This week on the Cavoodle Coach Podcast, I’m sharing key insights from the Australian Dog Breeders Conference 2025, where I was honoured to sit on the panel of behaviour and training experts.

We’re diving into one of the biggest questions families face when choosing their puppy:
👉 What defines an ethical Cavoodle breeder?

I’ll walk you through the traits to look for, the red flags to avoid, and why choosing the right breeder is the single most important step in raising a happy, healthy, anxiety-free Cavoodle.

After 5 weeks of travelling around Europe, I returned home to my beautiful 5 year old Cavoodle, Nessie, and guess what the first thing I did was? I got out my treat pouch and went straight back to basics with her loose lead walking. Why? Because she just spent the last month pulling on the lead when she went for walks with my parents which is completely OKAY.

I'm not upset or irritated at the regression.

In fact, I am just so grateful I got to go on a holiday and have her so well looked after and the fact of the matter is, as a Cavoodle parent, you have to accept that there WILL be minor setbacks in your Cavoodle's training and behaviour over the course of their life.

In today's episode of the Cavoodle Coach Podcast, I'm sharing what can cause these training regressions and how to get through them quickly. Enjoy the episode!
