How To Prepare Your Home For Your New Cavachon Puppy

By Lena Stephenson


A new dog can be one of the most exciting things you can add to your home. Whether you want a young dog or an older one, learning how to introduce it properly to your family can help set up any future relationship on a positive footing. If you are thinking about getting a Cavachon puppy, here is what you need to know to make sure they are happy in your home.

This is a type of dog that is becoming much more popular. People like their small size and their calm, non-aggressive personalities. Unlike some dogs that are purebred, this cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise can range in size and color.

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.

It can be a good idea to check your home over before you bring your new canine into it. You can look for small or dangerous items that the pup may chew on or accidentally swallow. Some types of food can be toxic for dogs and if the item is hard, a dog could accidentally choke on it. You may be surprised what you can find if you get down on a puppy's level and see what you can find.

Housebreaking is one area where many new owners run into trouble. Small dogs come with small bladders. This may mean that they need to go out on a regular (and frequent basis). If you are unable or unwilling to take your pup out every hour to two hours, you may want to consider investing in puppy pads. These have a waterproof back and a front which will absorb urine. Some are scented so that the dogs are attracted to them.

You may hear experts talk about socializing a dog. This simply means that you take the time to show it that different people, animals and places are not a threat. Ultimately, a dog that is less fearful is less apt to bite or show aggression. This can be helpful if you plan to travel with your dog.

By learning what your new canine companion needs to feel safe and comfortable, you can help avoid problems many new dog owners face. Whether it is helping to reduce stress or introducing your pup to new and unusual situations to help it build confidence, you can be sure that your emerging partnership will only strengthen over the years to come.
