How We Doodle Breeders in California Train Our Puppies for a Smooth Transition to Your Home
We are one of the most dedicated Doodle breeders here in California, and we want to share with you how we train our Doodle puppies to make their move to your home as smooth as possible. Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming if they aren’t properly trained. That’s why we do everything we can to prepare our puppies for their new life with you, so you can enjoy them right from the start without too much stress.
Early Socialization
From the moment our Doodle puppies are born, we begin working on socialization. This means introducing them to lots of new sights, sounds, and people, so they can get used to everyday life. We make sure they meet different types of people, including adults and kids, and sometimes even other animals, like dogs or cats. This helps the puppies learn how to interact in a friendly and confident way.
By the time they’re ready to go to their forever home, our puppies are already used to being around people, hearing common household sounds like the vacuum cleaner, and seeing different environments. This makes it easier for them to adjust when they get to your home.
Basic Obedience Training
We believe that a well-behaved puppy makes life so much easier for their new family, so we start basic obedience training with all of our Doodles. This includes teaching simple commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” We use positive reinforcement, which means we reward the puppies with treats and praise when they follow commands. This keeps training fun and helps the puppies learn quickly.
Our puppies also learn how to walk on a leash, which makes taking them out for walks much more enjoyable. You won’t have to struggle with a puppy that pulls or doesn’t know what to do on a leash.
Crate Training
Crate training is another important part of the training process. A crate becomes a safe and cozy space for the puppy where they can rest and feel secure. We introduce the puppies to the crate early on, so they get used to it and feel comfortable sleeping inside.
Crate training is also very helpful for house training. When the puppy sleeps in the crate at night or stays there when you’re not around, it helps them learn to hold their bladder and avoid accidents inside the house. This makes house training much faster and easier for you!
House Training
Speaking of house training, we start this process before the puppies even leave our home. We teach them to go to the bathroom outside or on puppy pads, depending on their age. While they won’t be fully house trained by the time they go to your home, they’ll already have a good understanding of where they should go, which makes your job a lot easier.
Handling and Grooming
Doodles have special coats that require regular grooming, so we get them used to being handled early on. We make sure our puppies are comfortable with being brushed, having their nails trimmed, and getting baths. This way, they won’t be afraid of grooming as they grow up, and you’ll have an easier time keeping their coat in good shape.
Final Thoughts
We as one of the sincere Doodle breeders here in California know how important it is for your new puppy to fit right into your family, and that’s why we take training seriously. When you bring home one of our trained puppies, you can feel confident that they’ll settle in smoothly and become a loving, well-behaved member of your family in no time.
