I am trying to figure out why you have a cockapoo if you think they are so bad?
You also forget they are mixed with a poodle.
And alot of how a dog behaves, is how they are brought up. You get what you
give, love begets love - anger begets anger and so on.
I have had cockapoos for 20 years now, and they have had to put up with
kids, and not so nice people in the next door neighbors yard, NEVER have I had
a problem with them. They were broght up with positive training and that is
what we got back.
The thing we are saying is if you dog was fine and then all of a sudden
changed - unless something drastic happened to the dog CHECK IT OUT!! Really
I don't get why you are having a problem with this if you love your dog and
want to keep it, check out ALL the options. If you don't want to then give
your baby to someone who will be responsible and check out what could be
causeing the problem, there usually is more than one answer to a problem. JMHO

Suitability for Children: Cockers are not recommended to families
with young children. Many Cocker Spaniels have behavioral problems
