THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Each and every labradoodle owner dreams of achieving successful labradoodle training. What is there to hate to a respectful low-shedding pet anyway? With the intelligence of a labrador in addition to the poodle’s energy and eagerness to please, for certain it’s not impossible to mold labradoodles to become nicely-trained pets owners can be truly proud of. Just like their ancestors, this breed is remarkably trainable however, there are a few issues you need to be cautious about.

By avoiding these concerns, you will definitely be heading towards your ultimate mission as dog owner:

1. Don’t wait for your puppy to grow more mature. Labradoodle training ought to start as soon as the pup arrives home. It doesn’t necessarily need to involve advanced training or fancy tricks. Socialization and activities to get him used to the new setting will do.

2. Don’t apply harsh training methods when training your four-legged bundle of joy. If you penalize him each time he commits a mistake, he will never learn but will actually make matters worse for he is more likely to become fearful of you if you continue to hurt him physically.

3. Don’t use the training devices to penalize your dog. Physical punishment is not highly recommended, so is using training devices to punish him. Crates must not be used to imprison him and his leash should not be pulled forcefully if you can’t make him do what you want.

4. Don’t train if you are not in good mood. We all know that a person who is in bad mood is very likely to snap, gets irritated and feel disappointed easily. This in turn can lead you to punish your dog or turn him over to new owners.

5. Don’t train your canine friend soon after eating or drinking. Give him time to process the food properly in order to prevent stomach upset or bloat.

6. Don’t let training sessions last for more than an hour. Ideally, training ought to last for about 20 minutes per session only to prevent boredom.

7. Do not confuse your dog. To prevent confusing your precious four-legged friend, it is ideal to use labradoodle training commands consistently and be firm with the protocols you want to implement. For instance, if you are using “come”, use the very same command through the entire training, not “come here” or “come sweetie”. On the other hand if you are correcting his jumping problem, do so by banning him from jumping regardless of the situation.

8. Don’t let your pet become treat-dependent. To do so, replace treats with praise, pat in the back or time to play ever so often.

The mentioned dont’s seem to be mundane but if you’ll take them seriously, for certain they will affect labradoodle training outcome greatly.
