TRAINING YOUR PUP

7 Top Tips

1. Start training early: Begin training your Goldendoodle as soon as you bring them home. Early socialization and obedience training are crucial for developing a well-behaved and well-adjusted dog.
2. Use positive reinforcement: Goldendoodles respond well to positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats, praise, and play. Reward good behavior to encourage your dog to continue behaving in a desirable manner.
3. Be consistent: Consistency is key when training a Goldendoodle. Establish clear rules and boundaries and stick to them to avoid confusion and reinforce good habits.
4. Keep training sessions short and engaging: Goldendoodles have a playful and active nature, so keep training sessions short, fun, and engaging to hold their attention and prevent boredom.
5. Practice patience: Training a Goldendoodle can take time and patience, so be patient and consistent in your training efforts. Celebrate small victories and progress along the way to keep both you and your dog motivated.
6. Use a variety of training methods: Every dog is unique, so be open to trying different training methods to find what works best for your Goldendoodle. Some dogs respond better to clicker training, while others may prefer verbal cues or hand signals.
7. Seek professional help if needed: If you encounter training challenges that you are not able to overcome on your own, don't be afraid to seek help from a professional dog trainer. They can provide guidance and support to help you and your Goldendoodle succeed in training.
