Some Labradoodles tend to be dominant. However, this stems wholly from the lack of training. Owners should not allow their pet to do whatever it wants. Even the cutest dog needs to be taught good manners and obedience commands.
Labradoodle training begins for your puppy the day you bring him home. Your cute little 15-20 pound puppy is going to grow up (fast!) into a large dog. Don't allow or sanction any behaviour in your puppy you would not allow a full-grown dog to do.
For example, it's so cute when your new puppy jumps up on you to get attention! It's obnoxious, not to mention dangerous, when six months later your now large eight-month-old puppy has just knocked someone to the floor!
When you take a Labradoodle puppy home, many times people have this glorious idea they will take this puppy home and it's going to be perfectly trained. It's not ! They need to do Labradoodle training ! And there are people who give up after three days of not sleeping.
They think they have the worst dog in the world ! So, it would be good to set these expectations straight. When you take a puppy home, it's not going to be everything you want it to be.
Labradoodles are very intelligent dogs. They are capable of learning various tricks easily. Abundance of energy makes these dogs suited for agility training. It is recommended to teach the puppy basic obedience skills during playtime. Labradoodles need a lot of exercise.
They are moderately active indoors. The dogs are happiest with a small yard. Change the place of training from time to time. Highly trainable Labradoodles achieve much success as therapy dogs, obedience and agility competitors.
