Labradoodles are curious and love to explore at their own pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also love running and jumping and rolling in the grass. Trying to have fun while being always restrained is frustrating for all concerned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the investment you make when choosing to become a pet owner is to provide for the safety and enjoyment of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All that can happen right in your own backyard, as long as you have a fenced yard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1572117223-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4250 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1572117223-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Start Training Your Labradoodle Right Away<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will not enroll your month&#8217;s old Labradoodle in an obedience class, but you can set boundaries while your pup is settling into their new home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing so will make them feel more confident in their new surroundings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is better for all concerned that the rules are set out, as it will make the times they get into trouble happen less frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin with just basic commands given with the right measure of patience and firmness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a lot to learn when you are just weeks old, and everything is new and exciting, so patience is a must!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Positive Reinforcement is The Best Way to Train Your Labradoodle<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing how to train a Labradoodle before you bring one home is the best course of action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Labradoodle will respond best to positive reinforcement. It is never a good idea to use fear or intimidation to train your doodle or any other breed of dog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The training process is also a time for bonding and gaining your puppy&#8217;s trust. Reward your doodle for good behavior and correct or ignore bad behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treats, praise, using a clicker for training, all of that will reward them for doing a good job and make them want to do more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive reinforcement will take more patience, but it will help to form a bond that will be lifelong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1095622316.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4253 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1095622316-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1095622316-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1095622316-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1095622316-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1095622316.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tailor Your Training to Your Labradoodle&#8217;s Environment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every home and environment is different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a general rule is that you should always have your pup sit before going out the door, there will be certain rules that are specific to your home and their environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live alone, the play rules will be different from if it was a household with children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set the guidelines from the very beginning so that there is a clear understanding of the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide beforehand if you will allow your pet to be on the furniture or if they will be allowed to sit under the table at dinnertime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There will be a certain amount of \u201clearning on the job\u201d, but for the most part determine your rules before bringing home your new pup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Always, Always be Consistent<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you decide on a rule, be consistent. There would be nothing more confusing than to have the rule enforced on Monday but not on Tuesday and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you can modify your rules as needed, if nipping on Wednesday is not allowed, it should be wrong the rest of the days too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not consistent in your training, you will end up with a confused pooch that is far less likely to follow any of the rules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1463652836-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4249 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1463652836-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Labradoodle Crate Training<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the crate a place that your doodle does not mind being in. Have some soft padding or cozy blanket and <a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/5-best-dog-toys-made-in-the-usa-for-2020\/\">toys<\/a> in the crate to keep them company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When purchasing a crate, get one that your pup will grow into.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it might be hard to know exactly how big your pooch will get, the breeder or person you purchase from should be able to give you an idea of how big the parents were.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a crate that will accommodate the length and height when sitting of your pet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time they spend in the crate should not exceed their age in months plus one hour. So if your pup is two months old, they should not be kept in a crate over three hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Labradoodle Potty Training<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be a dreaded task, and not always a pleasant one, but it comes with the territory. Potty training can be another opportunity to bond and reward your pet for a job well done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to this process is consistency. Let your pup out at the same time each day, and take them to the same spot each time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They will need to go out when they first get up after eating and drinking and before they go to sleep at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the beginning, they are going to need to go more often, so just be mentally prepared for the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide on a word that you will use from here on out for your pup to associate with going to the bathroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat that word when you are taking them outside to do their business. When they get it right, make sure to give them praise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as you had to learn and had slip-ups, so too will your pup need to learn, and they will definitely have slip-ups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is all part of the learning process. Clean up what you need to and give lots of praise when they get it right. They will eventually get it right most all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Train Your Labradoodle to Socialize And Have Manners<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You love your new Labradoodle pup, and you want others to love them, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of dogs are social by nature, and doodles are the happiest when they are with other dogs and people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing you can do to make sure that your fur baby grows up to be a social and friendly creature is to expose them to other pets and people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should happen at places other than your own home. Your pooch needs to be able to know how to act in a variety of situations, like on a walk, at the beach or when a guest at someone else&#8217;s house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take them out as much as possible to get them accustomed to different sights, sounds, and places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you doodle starts to develop any bad habits like jumping on you, you will want to stop that behavior when they are young.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is harder to change habits when a dog gets older, helping them when they are still learning how to mind their manners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1022694619-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4248 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_1022694619-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>In Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Labradoodle will be a wonderful addition to your life.
