A Complete Guide To Doodle Puppy Training

[@bobthomas4651]

I just got a GD 2wks ago. She is now 17 was old. The only time we have heard make any noise is wen she is having a crazy dream then she barks that’s the only time. And she is calm as a clam. Sometimes I wonder if something’s wrong. Nope! Not at all. Wen I bring the ball out she’s all go. The most relaxed dog I have ever had. Keep it up Daisy. I love you.

I’m a trainer and probably 90% of the doodles in my classes are crazy in terms of barking and zero attention span. The part that drives me crazy though is that sometimes no matter what I tell my clients they don’t seem to understand that they need to be keeping their high energy puppy from getting bored.

My son is the same way with his 11 week old doodle. Whenever he asks me to watch her I spend the whole time letting her play and train to get her energy out.

I got a poodle last week, and this video can not come on a better time. Thank You Instructor Steve

We rescued an Aussiedoodle 15 years ago before Doodles became popular. She was so gentle with us and with kittens but I was not ready for a Doodle personality. #1. As an Aussie mix, she wanted to be on the go. She escaped the yard 4 times over the course of her life. Thankfully, we got her back quickly each time. But we had to be on a constant lookout that there were no gates open. Because of her we installed metal screen doors on all of the doors. That way we had a double system to walk through and she couldn't scratch or tear up the door. #2 . She developed anxiety over loud noises. I was really not ready for this. She was in the car one day when another car went through a stop sign and hit us. The collision was relatively mild with minor damage. I left the dog in the car while I had to deal with the other driver who was trying to avoid making contact with me and not wanting to share information. By the time I got back to the dog she was in a panicked state inside the car. From then on she was terrified of cars. She wanted to go for rides and be with us but once she got in the car she would begin shaking uncontrollably. Every time she had a panic attack, her pupils were dilated and her nose began to run like a faucet. We loved her to pieces but it was quite a challenge to deal with. We sought the help of specialists but very few people were able to help us. Most of them would not believe us that she was so panicky. I did finally meet with a behaviorist who taught us to use the Nothing Is Free In Life technique. Meaning that the dog had to perform some small task before receiving any treats or food or pets to build up her confidence. That did help us. But we were constantly on the lookout to eliminate loud noises. One day she was sleeping quietly in the living room. The front door was open allowing a nice breeze thru the screen door. A sudden strong wind caused the door to slam shut. Wow that was the end of her for the day. When she learned that the wind could cause loud noises to happen, she became afraid of the wind. We get a lot of wind in our area so we constantly had to watch out for her when the wind picked up. A window might be open and the metal blinds would chatter a little bit as the wind passed over them. The chattering of the blinds, which was very quiet, terrified her. I had to learn by trial and error what tone of voice to use with her that made her happy. But when she was filled with terror and anxiety, nothing that we did could calm her down. Actually trying to talk to her at times like that made her worse. I was always walking a fine line of speaking to her calmly, without petting her which made it worse, and/or ignoring her. We just had to wait it out. By the time she was 10 years old she began to be calmer. It got easier. #3. She developed a fear of tile or concrete floors. This happened because the first time I took her to a vet she was extremely timid and would not go through the door with me. Because she was tooheavy for me, I was unable to pick her up I had to pull her into the vet's office. That caused her to slide on the tile floor. Although I worked with her gently and tried to reassure her the whole way. it set us up for a lifelong fear of slippery surfaces. #4. We have alleyways in our neighborhood between the houses. I was walking her one day on leash in the alley. On this day the wind picked up and caused a gate near us to slam shut. She took such a fright that she would have escaped if I'd had her on any other type of restraint besides a choke collar. I barely managed to walk her home, about 20 to 25 houses away. She was constantly trying to bolt, the whole way, lookingback like she had seen a monster. For two years if she was alone in the backyard she would sit against the back door staring in the direction of the fear she had in the alley, shivering, shaking, nose dripping. #5. One morning I took her very early to the dog park. This morning one man showed up with a Great Dane that weigjrf maybe 150 lb. He let the Dane off and the four of us were kind of walking in close proximity around the park. The Dane became very excited and started zooming around us at full speed. He came by me headed straight for my legs and swerved off at the last split second. When I saw him suddenly coming at me, I thought there goes my knees! The next thing he did was swerve quickly and run at my dog and hit her full in the chest and threw her about 10 ft. The dog's owner did absolutely nothing and looked like nothing happened. Shaken up, I gathered my dog and we made a quiet escape trying not to attract that dog's attention. I checked her over and she did come out okay but that experience taught her to hate male dogs. She was no longer safe around a male dog at any time. She would attack them when she saw them coming. In short, I learned that Doodles learn something for the rest of their life with a single event.

We had a rescue that was likely partly border collie/Australian shepherd/cattle dog and had similar experiences. Thankfully dog training has come a long way since then and we have many more tools, and more understanding. I have had an F1b Goldendoodle, and now an Australian Labradoodle (NOT to be confused with an Aussiedoodle…!) and they have been fabulous companions and pets. It is not fair to lump all “Doodles” into one group! If I could give one piece of advice, it would be do your homework and thoroughly investigate breeders. Learn how they handle and prepare their puppies for the world, ask the tough questions. What guidelines do they follow in their breeding programs, what health and genetic testing do they do with their breeding dogs? And learn how to be a good dog owner/partner yourself! It is SO worth the time investment!

[@teresamonica8387]

I had a rescue Aussie girl, she was very clever but reactive to sound. She escaped many times when we weren't home. She was a beautiful dog ❤ I just got a bordoodle and I hope to socialise her to sound well enough that we don't have issues

[@annetteshively4590]

Good video for new owners. I watched just about every puppy video (while taking copious notes!!) McCann's had out before bringing my Labradoodle home. McCann's video have been the best I have found. I've since signed up for the Life Skills classes and will become a Monthly Member at the end of Dec. A puppy is a LOT of work, McCann's has provided the how-to and the encouragement that my girl and I need. I cannot say enough positive things about y'all. THANK YOU!

[@kiyanamyrthil4693]

Hi thank you so much for taking time to do this channel I have found it to be very helpful. I couldnt find a place to send a message but I was wondering if you could consider making a few videos about how to deal with kids and training. when and how should kids and others be involved and when shouldn’t they be involved. Also how to introduce cats. I have cats that are not familiar with dogs how can they coexist in the same household? Oh and lastly new pups and working? Thank you for taking a moment to read. I look forward to more videos.

[@winterpast100]

Love my Labradoodles. They are loving clean and Very smart. One is a certified service dog. Don’t listen to any awful comments. Believe me PEOPLE are the problem

[@mikeputz5320]

Thanks for the video. I’m getting a dood in 3 weeks, so I’m researching as much as I can and taking notes

[@PoeticDensity]

Anyone else's doodle pup nowhere near this calm?! My Goldendoodle puppy is like the Tasmanian devil if you only gave him coffee.

[@guyklose8416]

Ours isn’t…she’s a big faker. Nice and calm when we picked her out, but then exposed ALL of her energy over the next several weeks. We now do things to help bleed off her energy, which helps greatly. I give 100% credence to the adage that a tired puppy is a happy puppy.

[@corinne7126]

my is not calm either

[@jenniferjoseph1511]

Mine is so calm, she sleeps all day she’s 8 weeks

[@blaketoomer8503]

Mines a complete idiot

[@RedPillDrugs]

Same with my mini golden doodle. It’s like he’s bipolar. I love him to death but there’s got to be something I can do to correct this

[@rickinwast]

Dedicated (Each day) training with a plan, like McCann tutorials, makes a well mannered puppy into teenager phase. Leash training has been the most demanding requiring patience and lots of treats :-)

[@thecappy]

I just got a newfypoo a week ago. Great timing!

[@ktcharb66]

Yes, this is great for all the Doodles… but it’s also great for my 🎉Papillon!!! 🎉

[@megancarr9198]

We have a 9 week chioodle and she is not food motivated at all finding training tough without the reward aspect to reinforce.

[@Im.Maggie0726]

i have a question: If my puppy already know the word "Yes!" is good, afterwards when i say the word "Yes" do i still need to give my puppy a treat? Please answer thanks

[@garywilliams7454]

Super cute

[@maxnme21]

You talk so very fast…..somet8mes I play back the video because I miss what your saying because your sentences and words flow together because yo7 talk so fast…soooo please try o slow your speech down. Thank you. And again…I love your videos…thank you…🥰🐾🐾

My doodle is always in a crazy zoomie but my sister's doodle( same age same litter) is calmer

[@radkavokurkova249]

Hi there, what if my dog isn't interested in food? Parson Russell 9 weeks old. arrived on Friday and today is Sunday and she hasn't eaten much even when fed from hand. I kmoe this may change as she was very stressed out leaving mum and 5 siblings

[@by_rachelanne]

My doodle keeps chewing on the training lead how do I prevent this. Do I keep it on him all the time?

[@theirmom4723]

I give mine something appropriate to chew on after moving the house line out of her way

[@DarnellaReReworld]

My golden doodle is like a Tasmanian devil too, as soon as I open a bag or grab something she go crazy😂.

[@dianelarwood597]

My cockapoo climbed up the side of the open topped pen and jumped out when she was 3 months old. That was the end of the pen.

[@bcaar66936]

You were adding several things all in one sitting. Is this normal? I could see how to play with a toy, then a break. Just wondering

Plz plz plz don’t buy a doodle!! They are backyard bread mutts with a huge price tag. The parents are rarely health tested and they often come out neurotic and aren’t even hypoallergenic. There are so many dog breeds out there that would be a better fit for most families.

[@Kezzers]

What you meant to say is don't buy any dog from a backyard breeder.

[@theirmom4723]

Funny...I just acquired my doodle from a "backyard" breeder and she is healthy as can be, had her first shots and vetting, and her parents are in excellent health. The puppies area was immaculate as were her litter mates. I think what you mean to say is...don't buy from just any backyard breeder or online. That is where you can really get into trouble.

[@Doriau]

@@theirmom4723 I’d recommend looking into what is required for a properly health tested dog to be bred. Additionally many health issues come later in life so even if the puppy is in good health now it’s possible that won’t be the case forever. Also how do you know the parents are in good health? What tests were done by a vet to determine this?

[@Doriau]

@@Kezzers sure that too, but when the video is specifically about doodles I wanted to be specific. Many folks don’t realize when getting a doodle the issues behind the breeding of them.

[@Doriau]

@@theirmom4723 also I’m am by no means attacking your dog in particular, you can love your dog and give them the best life ever but acknowledging that the way they came into the world wasn’t ethical and deciding to no longer support that money hungry industry is also important

[@tontolapiko1067]

step one: don't buy a doodle hope this helps

[@RedPillDrugs]

My mini golden doodle pup tries to eat his own 💩. He’s like the Tasmanian devil too. First day of professional training today though. Wish me luck!
