    Dontevia is the best! She helped take our puppy from a nightmare to the best dog we could have asked for in just a few weeks. She sets the standard wonderfully for your pets and communicates how to continue setting the standard both at home and in a public setting. She always listens to our concerns and questions and explains everything so well. Dontevia is able to break things down in a way that makes sense, while also clearly and effectively communicating with your pup. She builds such a wonderful relationship with the pet, as well as the client. With Dontevia's guidance, our Rango has become a confident and well behaved pup at only 8 months old. He is able to enjoy much more freedom and join us on more adventures that would not have been possible without this training. We are constantly receiving compliments on how well behaved Rango is and he loves having a job that is mentally stimulating and fun!

    We have had three training sessions so far with Dontevia and we are beyond impressed. Our dog, Rocky, has already shown such a huge improvement in his behavior and responsiveness. Dontevia is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. She explains each step in a way that makes it easy to understand and continue practicing at home. This has been the most effective, positive experience by far. We’re so grateful for the progress Rocky has made and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog trainer!

    Dontevia is the ABSOLUTE BEST! She’s wonderful to work with and gives clear, direct instruction on how to train your dog. Her energy is always positive and my girl responds SO well to her. Our training with Donte has given my girl so many essential skills and improved confidence to enable her to be a service dog for my needs. If you’re looking into any type of dog training - Elite is the place and Dontevia is your girl! I specifically chose to have ALL of my training sessions with her and our progress is amazing. Nami has the opportunity to be an amazing service dog because of this experience, and we are so happy with our choice to choose Elite and Dontevia!!

    Dontavia is so knowledgeable and patient with Honey and me. Its been a pleasure working with her. She is encouraging when I get discouraged. She is very intuned to Honey and her special needs. Honey has come a long way in obedience since we started in just 3 months! I saw a huge difference in just a few sessions. Thank you Dontavia for being such a sweet special person and an awesome trainer.

    Dontavia has been a very encouraging trainer. She works excellently with my Yorkie named Kiwi and myself. She makes sure that Kiwi is obedient, respectful, and uses her manners well. She makes me feel comfortable to ask questions and share concerns that I have with training when we are not at a training session. She is great at offering new ideas for training from all of her experience. I feel fully supported on my service dog training journey. Thank you so very much! She is just fantastic to work with!

    Dontevia is an amazing dog trainer. She helps the client build confidence when unsure if a command is done improperly. Dontevia is also on time every session and is very kind. She’s helpful when correcting the clients mistakes and it helps a lot! I recommend her for anyone looking for a service dog training. She helps the dog believe in themselves and the client as well. She even is responsive to any questions you may have after the training session is over on days you’re not training.

    We have two Great Danes that have so much energy and strong personalities. We were to the point we couldn’t even have friends over or go out of town. Dog training elite has completely changed our dogs behaviors, for the better! Steve is amazing and patient. Dontevia (super sweet trainer) is so kind and outgoing, she created a bond with our youngest Dane that trusts no one! Would recommend to everyone! It saved our home atmosphere, won’t own another dog without this training.

    We have a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix that Dontevia has been training to become a service dog, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Her expertise, patience, and calm confidence make all the difference. No matter the challenge, she always has a thoughtful solution, and it’s clear our dog absolutely adores her. Highly recommend Dontevia for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer!

    These guys are legit!!! They’re knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. Dontevia has been great as well. She very attentive and addresses our concerns with solutions.

    Dontevia is the best! She is so easy to work with and learn from. Over the past month, she has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive as we’ve worked with our pup. Her training techniques are both effective and gentle, and she always takes the time to explain the “why” behind each method, ensuring we feel confident reinforcing the training at home. Not only does she have an amazing connection with dogs, but she also knows how to coach owners to bring out the best in their pets. In just three weeks, our pup has gone from having minimal obedience training to no longer pulling on the leash, mastering sit and stay, and even going to her place on command. The transformation has been remarkable, and it’s all thanks to Dontavia’s expertise and dedication. If you’re looking for a professional, caring, and highly skilled trainer, we wholeheartedly recommend Dontavia and Dog Training Elite!

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 Augusta 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!
