What do I do. When he doesn't take food and I did the excitingly moves he starts crying and whimpering and shaking.

He's a small dog

I have had poms too and cockapoos are ABSOLUTELY more work to groom! But you’ll get the hang of it! ❤️

I have an update....I tried your techniques and by the 2nd try my dog Maggie was asking to go out! She walked all the way to the treeline by where the neighbors live. We don't live in a hugely quiet neighborhood. She was so excited to be outside because I just went for it😂. I kept thinking of how you said to be a fitness instructor so that's what I did and boy did it work!😅 I was high energy....silly...ridiculous and loud, but it worked! She will do anything for a blueberry. Now I know her superpower! 😅 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

im going through the same thing with my 6 month old puppy, especially the harness thing. Have you seen any improvement since you posted this comment?

@@KaylaAndrews-cy1gq we moved so I believe whatever he outdoor fears were have improved. I ditched the harness and have been using a collar. We skipped a few days of walk and just did outdoor play so I think that helped with the excitement of wanting to go for a walk again. Switching from a harness to a collar definitely helped but really have to stay consistent with loose leash walking

same here! also have a foster who is terrified of the outside noises and she's big with food but once outside she stops caring for food

I totally agree! I start exposing the babies to clippers and put the clipper body for the vibration on the puppies around 2 weeks of age while they're nursing. They'll stop nursing for a second sometimes but then they go back to eating. I do this a couple times a week and then starting around 4 weeks of age I start cleaning paw pads when I clip nails once a week and I give them a mini sanitary trim on that same day. Keeping their feet clean helps with potty training which I start around 5 weeks of age, and I handle their feet daily since they're born. Even with all of that they still clearly don't like having their feet messed with, but they just look patient and slightly annoyed instead of flopping or screaming! Haha. I try to get them to explore the edges of the grooming table, too, so that they're less likely to fall off. I feel like doing this is making a difference. I have had a couple groomers tell my families how happy they were at the first groom. But if the owners don't pick up where I leave off and they ignore grooming for months and get the dog matted or just not handled I think a lot of that work would be for nothing. Grooming seems to be a huge modern issue with doodles and poodle mixes. I've been on groomer groups online to get tips and tricks and I have seen such frustration and physical break down of the body wrestling with untrained dogs. The things owners aren't being told, etc. I am NOT gonna contribute to that problem if I can help it. Grooming my own dogs has been a very eye opening experience for me. Groomers seriously deserve every single penny, and honestly a lot more than they make. The job is hard, exhausting, and potentially dangerous. Nobody really thinks about how a dog that bites a groomer can end their career or seriously harm it. They think of their dog, but anyway, off my soapbox. LOL Anyway, I appreciate the feedback!! And honestly, any suggestions my way I will appreciate! I do struggle getting them to remain standing. LOL I haven't figured that out yet apart from patiently standing them back up until I can be annoying enough that they give up. Haha.

Well hes 12 weeks old. I hope he is still with the mother

@@louismccomack9524 12 weeks is 3 months. Puppies often go to their new home at 8 weeks, as this is the best time for them to bond with their new people.
