What’s Included in This Guide
This is a 35–40 minute video guide and 25 page PDF where I break down specific breed behaviour properly.
Not just what to do — but why your dog is doing it in the first place.
Module 1: Understanding the Cockapoo as a crossbreed
Learn how the breed’s history and original purpose influence behaviour today.
This module explains:
• what the breed was originally developed to do
• the instincts that still appear in modern dogs
• why certain behaviours are natural for this breed
Understanding these foundations makes everyday behaviour much easier to interpret.
Module 2: Common Behaviour Traits
Explore the behaviours owners most often struggle with.
This module explains why dogs of this breed may commonly show behaviours such as:
• barking or vocalising
• pulling on the lead
• overexcitement
• strong attachment to owners
• sensitivity to their environment
Each behaviour is broken down through the lens of breed traits, learning, and instinct.
Module 3: Common Owner Mistakes
Many behaviour challenges develop unintentionally through everyday interactions.
This module highlights patterns owners often fall into, including:
• reinforcing behaviours without realising
• inconsistent expectations
• overstimulation
• misunderstanding breed-specific needs
Recognising these patterns helps prevent behaviours from becoming more established over time.
Module 4: Training That Works for This Cross Breed
Different breeds respond best to different training approaches.
This module focuses on:
• training strategies suited to the breed’s temperament
• building engagement and responsiveness
• improving everyday behaviours such as walking and greetings
• encouraging calm behaviour in the home
The goal is to help you work with your dog’s natural tendencies, rather than against them.
Module 5: Enrichment and Daily Structure
Enrichment plays a key role in supporting balanced behaviour.
This module explains how to provide:
• mental stimulation and problem-solving activities
• scent-based enrichment
• structured, breed-appropriate play
• daily routines that support calmer behaviour
These strategies help channel energy and instinct in a constructive way.
