Despite what anyone says to the contrary, cockapoos make excellent pets. Whether or not they\u2019re a \u201ctrue breed\u201d of dog makes no difference. A cockapoo’s mixed heritage gives them the best qualities of each breed. Some people, though, find them a little hard to bond with at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cockapoos require socialization, playtime, and love in order to bond well with their owners. The best way to bond with a cockapoo is to reward his good behavior with praise, treats, attention, and toys. While cockapoos are loyal, lifelong companions, they tend to bond best with only one family member in the home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will give you my top ten tips for bonding with your new cockapoo puppy. Some of them are standard bonding techniques used with most dogs, and some of them (like number 3) are breed-specific to cockapoos. Hopefully, these tips will put you on the fast track to bonding with your four-legged friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cockapoos \u2013 What You Need To Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Background Info<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes known as \u201cclown dogs\u201d because of their lively, funny, playful personalities, cockapoos are now bred with other cockapoos to continue the line. However, they originally came from breeding poodles and cocker spaniels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cockapoos get their intelligence, alertness, and trainability from poodles and their affectionate natures and loving and playful personalities from cocker spaniels. Because of their intelligence, they need a lot of mental and physical stimulation, and they can become easily bored if they don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cockapoos<\/a> are incredibly loving and loyal, but tend to bond most strongly with a single person, making them an excellent choice for companion animals and therapy dogs. Despite their tendency to get close to their favorite human, their kind, playful natures mean they get along well with everyone, including children, cats, other dogs, and the elderly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cockapoos are sociable animals and prone to separation anxiety, so you can\u2019t leave them alone for extended periods of time. Doing so can stress them out and lead to many negative behaviors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
