Labradoodle training is an important part of your dog's growth and development. Your dog should learn all of the basic commands including: Sit, Down, Heel, and Come. He/she should also receive proper obedience training, which is most effectively taught in an obedience class, and should also be properly disciplined and socialized.

To make wonderful companion dogs, Labradoodles have to receive early socialization and obedience training. The breed is very playful and enjoys human contact. The Labradoodle likes playing with children and is very friendly toward the family. Aggressiveness is not encouraged in the breed. 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.

House Training a Puppy
It is your job, as the well-informed and loving dog owner, to teach your dog the correct place to potty. This is best accomplished without too much anger and frustration on your part, remember your puppy doesn't know until you show them. By remaining calm and staying consistent, house training your puppy should turn out to be a quick process with a happy ending.

There are a number of methods that you can employ for house training your puppy. The most popular & effective way to house train your puppy is to use a crate. This has become the preferred approach to house training a puppy in recent years for a number of reasons.

It will also teach your puppy that when he feels the urge to potty, he can hold the urge until he gets to the appropriate location. House training a puppy using the crating method often results in far fewer accidents that will need to be cleaned.

House training a puppy will be challenge of your patience, but it is far from impossible. With consistent instruction on where he is to go, and lavish amounts of praise when he makes the right choice, your little pup will get house training down in no time at all.

The Release Command
There are more than just the standard commands that you can teach your dog. There are other commands that may also prove to be quite useful such as the release command.

The release command involves using a command that prompts your dog to release the item he/she holds in his/her mouth to you. The command that is typically used for this form of Labradoodle training can be "Give!" or "Let Go!"

The purpose of teaching the release command is to train aggression out of your dog, while still showing that you are in control.
