Goldendoodle Training

Goldendoodles, the offspring of a poodle and a golden retriever, make great family dogs. They have the intelligence and sensitivity of poodles and the energy and loving nature of golden retrievers. Their intelligence and desire to please makes Goldendoodle training fun and straightforward.

Although our training programs work for any dog and breed, we recognize that every dog is different and has different needs. We've rounded up some tips for training Goldendoodles to help you with your new furry friend. Using these tips and working with a Dog Training Elite trainer will help your Goldendoodle become a loyal companion.

Start Training Young

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 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.

    This was great! You gave us great tools and advice for working with Little Boy on managing his reactivity. Working every day with muzzle-walks and inthe yard. Looking forward to the next class. Thanks!

    We have been working with Hannah to get our service dog Pesto trained and it’s been a great experience. Our dog adores her and she’s great at helping us keep Pesto on track. We are so happy that we choose Dog Training Elite for her training.

    I have been so happy with Dog Training Elite Clarksville. Each trainer has been excellent: Regina, Amber, and Austin. My puppy gets excited to see them. The e-collar has really helped Riley make the right choice making life more harmonious. It's more of a nudge. It, of course, is taking follow through at home, but the combined efforts will ingrain the behavior I am looking for. My puppy is the happiest girl ever. I am learning good ideas and how to work better with Riley than I would on my own. Had I not hired DTEC I would've been a lot more frustrated and had a bratty puppy. It was the right decision for us.

    Trainer Jay worked miracles with my high drive German Shepherd, Rocky. Rocky learned so much from Trainer Jay and my family learned how to train Rocky to be a good member of the family. By the time our private lessons were done, Rocky walked great on a leash, listened and responded extremely well to all of his commands, had almost zero reactivity. He still gets excited and jumps a little when he sees Trainer Jay but we’ll keep working on that. Thanks Trainer Jay and Dog Training Elite of Southern CT for helping with Rocky. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT!

    I can’t begin to tell you how much of a difference this training has made. I was very close to re homing my dog thinking it wasn’t a good fit, his personality and my expectations. Within the first week, there were many big changes that took place. The training process with Alexa kept getting better and my dog’s retention was growing stronger each week. I now have a well behaved 2 yr old guy who is respectful and fun to be with. I can’t thank you enough, Alexa for your patience and kindness.

    As Tina Turner would say, “simply the best.” Thank you. Another splendid session. Knowledgeable, caring, involved and a real mentor to all three of us. Gunner is really rounding into shape.

    Hi we saw Jeff for our first day of training. It went great. He was wonderful with our dog and we are already seeing results. Can’t wait to see how it goes when we have had more training sessions.

    Debbie was very professional and pleasant to talk with. She demonstrated the commands with Luna first and then guided me through with Luna. Great experience.

    I can not say enough good things. We had tried another training place prior to finding Dog Training Elite that was just not working & seemed to be making our dog more stressed. This was the best investment we could have possibly made— truly the best money we could have spent and worth every penny. Our quality of life and our relationship with our dog is amazing now after this training. Every trainer genuinely cared and understood the animals. They always remember our dog by name & she was so excited to see each of them & excited to go to training. My favorite part of this training was that after the 2 weeks of 8 hours a day training, it’s followed by weekly group training we attend where we continue to learn new skills, ask the trainers questions, and socialize with other pets and their owners. I would highly recommend to anyone!

    George at Dog Training Elite Twin Cities was recommended to me by a breeder I respect. George had trained several of his dogs and he was very satisfied and encouraged me to call him. When I contacted George, I found him to be business like, prompt in returning texts, and patient and encouraging when working with me and Millie (my yellow lab puppy). I've been pleased with the training Millie and I have received. George really got to know the personality of Millie and helped me work on some of the behavior concerns I had with her. Now, after 10 weeks of in home training, she's become a sweet, obedient 9 month old puppy.I would highly recommend George at Dog Training Elite Twin Cities. He's a great guy.

    Dog Training Elite has been nothing short of incredible. I honestly can’t say enough good things about their team and the results they’ve helped us achieve. When we started, my dog had plenty of areas that needed work—but through their structured training, patience, and clear guidance, everything changed. They don’t just train your dog—they teach you how to communicate effectively, which made all the difference. The trainers are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about your dog’s success. What really stands out is the transformation. My dog has gone from needing direction to being confident, obedient, and reliable in a variety of environments. Thanks to Dog Training Elite, he’s now at the point where he’s ready to take a therapy dog test—which I never would have imagined before starting. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This program works. It’s an investment that pays off in every aspect of your dog’s behavior and your relationship with them. Highly recommend.

    Hi my name is Jackie and I have a 18 month old Rottweiler named Nova. I rescued her June 2025 from a Facebook add, she was covered in wounds and was living outside with a bunch of other dogs in a small gravel lot. She had never been inside, around people or experienced the world so she came to me very nervous and anxious. After about 6 months of getting to know her and bringing her around to new environments and people I began to notice an escalation in her response to meeting new people which went from cowering and hiding to lingering and nipping and it was impossible for strangers to be in the house and I no longer could bring her to work. Unsure how to help her I started researching and decided to meet with Chris! He was so kind and answered all of my questions and concerns. I was then paired with Karly for training and boy is she a wealth of knowledge!!! In just two sessions we have made HUGE GAINS! Yesterday she laid in her place cot with all of the distractions and triggers of Chris walking around the house and doing things that would normally trigger her. By the end of the session she was completely relaxed and unconcerned of what was happening around her and focused on me. I could cry I am so happy! If you are looking for compassionate, caring, and highly experienced and knowledgeable trainers look no further!

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
Read Less

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 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!
