Advice from our professional Australian Labradoodle trainers
The earlier puppy training starts, the more successful it will be. Teach your dog the rules as soon as it becomes part of the family. It is easier to start off on the right paw than to unlearn an unwanted behavior.

Engage the entire family in puppy training
The whole family should be engaged in puppy training. Rules need to be consistent, and the same training words should be used by each family member.
Stacey has done a wonderful job of crate training the puppies. It is imperative to continue this to encourage good potty-training habits, and prevent inappropriate chewing and other unwanted behaviors.
Exercise and mental stimulation is very important
Appropriate exercise and mental stimulation at all times of the year are critical for puppy training. There is an abundance of indoor and outdoor activities that can be used to accomplish this. Providing enough appropriately-sized bones, and toys with different textures, sounds, and purposes will help with your dog’s development. Puppies grow quickly; have bones and toys that will last for an extended period.
