The best time to start training your Goldendoodle is from day one! If you bring your new four-legged family member home as a puppy, we recommend you start Columbia goldendoodle puppy training as soon as possible. Puppies are eager to learn and please, so starting commands from a young age will build a firm foundation for more training as they grow.

We offer training programs for puppies as young as eight weeks. But don't worry if you start training with your Goldendoodle later in life. Our tried–and–true Dog Training Elite training programs work for dogs of any age.

    Justin and Debra are so patient, positive and encouraging with their guidance with me during training. I’m seeing such a big change in my 2 dogs. My female shepherd was not fond of men at all. She now responds positively to Justin. My Great Dane is more respectful and following commands regularly.

    Justin demonstrated and explained the methods and various techniques used. Very polite and pleasant and Louie Is Also I would like to add that most of our sessions have been led by Debbie. She shows great patience and affection with our two young dogs and has helped us understand their behavior and how to correct it. She is prompt and always reminds us to reach out if we have any questions.

    I’m applying so many great things I’ve learned from Annabelle towards the obedience of my dog, Sercy. Annabelle was very professional, had a great disposition in each training session, and proved to be an excellent instructor. Through her I‘ve gained the confidence I need to handle obedience and enjoy interacting with my dog for many years to come! A couple of years ago Sercy had boarding/training with another company. It proved unsuccessful because I wasn’t able to attend the sessions due to the travel distance. Now, with Dog Training Elite, we did it the right way!

    The team worked with us in a way we didn't anticipate. Annabelle , our regular awesome trainer was present. Justin, who did our initial assessment was here, and Rick, who we just met today. They worked with both my dogs to assess progress and additional needs mid way of training. One pup needs increased work with male humans. The other needs work on aggression, which was clarified today. We will work on skills already taught and demonstrated plus add the male trainer component. We look forward to more progress.

    Justin has been fantastic! We adopted Remy last July and immediately knew there was something special about him. Justin helped us take him from stray shelter pup to a certified hospital therapy dog! We are also reaching out to libraries and grief groups to see if anyone needs a large, silly but calm, dog who is trained to work in therapy settings!

    I’ve been training at Dog Elite for about a month now, and I’ve already seen a dramatic difference in my puppy’s behavior. My trainer, Annabelle, has been absolutely amazing. She’s so calm, patient, and incredibly personable, which makes the whole process feel easy and comfortable. She’s also very understanding and always takes the time to help and explain things clearly. Annabelle is super sweet and welcoming, and you can tell she really cares about both the dogs and their owners. I’m so grateful we were paired with her and would highly recommend Dog Elite!

    Logyn was empathetic with challenges experienced with our now 22 week old Lab. We visited Lowes to expose our puppy to different noises. I had so much anxiety. Not knowing how she would react to the environment. But she did well. We worked on commands. Very good training, we have homework. Thanks Logyn!

Begin with Simple Commands

Read More
Read Less

The best way to start training—whether as a puppy or a grown dog—is with simple commands. Starting with simple and easy–to–understand commands will build confidence and trust with your dog. This is essential with a sensitive dog like a goldendoodle. We suggest starting with commands like “sit,” “heel,” “down,” and “come” Once you and your pup have these commands down, it will be easier for both of you to move on to more complex and fun commands.

Work on Eliminating Unwanted Behaviors

Read More

Although Goldendoodles have many desirable traits, a few undesirable behaviors are associated with them. The behaviors that we often see are trouble with house training, jumping, and barking. Once you have developed a good training foundation with simple commands, you can start working on eliminating unwanted behaviors.

The trainers at Dog Training Elite Midlands SC can work with you and your Goldendoodle to solve specific behavioral problems. Using our balanced training theory, we can eliminate unwanted behavior.

More Training Tips!

Goldendoodle Breed Training

Here are some additional tips you can follow when training you goldendoodle puppy:

Goldendoodles are very interactive and energetic animals, so socializing them with other dogs is essential to ensuring they are well behaved. Starting socialization at a young age is beneficial, but it can be accomplished at any age. Dog Training Elite offers group obedience classes, which are a great way to continue Goldendoodle dog training while socializing your dog in a safe environment.
Most goldendoodles are relatively easy to train, but remaining consistent is essential. When training any dog, you must show your dog that you expect a specific behavior to happen every time. In return, show your dog that you will be consistent with teaching and responding to incorrect behaviors. Consistency during your goldendoodle dog training will help your pup learn correct behavior quickly.

One of the most important things to remember when training your Goldendoodle is to be patient. Training a puppy or teaching an older dog new commands can be challenging and take some time. Have patience with your dog and yourself, and you will be successful!
