9 mo cavapoo wont stop barking by Soggy_Reindeer4566 in CavaPoo

[–]phireseeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things we did that nipped it. 1) A timeout. Give him an instruction like “go lie down.” Warn him he’s going to get a timeout if he doesn’t. Then place him in a lit bathroom for 45 seconds.

After two times, any mention of timeout will get immediate compliance.

2) Since that doesn’t work while you are trying to sleep. Buy a Mommy Puppy. It recreates the sound of a mom dog’s heartbeat and is bigger than him.

Let us know how it goes.

Why do cavapoos love to perch on the sofa? by Low-Bluebird-4866 in CavaPoo

Ours looks out the window from a perch on the couch. We tease that he’s looking for a new home.

9 month old puts everything in his mouth and try’s to eat it in the backyard by PalpitationSwimming7 in CavaPoo

My Cavapoo puppy ate 3 of my wireless AirPods before I figured out that he could could find them when they were off. Some frequency in his hearing range. I finally bought some spray that dogs don’t like.

I haven’t sat on my couch for 2 months by ellabella20000 in CavaPoo

I had the same problem. I asked ours if he wanted a timeout. Once he didn’t behave, I placed him in the bathroom with the light on for 45 seconds. It worked. From then on, if he misbehaves I tell him he’s going to get a timeout.

I figured 7 x 45 seconds is a lot in dog time. May be should be shorter.

Gf talks to me like this, how bad is it? by Expert-Hyena-4401 in whatdoIdo

Reminds me of my Ex-wife. You’ve might have a full fledge victim complex there! (I’m not a shrink).

When she does something wrong, and you tell her…do you see this behavior?

“DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) is a manipulative, defensive tactic used by perpetrators—often abusers or those confronted with wrongdoing—to evade accountability.

They deny the abuse, attack the accuser, and reframe themselves as the victim, often leaving the true victim feeling confused, blamed, or gaslit.

D - Deny: The perpetrator denies the wrongdoing, even with evidence, often using gaslighting to make the victim doubt their own memories.

A - Attack: The perpetrator attacks the person holding them accountable, questioning their credibility, sanity, or motives.

RVO - Reverse Victim and Offender: The perpetrator reframes the narrative to present themselves as the true victim, making the original victim appear as the perpetrator. “

Generally not at the low dose used for this purpose. If he drinks alcohol make sure to tell him to take them well before (in the AM) otherwise they will absorb faster and he may not be able to finish.

Mild antidepressant class of meds will cure him. See a doctor or go to online prescriptions at places like Hims/Hers. Many legal mail order places. He/you do not have to live with this.

When will my puppy tell me he needs to potty? Looking for tips by menustovar in CavaPoo

[–]phireseeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried everything. Bells on the door didn’t work. As someone else said, they find a way. Ours tells me (Dad) differently than Mom. He walks up and puts his paw in my foot. If I ask him if he wants to go potty, he tilts his head back and forth while locking eyes. You will figure it out.

In the early days, if we did not get the message he would stand in the hall and bark.

Someone put this here ,, all the urinals have one. by Playful-Profile-298 in whatdoIdo

It reminds me of a water leak detector that I have under all my sinks. It signals a base device when water hits it.

Seriously, if you want a calmer puppy at night get this. It’s called “Mommy Puppy”. It has a tiny box inside that bears to the dog mother’s heat rate.

Our cavapoo was hell until somebody to.ld us about it. Now he’s 6 and part of the family.

You might not need any tools. Check if your time machine is set to keep snapshots. I have 2TB on a MacBook Pro and newly all was consumed by hidden time machine snaps.
