo is barking at the door right now.. annoying dogs, don't get one.

Pup’s eyelashes are incredible!

Thank you so much for that information it's a big help since I am now considering about getting a dog information you have given is very very helpful thank you so much and by the way Millie is so cute what a fluff ball☺️

What’s your favourite colour?

My dogs have never eaten canned dog food of any variety. I cook for him every few day becuse he wont eat frozen food that been defrosted. Its aways organic mainly prime rib or samon or chicken. With vegetables and brown rice. He does eat dry food but l have to get it from the vet. And l bake his treats myself. And only give him purified water. Worth every cent. If l had to l would live on beans and rice. Too.keep feeding him the way he likes😊

Good God if Millie was my dog she would get prime rib every night. TOO GORGEOUS!!!❤❤😊😊😊

Thanks for the great description in simple terms. Well done!

The most important thing to do is train your dog correctly. It's the owners fault if they do things wrong.

Picking up my first ever puppy and dog on Monday.. shes a 14wk cavalier king charles spaniel. I'm so excited!

Firstly dogs bark some more than others. A lot bark if they r bired or under stimulated second digging, sniffing etc is a great outlet for bored or under stimulated dogs I encourage Bob to sniff and dig on nearly every walk. Cockapoos r bred from to working gun dogs poodles and spaniels are also retrievers if the gave scent work, retrieving work digging and sniffing they will calm down alot lol. I have an 18 month old cockapoo who was a nightmare ive just found all this info out in the last couple if months now I'm giving him hes breed specific jobs he is sooooooo much better, we r a work in progress but it's a fun journey ❤❤❤

Do you ever praise her?

Suggest YOU get trained in how to care and treat a dog.

This is ridiculous. I’ve owned two Cockapoos. The ONLY thing in this video I agree with the digging of holes. Please take her video with a pinch of salt.

My plunky is everything mentioned in the video. Love her so much

Will have to try doggy nappies but she has a tendency to chew anything off of her. Will try this for sure though just to see how she responds to them.

Hold on… are her lashes real?! I’m screaming she’s so so cute

They bark incessantly. Very annoying for neighbours lol I’m Not talking a few normal barks either, starts @ 06:30am, anytime in evening & night & if i happen to be out in the garden at the same time I get a barrage every time. Think twice before getting one of these if you live in close proximity to others, & are considerate.

She's so cute God bless you both!

My dog is bleeding soooo much. I mean blood everywhere. Is this normal?
