SETTLE. SLEEP. REPEAT.
The Cockapoo-specific sleep guide · Free
Puppy still not sleeping through? Find out what’s getting in the way.
A Cockapoo-specific sleep plan, whether your puppy came home last night or the nights went wrong weeks ago. No cry-it-out, no guessing.
It’s 2am. Again.
You’ve tried leaving them, going to them and moving the crate, and every website says something different.
Night-time crying usually isn’t a puppy trying it on. It’s a puppy who doesn’t feel safe or settled yet. And often there’s a simple reason: the room is too warm, the afternoon was too busy, or the last toilet trip came at the wrong time. This guide helps you find which one.

I’m Clair Hadley, a canine behaviourist specialising in Cockapoos. This guide is the same approach I use with my private clients, and I’m giving it away free because nights with a new puppy shouldn’t feel hard.
What one owner said
"I was getting 3 hours of broken sleep a night with Milo's constant whining. Clair's gentle approach changed everything – she showed me how to make him feel secure without giving in to every cry"
