The Best Crate Setup for a Cavapoo Puppy
Cavapoos are a small breed with a big opinion about being alone. The right crate size and a predictable routine turn crate training from a week of crying into two or three nights of adjustment.

The crate itself

MidWest iCrate 24" with divider
The size we recommend for most Cavapoos (adult 12–20 lb). Divider keeps the puppy space small while potty training.

MidWest iCrate 30" with divider
Choose this instead if your Cavapoo is tracking toward 20+ lb.

Soft-sided travel crate
For car trips and grandma's house — not for unsupervised chewers.

Low-loft and machine washable. Skip thick beds until potty training is solid.

The single biggest difference-maker for first-week night crying.

Crate cover
Darkness cues sleep — a light blanket over three sides works too.
Cleanup & accidents

Enzymatic cleaner
Removes the scent marker so accidents don't repeat in the same spot.

Saves the floor underneath during the first few weeks.
Breeder notes
- Size rule: your puppy should stand, turn around, and lie down — nothing bigger, or they'll potty in one corner and sleep in the other.
- Feed meals in the crate with the door open so it becomes the good-things place.
- Night one: crate beside your bed, last potty break right before lights out, and expect one middle-of-the-night trip.
- Never use the crate as punishment — it has to stay their safe room.
- Puppies can generally hold it about one hour per month of age, plus one, overnight.
