WE’RE ACCREDITED BY:
Get Cavoodle Puppy Training From An Expert Team
Bringing home a Cavoodle is pure joy. Those teddy-bear curls, soulful eyes, and their instant devotion make it hard not to fall head over paws. But behind the cuteness is a clever, energetic companion who needs guidance early on.
At The Canine Classroom, we’re often asked ‘are Cavoodles easy to train?’ This ever-growing popular mix of poodle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was bred to be close to people, which means they naturally want to be close to their owner at all times. That affectionate nature is lovely in a companion dog, but without structure, it can quickly turn into clinginess, overexcitement, or separation anxiety.
At The Canine Classroom, we specialise in helping Brisbane families raise confident, calm pups using a supportive training approach designed around the unique Cavoodle temperament. Our programs focus on building independence, teaching boundaries, and setting your furry friend up for a happy, balanced dog’s life.
Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy or simply want your bundle of fluff to reach their full potential, we’re here to help.
Why Cavoodle Puppies Need Special Training
Many Cavoodles are surprisingly high-energy (you can thank their Poodle side for this). While they love a cuddle, they also need regular exercise, structure, and mental stimulation to avoid turning into tiny Tasmanian devils.
They’re highly intelligent, which means they learn quickly, but they also learn how to bend the rules. Without the right training approach, this can lead to barking for attention, chewing when bored, or developing unhealthy attachment patterns.
Early training helps shape your pup’s confidence, supports their emotional well-being, and prevents future behavioural problems. It also teaches them how to relax around household noises, greet other dogs politely, and feel safe in new situations.
Simply put, early guidance turns chaos into calm and curiosity into good behaviour.
Puppy Pre-School For Training A Cavoodle Puppy
Our Puppy Pre-School is perfect for Cavoodles under six months old. These classes introduce essential skills in a safe, fun environment, helping sensitive pups build confidence while energetic ones learn how to stay calm.
Using a combination of training methods, including positive reinforcement, luring, and guidance-based approaches, we help your pup develop healthy habits. Think learning through play, required correction, plenty of praise, and lots of tail wags.
We Have 2 Available Puppy Classes That Are Great For Training Cavoodle Puppies:
Puppy Pre-School (2–4 Months)
- Focus: Experiential learning, socialisation, exposure to new environments
- Skills: Basic commands, toilet training, crate training, gentle play
- Goal: Build confidence and curiosity in a safe, positive way
Puppy Training 2 (4–6 Months)
- Focus: Polite manners, leash walking, obedience foundations
- Skills: Responding reliably to commands, handling distractions, and reinforcing house rules
- Goal: Develop well-behaved habits and prepare for advanced training
Here we build on foundations, teaching your pup to focus, walk nicely on lead, and practise daily training routines that fit real family life. It’s also where we help many Cavoodles learn to settle, even when excitement levels are sky-high. Because let’s face it, your fluffy sidekick is adorable when excited, but a calm Cavoodle is even better.

Get Cavoodle Training Tips On Obedience and Behaviour
Cavoodles thrive on clarity. Our classes cover marker cues, basic commands, controlled play, and polite greetings, all reinforced with high-value rewards and plenty of treats.
We also introduce:
Calm acceptance of handling for future grooming and vet visits (those curls will need the maintenance!)
Simple new tricks to build confidence
Using puzzle toys for enrichment (great for separation anxiety)
Teaching your dog to relax after play
Early recall and loose-leash walk skills
These lessons help your pup develop into a relaxed, responsive companion, setting them up to become a well-behaved adult Cavoodle.
Socialisation Is Key
Just like most dogs, Cavoodles benefit hugely from structured social experiences. Early exposure to people, sounds, surfaces, and other pups teaches resilience and reduces fear-based reactions later on.
Our group classes help your dog learn how to share attention, play nicely, and feel confident in busy settings. This key stage of development supports emotional balance and makes future training smoother for everyone involved.
Common Challenges With Cavoodle Temperament In Puppies
Even most Cavoodles test boundaries. Without guidance, you might notice:
- Barking when bored or wanting attention
- Chewing or digging when stressed
- Jumping up on visitors
- Pulling on the lead
- Difficulty settling alone
- Accidents indoors if toilet training isn’t consistent
Our trainers provide extra support, practical training tips, knowledge of health problems, and routines that fit your household, helping your pup replace chaos with calm.
We’ll also chat through breed-specific things like skin allergies, picky eating, and general health issues, plus when to involve your vet if necessary.
Getting the Whole Family Involved In Your New Puppy
Training works best when it’s a team effort. Getting your family involved ensures consistency, builds bonds, and helps your Cavoodle see everyone as part of their world, not just one favourite human.
Kids can practise simple commands, adults can reinforce boundaries, and everyone celebrates progress. With shared patience and focus, your new family member learns faster and feels safer.
