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.

    After being n vacation for 10 days I was pleasantly surprised by how well our boys are doing. We were in FL and the boys were very stimulated by the crowds and noises at Universal Studios. We had compliments as to how well behaved they were. Today they learned a new skill (closing draws and doors). They were very proud of themselves!

    Elite Dog Training – A Real Game-Changer After trying two other dog training companies that delivered zero results, I finally found the solution with Elite Dog Training—and what a difference. My dog, now 14 months old, has transformed into a focused, highly trained companion well on his way to becoming a legitimate service animal. The previous services turned out to be little more than slick websites outsourcing to inconsistent trainers, and none of them made meaningful progress. Elite was different from the start. They provided direct, hands-on training with real professionals who clearly understand canine behavior and training science. I saw improvements within weeks—obedience, responsiveness, and calm behavior that I couldn’t achieve elsewhere. Unlike the “middleman” services I encountered before, Elite doesn’t just promise results—they deliver them with consistency and care. If you're frustrated with ineffective training programs, I cannot recommend Elite Dog Training enough. They’re the real deal and they changed everything for us.

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.

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!
