Goldendoodle Puppy Kindergarten
Why Puppy Kindergarten?
It's all about having a smooth transition
Goldendoodle Puppy Kindergarten is a stepping stone for your puppy. Graduating from the "pack" of littermates to the house manners of your home, Puppy K introduces your new family member to the foundational basics. Goldendoodle puppies thrive with a set schedule! But the change can be very stressful for a puppy and new puppy owners. Our goal is to provide a smooth transition for your Goldendoodle puppy and your family. We then pass the baton of training onto you. You will be given a written schedule to continue with along with extra tips and tricks to equip you to build upon the foundation they've received. You will begin training with a real paw-up!

What Can I Expect From Puppy K?
Skip the sleepless nights
With Puppy K, your puppy will get the familiarity of our home, and still have some litter mates around, while being introduced to the new schedule and training. Our primary focus is to help your puppy gain better bladder control and to sleep in their crate 7 hrs at night by the end of the week. We include crate time, naps, outdoor play, family time, contentment training, meals, and potty breaks. The first week of crate training and potty traing can be tough, let us do it for you!

Crate Training
Gently introducing your Goldendoodle puppy the their crate is such an important step and is foundational to the whole week. We start them off slow with short crate session, giving them positive reinforcement. As your puppy becomes comfortable with their crate the sessions become longer culminating in sleeping 7 hrs in the crate at night!
Bladder Control
This part of Puppy K is all about giving your puppy a lot of opportunities to go potty outside and positively reinforcing that behavior when they do.Young puppies don't naturally have good bladder control, they just go when they have to wherever they are. Intro to potty training teaches them to hold their bladder until they are outside. Potty training a puppy takes weeks and can be stressful for everyone involved. Puppy K starts your puppy off on the right paw!
Contentment
Contentment = Calm
A new puppy will bark and compete for your attention which is normal but not alway wanted. The goal of contentment training is to create a peaceful coexistence between you and your new puppy. Encouraging contentment in a puppy takes months, let us help you get started in your Goldendoodle journey.
