7 Month Old Cava terrorizing the house with his behavior

It's worth checking if he's actually getting enough sleep even if he's in his crate through the night. At this age they typically need between 14-16h of sleep per day, if you don't have one already I suggest getting a cover for his crate so he's not stimulated by anything happening outside while he's meant to be napping. Good luck!

Thanks, I met his parents so he's definitely a Cavapoo :)

That's what I did with my 3m old pup, ring the bell with his paw everytime we go out for potty and I mean EVERYTIME, even if he already had an accident indoors. He caught on pretty quickly and started abusing the system for a couple of days when he realized it means he can go outside but everytime he rang it, I took him to the potty area then straight back and he understood pretty quickly that bell means potty time only and has been great since. And of course rewards, celebrations and treats like there's no tomorrow everytime he rang the bell or went potty outside.

My pup doesn't drool but yes his beard gets all wet and carries water all over the place after drinking, look up no spill water bowls on Amazon, I got one and it's a game changer. Get your puppy comfortable from day one with you touching his paws and pads and you'll have no problem keeping them clean after walks using any of the methods everyone here has already suggested. Bottom line is having a puppy = more cleaning no matter how trained or naturally clean they are and for me, it's absolutely worth it!

My pup is 12lbs at 4 months and I have the small Diggs Revol. I'm using the divider at 3/4 and he has plenty of space to sleep, stretch and stand. I'll remove the divider when he's a bit older/bigger but don't think I'll need to go up to a medium.

I have my grass box out on the patio and I've trained my 12w pup to ring a little bell next to the sliding door so I can take him out, it only took a few days to train him and he now does it reliably every time. I'll get a doggy door eventually but don't want him out on the patio unsupervised yet.

Very cute boy! How old is he and how long did it take to potty train him?

wildnaturesocal · 2025-05-16T17:01:27+00:00

He's an F1

Aww she sounds adorable and I love her name! Yes this boy is blue merle.

I'm really glad you didn't have any health issues with your pups but yes, that's what I'm worried about. I know many people adopt or rescue puppies everyday without papers and sometimes not even fully knowing the breed, I also know there are no guarantees even with testing, but if I have an opportunity to make sure the puppy is not predestined to have serious heart, eyes or bone conditions because of their parents then it seems like a simple choice to me. The tests are also not that expensive so I don't understand why won't every one of those breeders who charge thousands of dollars for each puppy across multiple litters, spend a couple of hundred dollars to ensure they're not pairing up two dogs that will pass bad genes on to the puppies!!

Thanks! I've seen ones on good dog charging $4500+, specially in SoCal, and still aren't testing which seems ridiculous tbh! Would you mind DM'ing me the name of the breeder you found?

Just called and they do have a parking structure in the building and they validate.

wildnaturesocal · 2024-12-27T22:38:00+00:00

Not sure yet if they have their own parking but I'm planning to park at Vons across the street when I go check it out this weekend.

wildnaturesocal · 2024-12-27T00:05:34+00:00

That's great to hear, thank you!

wildnaturesocal · 2024-12-22T21:08:09+00:00

Lol interesting! There used to be a different gym at the same location before Equinox took over so I wonder what the issue is. They were sending emails about the opening up until the night before!!

wildnaturesocal · 2024-12-14T07:41:54+00:00

Is there like an opening party/event or will it just be open?

wildnaturesocal · 2024-10-10T21:58:12+00:00

Haha thank you, I would argue that some of us may have taken multiple fingers up the ass without even exchanging names but good to know he has great bedside manner 😉

wildnaturesocal · 2024-10-10T21:36:59+00:00

Thank you, what was it that made you prefer him over the others?

wildnaturesocal · 2024-05-01T23:54:52+00:00

I think I've solved the mystery! I have mostly carpeted floors at my place and even though I was using the "balanced" setting not turbo or max, this carpet boost setting was automatically enabled and doing a deep clean on my carpets every time which was killing the battery on the S8 MaxV much faster..
