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 Knoxville 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.

    Rhett is knowledgeable and can explain things in a clear and understandable manner without being condescending. I left today thinking my dog is not failing because I was about to give up on her becoming a service dog.

    Trainer Rhett does an awesome job with explaining the program and tailoring to the specific needs of the pup and client. He is really good at breaking down the instructions with the e-collar, explaing command expectations, and boosting the confidence of the client and of the pup. My once fearful dog and my worried self now know how to handle the challenges ahead.

    23 Apr 2026: Rhett was absolutely awesome working with my service dog in training. I had a gap in sessions due to medical reasons and he was great with instruction and getting us back on a structured path. Dog Training Elite has gone above and beyond in accommodating me in a rural area by coming out an hour and half just to make sure we are getting the training and resources we need! Watching my dog progress after each session and getting the handler skills needed to continue work between instructor lead sessions is really an amazing to experience. 06 Aug 2025: First day of training was exceptionally informative. Julia was extremely professional and knowledgeable instilling confidence moving forward. I definitely know I made the right choice for my service dog needs. 18 Sept 2025: Fast forward into a few sessions later and still absolutely impressed with the level of professionalism and results

    Rhett was excellent working with Dixie! She is normally skiddish of new people, especially males. He knew the right way to approach her, and had her by his side within minutes of first meeting her. Highly recommend!!!

    Rhett is super focused on what our family needs from our training sessions. He always asks if we have questions. Our dog is a challenge and he is very creative with ways to help us keep her engaged. Rhett is a great asset.

    From the moment I sent the initial request email, to Parker showing up the very next day, the entire experience has been wonderful! We chose the Platinum package and already have our first appointment scheduled this week!! I’ve already picked up a few techniques to help with our dog’s patience, and they’re already working! Our main challenge has been barking—especially at other dogs, whether they’re walking by or on TV. Our dog isn’t aggressive at all, just excited and a bit overly talkative. We’re really excited to continue working with Parker and the rest of the team to help make life a little quieter (and calmer) for everyone!!!

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 Knoxville 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!
