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.

    Working with Dog Training Elite has been an absolute pleasure. After completing our in-home sessions, we’ve seen an amazing improvement in our dog Sassy’s behavior. She is now much better behaved. Justin and Debbie were professional, knowledgeable and caring. Debbie has been knowledgeable, patient, compassionate and dedicated to Sassy’s success. Sassy absolutely loves her. We look forward to continued progress in the group sessions. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite Midlands. Five stars plus!!

    Loghin is absolutely awesome. He introduced us to the program and gave our lab his first lesson today. He’s thorough, patient, and friendly. Explains things well and doesn’t make you feel rushed. He won’t leave until you are comfortable with the lesson being taught. So glad we are a part of his clients.👍

    Justin was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. My Bentley loved him! He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. I look forward to working with Justin and the rest of the team, and I'm excited to see the final outcome! I highly recommend them! Mrs. Debbie has also been absolutely wonderful with Bentley! She’s knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and truly dedicated to helping him succeed. What I appreciate most is that she’s not only there for Bentley, but for me as well. The entire staff has been incredibly supportive, helpful, and phenomenal throughout this journey. We’re so grateful for all they do! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Justin & team have been amazing to work with!! We have one reactive GSD mix and one APBT that is just an over excited goofball, and Dog Training Elite is transforming them into well-behaved, obedient companions! Can't recommend them enough!

    Justin is wonderful and knowledgeable to his craft and gave us an amazing presentation and experience. Louie was just so adorable and obedient.

    They were so helpful! Even though I have to wait to use their services because we are about to move, they have trainers in my area that im moving to in NC! And he even gave me some free great advice to at least help until we can get a trainer in. My dog is being very aggressive near a gate, and they are the only place I found that was willing to help with a potentially aggressive dog. 10/10 would recommend!

    Debbie does a great job with our boys. She has patience and the steady hand that makes the boys understand what to do. She works well with us and I think we are all learning from her. Thanks Ms Debbie.

    As always Ms Debbie did a great job. The boys know she means business and she don't like no monkey stuff. She is firm and they respond well. I like that she is firm but also knows their personality.

    We had a really great experience with Debbie. She was professional, knowledgeable, polite, and very patient with our nervous puppy. We’re really looking forward to continuing to work with her.

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 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!
