Cockapoos, a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, are friendly, easy-going and generally eager to please, which tends to make training genuinely straightforward. Their low-shedding, low-dander coat suits owners prone to allergies. Despite their small-to-medium size, Cockapoos need at least thirty minutes of physical activity daily alongside real mental stimulation. Cockapoos tend to be unusually attuned to their owner's mood and body language, picking up on tension or frustration quickly. Most Cockapoos are strongly toy and food-motivated, making training relatively easy provided you keep it varied and engaging. Training essentials include rewarding your Cockapoo only when all four paws are on the ground and building truly strong recall.
