About Labradoodles

Labradoodles aren’t much different from other puppies, and training them tends to be quite simple, though it does require patience.  Labradoodles borrow their brains from standard poodles, and are often quite intelligent.  Training an Australian labradoodle begins with patience and repetition.  For all puppy training, repetition is central to the dog remember the activity.  For example, when potty training, often one of the first exercise owners address, for every time the dog pees indoors it will take another week to train them to go outside.  For this reason, it’s best to take puppies outside at least once every hour when they’re young, and once every couple hours when they’re a few months old.  Eventually the dog will be able to hold their bladder for just as long as a normal person, but this doesn’t happen until the dog is at least a year old.

For other training exercises including tricks, it’s important to be repetitive and to reward the dog for success.  However, it’s also a good idea to not dwell on an activity for too long, as the dog will become frustrated.  Just return to it at a later date and your dog will be more inclined to do it!
