Breed-Specific Training Tip
Cavaliers were literally bred to be lap dogs for royalty. They need companionship like they need air. Train independence gradually with positive alone-time experiences starting from day one.
Cavalier puppies should practice brief alone-time from 8 weeks. This breed develops severe separation anxiety if not conditioned to independence early.

Whether your Cavalier is a timid puppy or an anxious adult who shadows your every step, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your sweet Cavalier resting peacefully in their crate while you're away, walking confidently past strange sounds, and greeting the world with that signature sweet expression.
