Have you ever wondered how much fun it is bringing a Labradoodle home and introducing them to your family? It true is a unique experience for the puppy and the family. Labradoodles are highly intelligent dogs, so over time they can become a well-mannered, remaining quietly at your side and eager to follow our every command.

When Is The Best Time To Bring Your Puppy Home?

If your Labradoodle puppy is eight weeks old when you bring them home, you’ll need to be patient. If your puppy is ten to twelve weeks old when they’re brought home, they’ll be more rambunctious and subsequently sleep less during the day.

Practice Time

The important thing to remember about practice time is to not be in a hurry and practice every day. Remember, you don’t set the pace for learning, you puppy does.

Your training sessions should last for only two to five minutes, that way you’re matching the attention span length of your Labradoodle. If you push them longer, they may stop paying attention to you.

When Not To Practice

Don’t start a training right after your Labradoodle puppy has eaten because they’ll be sleepy and the treats you use as rewards won’t be as enticing. However, you can practice at any time throughout the day, even if it’s a three-second “stay.” They will love the attention.

How About Treats?

Basically, treats run a close second to their desire to please you. As for treats, dog biscuits generally aren’t good training treats because they take your puppy too long to chew. A better treat are tiny bits of plain cheese.

What Should I Say?

To see how quickly they can learn their name, try this exercise: In the middle of conversation with a friend, say your dogs name emphatically and watch them take notice. When using the one-word dog training commands, remember that lesson.

Their name gives you their attention; one word tells them what to do. It is “Rover, SIT” – loud and clear. Don’t go this route, “Rover, Sit. Sit. Sit. “Rover, you’re not listening – I said Sit. SIT, Rover! ” That’s nagging and Rover will tune you out just like children will.

Your Labradoodle puppy isn’t being disobedient or stubborn. They’re just confused, so avoid sounding like a drill sergeant! Smile, speak clearly and let the dog do the barking!

Labradoodle Specification

labradoodle dogs

A labradoodle is a designer-dog resulting from the cross breeding of a labrador retriever and a standard poodle (crossbred dogs are often referred to as designer-dogs.) The labradoodle originated in Australia several years ago where they quickly discovered the potential to use labradoodles as service dogs.

Australian labradoodles are a multi generational cross that are typically 25% labrador retriever and 75% standard poodle.

Instead of simply buying diamante collars, however, people are demanding cross bred dogs with catchy marketing names. The idea of creating a non allergic dog was what started the original breeder of the labradoodle, Wally Conran. Someone needing a guide dog who was non allergenic contacted the Guide Dog Association, and Wally successfully crossed a labrador with a poodle that fitted this purpose.

Namely, many unscrupulous people, some with no experience breeding dogs, and others with none, or little, experience breeding labradoodles or other similar crosses, jumped on the bandwagon. For instance, breeding two dogs with similar genetic weaknesses can lead to the new litters born with an increased chance of the health problems associated with those breeds.

Labradoodles are not consistent breeds. The breeders at Rutland Manor and Tegan Park in Australia started their stock from labradors, poodles and labradoodles from Don Evans, another breeder who had discovered the breed independently of the Guide Dog Association. Those labradoodles were legitimate labradoodles, and they kept records of all subsequent breeding. The breeders at Rutland Manor and Tegan Park began calling their dogs, and those descended from that stock by reputable breeders, Australian labradoodles, to distinguish them from the labrador-poodle mixes that were being indiscriminately produced.

The International Labradoodle Association was set up originally to help maintain the quality and characteristics of this new designer dog.
