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.

- Whitwam, Linda (Author)
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. It’s informative and prepares you for pretty much everything. I especially like the breeders’ comments that are included. This is why its number one on our best cockapoo book list.

With over 280 pages, this book has a lot of valuable information. What I like is that it includes a very real guide on what you should expect before you commit to becoming a puppy owner. 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.

While the title is a bit of a mouthful, the book itself is to the point and informative. It includes every phase of your cockapoo’s life, from birth all the way through to him getting old.

You and Your Cockapoo is the definitive guide to owning the so-called ‘designer’ breed. You will find everything you need to know about cockapoos, from choosing one that’s right for you, to buying it and what to expect as your dog gets older. I love the illustrations, some specially commissioned for this cockapoo book, and I think you will too.
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.
