You’ve decided to get a cockapoo. Let me start off by welcoming you to the cockapoo club. Not only are you one of us now, you’re also getting the best dog on the planet. Cockapoos have a great temperament, they’re relatively easy when it comes to grooming and training them is loads of fun because they’re super smart. Loving your pet comes naturally but there are a few areas where you’ll need a little help.
There is a wide range of cockapoo books that can make life with the new addition to your family easier, whether it’s ways to train or groom them. There are even cockapoo handbooks on teaching your cockapoo a few tricks.
This is my list of the top 10 cockapoo books to get. I myself have a few, and those I don’t own have been recommended by fellow cockapoo people.

This is a great cockapoo training book to have before your cockapoo pup arrives. It really is the essential guide for new owners, or those waiting for their puppies to come home.

There are website links and resources for additional reading as well as information about organizations, breeders, and more.
4.Cockapoos (Complete Pet Owner’s Manual)
This manual is a comprehensive guide to owning a cockapoo and covers the responsibilities and duties that owning a pet entail. I found it makes a nice guide for older kids who have their own pet for the first time. There is a heap of useful information included and loads of illustrations.

You and Your Cockapoo is the definitive guide to owning the so-called ‘designer’ breed.

8. Cockapoo Puppy Training
A new puppy brings its own trials and tribulations along with joy. This guide helps you through those first few months, which are the most important for a cockapoo puppy.

One of my favourite parts is the Puppies Ten Commandments.
