Tips for your Puppy

Congratulations on your new Doodle puppy! These lovable, intelligent and low-shedding dogs make great companions and will bring a lot of love and joy to your family. However, owning a puppy is a big responsibility, and it’s important to be prepared for the challenges that come with it. Here are some tips for new Doodle owners to help make the transition to puppy ownership a little easier.

1. Training: Doodles are highly trainable and eager to please, which makes them easy to train. Start training your puppy as soon as you bring them home. Basic commands such as sit, stay, come and heel are essential for any puppy and will help establish you as the leader of the pack.

2. Socialization: Socialization is crucial for any puppy, especially for Doodles. They are outgoing and friendly, but they need to be exposed to different people, animals, and environments to become well-adjusted adults. Take your puppy to puppy socialization classes, go for walks in different neighborhoods, and invite friends over to meet your new addition.

3. Exercise: Doodles are active and energetic dogs. They need daily exercise to keep them physically and mentally healthy. A daily walk or run, along with some playtime in the backyard, will help keep your puppy happy and healthy.

4. Grooming: Doodles have a unique coat that requires regular grooming. Brush your puppy’s coat at least once a week to keep it looking shiny and healthy, and trim the hair around their ears and paws as needed.

5. Health: Regular vet check-ups are essential to keep your puppy healthy. Make sure your puppy is up to date on all their vaccinations and deworming treatments.

6. Patience: Raising a puppy takes patience and a lot of hard work. There will be accidents, chewed shoes and other mishaps along the way. It is important to stay calm and patient with your puppy, and remember that they are still learning.

7. Support: Raising a puppy can be challenging, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out to your vet, other dog owners, or breeders for support and advice. They will be happy to help you navigate the ups and downs of puppy ownership.

In conclusion, owning a Doodle puppy is a wonderful and rewarding experience. They are friendly, trainable and low-shedding dogs that will bring a lot of love and joy to your family. With proper training, socialization, exercise, grooming, health care and patience, you and your new companion will have many happy years together. Don’t hesitate to reach out to others for support and guidance, and enjoy this special time with your new furry friend.
