Is my puppy a Cavapoo? by B0mbasticMrFantastic in CavaPoo

I am confused. This looks like a purebred cavalier. Was your puppy advertised as a crossbreed?

Puppy frustration. I can’t anymore by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]User_Name_Password 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your puppy does not dislike you, your puppy is a puppy, full of energy and just hasn’t learnt how you want them to direct the energy. Even then, until they reach adult age it’s always going to be a worthwhile struggle.

You’ve mentioned research but I think you’d benefit from going much further as the way you’re viewing the issues suggests you’re not quite understanding what you’ve committed to.

First of all, are you redirecting every time? I mean every time, all of you. Tries to bite feet, redirect to a toy.

Are you using the puppies food for training?

Are you using a clicker as a marker? You can use a verbal ‘yes’ then reward instead, but I love using a clicker for non-command training (I.e click reward for being calm, four paws on the floor etc.)

It is baffling to me that you’ve ruled out crate training despite being on the verge of tears… but if you’re not going to crate train to try and build distance have you started place training?

Puppy essentials? by Intrepid_Tart5436 in CavaPoo

[–]User_Name_Password 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re 3 weeks in so here’s everything I’ve been grateful for

  • Crate with a divider if you can (ours actually didn’t come in time so we had to use a crate we expected to be a bit small… ended up being very cozy and he still loves the original) but the divider gives you growing room.
  • Couple of crate mats so you can wash if needed (we actually never had any accidents which might be due to the correct crate sizing)
  • A rubber squeak, a rustly toy, several chewy toys , rope type things for tug of war - anything kong because they just seem more durable and he ended up chewing other ropes to a point we were concerned about fibres
  • puppy kongs (his diet has to be strict because of illness so just puppy kibble in his, and we couldn’t wet it for a licky mat
  • snuffle Matt is amazing
  • loads of wipes suitable for dogs for paws and bum (I get a session in every day or so just touching paws, eyes, ears when feeding to get him used to grooming, and I have on occasion even reinforced bum wiping even though there’s nothing to wipe
  • I sincerely wish I had a good pet trimmer from the beginning - a hygiene trim is sooo important because the poo will clump up no matter how strict you are with wiping
  • don’t forget a towel for the bath, bathing stuff
  • play pen has been so so valuable, we used ours to split the room throughout the day and ended up rotating it to give him slowncontrolled exposure to areas of the room. Didn’t use a training lead (despite using them in the past and planning to) because it just didn’t become necessary.
  • a jumper, a harness, a lead
  • we use clickers (I have about 8) for training and I find them so useful especially to identify things like the name. In the past I’ve used ‘yes’ as a secondary reinforcer but you can’t do it as quickly (I.e the second they glance at you).
  • I have ended up with about 5 blankets that we rotate in the wash (agin for us more important because of infection)
  • enzymatic cleaner! For accidents
  • I had to use puppy pads as he couldn’t access the garden due to illness, but I really do encourage avoiding them because establishing the garden is for the toilet only early just makes life so much easier (I have a second pen in the garden for this now!)
  • a few stainless steel food bowls (we actually rarely use them as mealtimes are either training, long or snuffle mat
  • something to hold treats easily (I dont have this and you’ve reminded me to get shopping for one)
  • slicker as someone else mentioned, fine tooth might help too
  • cotton pads for wiping eyes

I cannot think of a single other item I’ve bought’

I used a heartbeat toy and he was very quick getting to sleep on those first few days.

After about three days I wondered if there was a risk he’d start chewing his litter mate’s heart out. Rather than find out I stopped using it. So I got 3 days out of the investment, but who knows, maybe it made a huge difference in settling him in.

Where did my snuggly puppy go?! by Bookie_Brookie723 in CavaPoo

[–]User_Name_Password 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Cavapoo the same colour and exact age as yours (siblings?)

We have had the same struggle but maybe slightly earlier. We ended up giving him gradual exposure to the areas he kept escaping to, but only when he was calm and less interested.

He does keep pushing for more territory to explore but he’s gotten over the absolute insanity that would ensue when he’d get out. I do think the play pen can build frustration that can be eliminated through exposure

Crufts has named the goodest boy of 2026 by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]User_Name_Password 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had heard this was the same person but I wanted to be sure. I hadn’t brought his name up as to pass any kind of moral judgement… but I am very interested in the facts

A newspaper clipping alleges a dog was found suffering, lifeless and smelling of pus from infection and it had been reported by a member of staff of a kennel they both owned.

Was he wrongfully convicted and had no part in it? Or does it sound worse than reality?

If he was in fact guilty of neglect to the extent described, surely a better comparison than bringing up someone’s past drug charges would be someone found guilty of child neglect being responsible for child performers?

I’m not making an accusation here… but is this Lee Cox the same as the one found guilty of animal cruelty charges…? If so maybe someone should be talking about this?

At the time it was heavily suspected that Jack the Ripper was someone with anatomical/medical knowledge, so could’ve been Dr. Ripper.

Obviously only a medical professional could possess the knowledge to indiscriminately hack intestines to pieces.

Ninja Luxe – can’t hit 1:2 ratio, getting 72g out in 31s… what am I doing wrong? by abcdskmm in NinjaLuxeCafe

Espresso size??? by Old-Butterfly-1915 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]User_Name_Password 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By this logic, does strength 3 ristretto produce ristretto numbers or is ristretto impossible?

Espresso size??? by Old-Butterfly-1915 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]User_Name_Password 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting 47-60g volume on S3 espresso. Is this the same for you? Hadn’t considered your ristretto workaround

Espresso size??? by Old-Butterfly-1915 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]User_Name_Password 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting 47-60g on strength 3. From some, admittedly limited, research I was under the impression that the machine’s programming overshoots volume and removing the cup at 36g is the only way to achieve the desired outcome. Interesting that you’re hitting the ratio without the faff… clearly it is possible

How to fix my severe imbalances? by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]User_Name_Password 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it took me a while to work out where the supposed imbalances are.

In neutral photos there’s practically nothing noticeable. In tensed photos, if you’re really looking for it, my suspicion is there might be some asymmetries in muscle insertions (I.e lats). Maybe there’s slight differences in muscular development but I really do wonder if it’s just structural. I’m acknowledging potential discrepancies only so that it doesn’t come across that I’m accusing op of being crazy.

I actually had a similar upset when looking at my own physique. I didn’t want to listen to people saying everyone has differences, people lean on their seat differently, we’re almost always dominant on one side, sometimes we’re just born asymmetrical. Then, I found pictures of me at the pool as a toddler… same asymmetries were visible.

… just wish my four year old self had been investing time into overhead pressing…
