Welcome to the Group :)
I have a 20 week old Cockapoo and I was in the same boat as you when I joined the group. Everyone here is wonderfully helpful. I am thankful to have found this group...
Some info on what I have done with Chloe..
Feeding - I feed Chloe 3 times a day.. Morning, Lunch and Dinner. After she eats, I wait about 20 minutes and then bring her outside. This has been a good strategy to avoid little accidents. Same deal with water. In the beginning, I wasn't doing this and then got the hang of it....
Snacks - I have been giving her Charlie Bear treats. You can find them at Petco and Trader Joes(not sure where you are from).. They are low calorie snacks and very small,. I have been using them when teaching her sit/stay/down..etc.. I have also given her pigs
ears(which she loves). What I do is buy them in a bag and cut them into 3rds and give her one every day or 2.
I also have Chloe in a crate while I am out of the house at work. I live only 5 minutes from work so I always come home at lunch to let her out. I found that turning on the radio or having a sound machine really keeps her calm. At first she was very whiny when in the crate but it has gotten better. I also have a small towel inside the crate and also one on top of it..
Good Luck with your poo.. :) Hope that helps!

I am sooooooooo glad that I found this group. I just became the
owner of a 10 week old cockapoo!She's adorable!! This is my first
pet, so I want to make sure that I am doing everything right. Of
course, I have lots of questions. LOL!
How often do you feed your pup? I've read things from 2 to 3 times
per day. We tried 2 times per day, but I wasnt sure if she was
getting enough.
Also, any recommendation on treats/snacks? I see so many different
brands of stuff out there. Not sure what is the best.
Last one (for now) for those of you who work during the day (and no
one's home) any tips or suggestions? Right now, she's in the crate
b/c she's not housetrained. Today is the first day that she's at
home with no one else. I plan to go home at lunchtime (approximately
20 minutes away) and take her out for a walk, give her some water
and/or a treat.
Sorry to have so many questions!! LOL!!
