About Labradoodles

It’s important to start training any puppy early on in their life so the training sticks with them through adulthood.  For a labradoodle puppy, you will want to establish a few commands early in their life, mainly sit, stay, come, and down.  To start training, you will want to do brief sessions of about five minutes in length in which you say the desired command, then show your dog how to do it if necessary (ie. say “SIT” then push down on their bottom, then praise them).  You don’t want to train your labradoodle puppy after meals, or when they are obviously distracted by another dog or person. 

When training your puppy you will also want to reward them with a treat, but you should gradually cut back on treats over time, substituting praise.

Some days it’s so cold I feel like my bones may shatter, and I’m glad I can curl up next to my labradoodle Lucky.  I live near Edmonton in the Alberta province of Canada, and some winters temperatures reach thirty below.  Since I bought him, Lucky has become just as much a part of my bedding as my quilt.  I’ve never had a nicer dog, he refuses to leave my side, and sometimes it seems like he knows when I’m cold.  Lucky is also notorious for trying to fall asleep on top of my head, which is not quite so pleasant. 

Labradoodles are great for cold nights though, and the breed as a whole seems to fare well in cold weather.
