Our puppy is very similar however it tends to be when he's over stimulated or tired. I try to get him in his crate to settled for a couple of minutes but he then comes right back out with his fangs ready to go
he’s now 8 months and I’d say after about the 6 month mark is when I saw a dramatic improvement. We still get some mouthing off him occasionally but it’s rare! Our main issue at the moment is barkingThank you!We know it'll pass as well but when you are in the moment it doesn't feel that way!
What age did your pup stop? We have training classes a week Monday we also do some training ourselves (we went to puppy pre school and got some tips!) We know we aren't alone either but it's so hard!

My partner tried to tell me its cos I'm his favourite that he tries to rip my hands to shreds but I'm not sure I believe that
bless him! How old is your pup ? 
6 months seems like such along way awayhe’s now 8 months and I’d say after about the 6 month mark is when I saw a dramatic improvement. We still get some mouthing off him occasionally but it’s rare! Our main issue at the moment is barking
Good luck with your training!
hopefully she'll calm down asap. We last got a puppy 11 years ago (he passed away last year we got a totally different dog as we couldn't have boxers any more) and you just for get everything and there's so much now to do with dogs to help with mental stimulation and such it can be quite overwhelming!He's 13 weeks tomorrow so we've still got a looooong way to go until 6 monthsReading all these posts makes me feel ever so slightly better

other than his biting, he's absolutely fantastic and picks up on stuff really quickly. He just can't seem to control himself with biting!!oh nooo.we dont have cats, but ours is the same seems to pick things up really quickly and it is just the biting it just gets a bit crazy sometimes! its just nice to know we arent alone!He's 13 weeks tomorrow so we've still got a looooong way to go until 6 months
The biting, alone time and stopping him from trying to chase our cats are the 3 big things that he struggles with at the moment
couldn’t find puppy classes, so went with a 1on1 trainer. That was an expensive mistake. Wasted a tonne of money for a tit trainer. Paid money to go through weekly sessions of stuff I’d already taught him because she wanted to know what he could do I was teaching him stuff during the week and then she’d come and be like oh you’ve done that let’s see how he does it and he learnt nothing new with her apart from plaster him all over her Instagram making out she taught him it all My mistake I guess. We finally found puppy classes and sacked her off, and now he attends 2 classes a week and he is loving it! Mainly for the socialisation aspect, my last dog was reactive after being attacked so I’m keen to keep him well socialised and they’re a great bunch so he adores going and doing different stuff every week. Deffo recommend puppy classes over 1v1. He’s great with dogs and people, he’s super calm which isn’t usually a trait of the breed but he does have his moments of course. The breed are known for being strong and pulling but we’ve got his loose lead walking perfected at present and even my 8 year old can walk him which loads of people are amazed at (obviously we’ll keep training at it though ready for the defiant teenage stage!). ) I guess I’m trying to say. Keep at it. It gets better. So much better. Puppy’s are Dickheads. But that stage soon passes. We’ve all got this 
I feel like this sums up every single person who has ever owned a puppy that has grown up.
The cats are interesting haha. We've spent a good 3 weeks taking our time introducing them for one of then to just decided screw it and ran into the living room on Friday whilst he was in there and just sit there looking at him. No growling or hissing. He of course wanted to play with them and now whines when he's outside and they're inside and he can see them. Luckily I think we've ended up with two very chilled out cats who have taken his play barking at them in their stride and just seem OK with everything at the moment.
I love cavapoos but cavaliers have a lot of health issues so I’d always be warey if getting something crossed with one. Sounds like you have a good plan though and I don’t see why you couldn’t happily have a dog
We live in a flat with a small dog and Its fine. Lots of green to walk the dog.
We crate trained our dog and we just ignored his cries and he soon settled, didn’t take long just a few days of crying for a while when first put into the crate. I also think it’s the best way as if you go back to them when they are crying they’ll learn to cry to get your attention. If they go quiet then leave it a little before going in to let them out.
Thank you. Are you able to leave him alone to entertain himself? We're trying to build it up but it seems a very very slow process!
He is 13 now. He is completely happy to be alone no issues. I think sometimes he prefers to be alone as a lot of the time if I’m sat watching TV in the living room he will take himself into the other room or outside. We don’t lock him in the crate anymore but he will happily go into it throughout the day since we leave it open for him. I’m glad he is like this as I think separation anxiety is such a hard thing to have to deal with.
Honestly that's the dream for us. Just a pup who is happy to entertain himself as and when he needs to.
If the weathers fine and we are gone we usually just keep the back door open as our gardens secure and no one would be able to get in. So he just takes himself out when he wants, he usually spends most of his time out there just lying on the grass chilling. I think it’s important they get used to being alone, even if you don’t plan on doing it often because what if there is an emergency and you have to leave the dog for longer than normal at least then they’ll be used to it
Just take it as it comes, the pup will get there - ours only took a couple of nights. Also, cover the crate with a blanket at night so that their senses calm down (e.g not disturbed by light etc) and most importantly don’t have any FOMO when you’re heading to bed etc.
