Does she often cry or bark because she
wants to be let out of her puppy pen? If she continues for more than 15 minutes, we may
need to try some strategies to help her settle down. 😊

If she has already learned to use her toilet
and rarely has accidents, you could try
making her area a little bigger. 😊
Outside and inside.

Before you leave the house, try taking her
for a 20-minute walk along a slightly different route from usual. Let her take her time sniffing
and exploring. Sniffing is a wonderful way for puppies to use their brains and feel more
relaxed.

Rather than leaving the same toys out all
the time, try rotating them and offering her something a little different each day.

You can also make some fun enrichment
games for her at home as a new game,
for example:

🐾 Put a few treats inside a plastic bottle.
🐾 Wrap some treats in a towel and tie it loosely.
🐾 Hide treats inside an empty egg carton.
🐾 Play a little treasure hunt by hiding treats around the house.

When you are home with her, you could
also offer a variety of safe things to chew,
such as pine cones, suitable branches,
coconuts collected from the beach, or large,
sturdy plastic containers like empty juice or
milk bottles. Just make sure everything is clean and safe for her, and supervise her while she chews so she doesn't swallow any pieces.

She might simply have a lot of energy that
she isn't getting enough opportunities
to release. ❤️

On days when you can't take her for a walk, try doing some short training sessions indoors or playing ball with her. Even a little activity and mental stimulation can make a big difference.

Learning to settle calmly on her own takes
time and practice, so please be patient with
her. With a little consistency and the right activities, she will gradually learn that
being alone is nothing to worry about ☺️🎊

🐶 When Should You Change Your
Puppy’s Meals from 3 Times a Day to 2? 🐾

Most puppies can gradually transition from 3 meals a day to 2 meals a day at around 5–6 months of age.

Here are a few tips to make the change easier:

🐾 1. Check the recommended daily amount
Follow the feeding guide on your puppy’s food packaging and divide the total daily amount
into 2 meals instead of 3. Adjust as needed
based on your puppy’s growth, body condition
and individual needs.

🐾 2. Make the transition gradually
You can slowly reduce the lunchtime portion
over several days, distributing that food
between breakfast and dinner.

🐾 3. Choose suitable meal times
For example, breakfast at 7 am and
dinner at 5–6 pm.

🐾 4. What if you’re working during the day?
If your puppy is around 5–6 months old and is growing well, feeding twice a day may be perfectly fine. If your puppy is younger, very small, or has any health concerns, check with your vet before reducing meals.

🐾 5. Training tip
If you’re taking your puppy to training classes, avoid giving a meal immediately beforehand.
You can use some of their daily food allowance
as training rewards instead.

Every puppy is different, so pay attention to your puppy’s growth, appetite and energy levels. ❤️

Crate training 3 days

Maple stayed quiet until 7 am this morning. She barked a little at 7, but it wasn’t loud or annoying.

Once a puppy learns to sleep quietly in her crate, the next step is not to let her out straight away if she barks when she wakes up.

Crate training can also help prevent separation anxiety.

It’s such a beautiful day in Melbourne today! ☀️
I hope you have a lovely Sunday! ❤️

Maple was full of energy again this morning, barking from 6:30 am for 20 minutes, asking
to be let out!

She wants my attention, so even when I let her out of the crate, she doesn’t go straight to the toilet and continues barking instead. She hasn’t toileted in her crate either, so there is only one reason why she starts whining at 6:30 am. 😊

I deliberately made a little noise to let her know I was awake. Maple never makes a sound during the night.

Please remember, everyone, don’t let your dogs dictate your daily routine. Always be the leader and teach them to be patient and understand that demand barking doesn’t work. 😊

Have a wonderful day ❤️

Maple's crate training (12wks)

Maple had never cried at night, so I used to leave her crate and doggy door open. But recently, she’s been going outside at 5:30 am to bark and say good morning to our neighbour when they go to work😂 So today, I started crate training with the crate door closed.

It’s all about experimenting! 🧪 This morning, she didn’t bark at 5:30, but from 6:30 she barked for 20 minutes asking to be let out. I waited until she’d been quiet for two minutes before opening the crate.

I suspect she was saying, “I’m awake! Let me out!” rather than needing the toilet! If I let her out while she’s barking, she’ll learn that barking gets her what she wants.

I recommend not letting puppies out while they’re barking in the morning. This helps them learn to settle themselves, even when you’re not around.
Also, cover the crate so they can’t see outside. A dark, cosy, den-like space can help them feel safe and relaxed. 🐶💤

Sky and Sunny can wake up and wait quietly in their crates until 10 am! 😂❤️

Small tip

Last food , play by 8pm
Last drink by 9pm
Last toilet 9:30 - 10pm
Open crate 1-2 minutes after stop barking

Maple did really well on day one! I’ll update you on day two tomorrow. Have a lovely day, everyone! ☀️

Puppy training

You don’t want her to become too dependent on a particular routine or pattern.

It’s actually good to sometimes break usual pattern. For example, you can go somewhere your dog can’t see you. Sometimes you come back quickly, and other times you stay away for a little longer.

You can also pretend you’re going out but then stay home, or make her think you’re not going out and then actually leave.

The idea is to teach her that she can’t always predict what you’re going to do. This helps her become more flexible, confident, and comfortable when things don’t happen exactly as she expects.

Have a great day

So, she is crying and screaming while she is inside the indoor playpen when you leave her, is that right?

First of all, I would completely ignore her 😅 Don’t look at her, don’t talk to her, and don’t give her any attention. You can put your earphones in, listen to music, and completely ignore her.

When she is quiet and calm, that is when you praise her, give her a treat inside the playpen, or let her out. You want to teach her:
Crying and screaming = no attention.
Being quiet and calm = attention, treats and freedom.

If you look at her, tell her off, or say “No” while she is crying or screaming, it can actually make the behaviour worse because she learns that making noise gets a reaction from you.

Ignoring her can be difficult, I know 😅 but this is a little battle of patience between you and the puppy. At the same time, I would give her things that keep her busy so she can learn to enjoy spending time by herself.

I would also put some toys outside area so she can play and entertain herself during the day. If the outdoor is in a safe area and she cannot get into anything dangerous, I think you can remove the outdoor puppy pen and allow her to have more freedom.

I wouldn’t leave all the toys out at once. Rotate them so she doesn’t get bored with them. You can make lots of simple enrichment toys with things you already have at home.

For example:

• Treat-dispensing toys
• A plastic bottle with some kibble inside
• A towel with treats wrapped inside and tied up
• An empty egg carton with treats inside
With a little creativity, puppies can have lots of fun entertaining themselves.

I gave Maple a whole carrot today. She had so much fun chewing it and playing with it 😂

It’s good to give her different things rather than always giving her the same toys. Sometimes I even pick up safe sticks or palm leaves from the park and bring them home for the puppies to play with or chew.

She has been with you for a while now, so I think it is important to start working properly on her alone training.

The most important thing is not to give her attention when she is crying or barking. In the morning too, if she cries or barks before 6am, I would completely ignore her. Gradually, she should start crying and barking less.

There may be some toilet accidents while you are doing this, but I would expect that to settle within a few days.

At the moment, it sounds like the puppy is deciding your daily routine for you. From today, I would start teaching her that she needs to fit into your routine too. 😊

For now, I would not remove the playpen.
Once she can stay by herself calmly without crying, barking or screaming, and once she is reliably toilet trained, then you can gradually give her more freedom and make her area bigger.

She is a happy and settled puppy when you are with her, so I think she just needs to learn that being alone is also completely normal and safe.

Good luck 🥰✨️

A question I often hear is, “I’ve heard Cobberdogs are amazing dogs. What has your experience been like?” 😊

Well… let me tell you something about Cobberdogs! 😂

Yes, many Cobberdogs are generally lovely, gentle and calm dogs. BUT please don’t expect your puppy to arrive as a perfectly calm little angel straight out of the box! 😆

Cobberdogs can bite, jump up, zoom around the house like a tiny tornado, and generally behave like complete maniacs — especially when they are puppies! 😂🐾

One of the interesting things about Cobberdogs is that they have a diverse genetic background, so their personalities and energy levels can vary quite a lot from one dog to another. You might get a calm and independent puppy, an energetic social butterfly who wants to play with everyone, or even one with a very cat-like personality who happily does their own thing. 🐱

Some dogs also need plenty of physical and mental stimulation. They may absolutely LOVE chasing a ball, playing fetch, running around. If they don’t get enough appropriate exercise and interaction, they can become frustrated, bored
or stressed.

And one important point: when people say “Cobberdogs are calm,” they are often talking about the adult dog — not necessarily under
12 months old puppy! 😅

A puppy still has to grow up, learn how to behave, learn how to settle, and learn how to live in your world. What kind of adult dog they become is influenced not only by their natural temperament, but also by the environment, training, experiences and lifestyle you provide.

So, please don’t choose a Cobberdog simply because you heard they are “calm” or “easy.”
Every puppy is an individual.

This is why it is SO important to tell your breeder honestly what kind of dog you are looking for — your lifestyle, activity level, family situation and the temperament you would be happiest living with.

The right breeder can then help match you with a puppy whose natural temperament is more suitable for your lifestyle and expectations. ❤️

And finally… if you are expecting a calm dog, remember that “calm” may arrive after the zoomies, biting, jumping, barking, chaos and general puppy madness have had their turn! 😂

Good luck, and enjoy the journey! 🐾❤️

When the puppy cries whenever you leave
the room or when you are out of sight, it
can be helpful to give him something that
keeps him occupied.

For example, a treat-dispensing toy, or
a frozen Kong stuffed with treats.

I used to give my puppies a regular large pig
ear or raw beef brisket bone as well. I only
gave it to them when I could supervise them,
and after about 15 minutes,I would distract
them by inviting them to play and then take
it away.

I never let them finish the whole pig ear or bone because once it becomes small, it can be a
choking hazard.

Please be careful about how you take things
away from him. If you suddenly take something
away while he is watching, it can potentially
encourage resource guarding.

Instead, when he is not looking and is
distracted, you can quietly remove it.

Alternatively, when he is watching, practise
taking the item away and immediately giving
it back. Repeating this helps him learn that
you taking something away does not mean
he is going to lose it forever.

If he cries a little, try not to react or give him
attention. Once he becomes more comfortable
and settled in his new home and environment, he should gradually stop crying.

However, if, after one week, he is still crying
or barking intensely whenever he cannot see
you, especially if it continues for more than
about 20 minutes, I would recommend starting
some crate training to help him learn to settle
calmly when he is alone.

Enjoy with your puppy 🐶 💕

A Little About Me ❤️

This litter marks my fourth time experiencing the journey of birth and raising puppies.

Even though it has only been four litters, I have experienced the heartbreak of stillborn puppies and losing two puppies shortly after they were born. Alongside the incredible joy, there have also been many difficult and heartbreaking moments.

Every time, I felt as though God was asking me, “Are you still sure you want to do this?” — as if I was being tested.

But despite all the challenges, I realised that I still wanted to continue.

Being able to be there for a dog through her pregnancy and birth, seeing the happiness on the faces of the families who welcome my puppies into their lives, and most of all, simply being surrounded by these incredibly beautiful little puppies… these things have always encouraged me and made me want to keep learning, growing and doing better. ❤️

Throughout my life, I have worked in many different fields but out of everything I have done, breeding is by far the work I have loved the most.

Next year, I will turn 50🤭

And I have decided that my 50s are going to be about doing what I love and living a little selfishly — in the best possible way. ✨

I am ready to graduate from constantly worrying about what other people think, putting my own happiness aside to please others, worrying about how I am perceived, and always putting everyone else — including my children — before myself.

It is finally time to choose myself, too. ❤️

From next year, I will be spending an entire year studying dog training in a much more practical and hands-on way. I will have the opportunity to work with and train approximately 150 dogs throughout the year.

It will be a big commitment, but I am incredibly excited about what I will learn and where this journey will take me.

I still have so many dreams and goals, and I am excited to keep working towards them.

To everyone who follows this page, to all the wonderful families who have welcomed one of my puppies into their lives, to every puppy born here, to Sunny and Sky, and to every breeder who has been part of my journey — thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I truly could not have come this far without all of you.

And to the little puppies who have taught me so much along the way — thank you for choosing me. ❤️🐾

Here’s to the next chapter.
50, I’m coming for you! ✨
