Their intelligence and desire to please makes Goldendoodle training in Connecticut 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.

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 Connecticut 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.

    Dog Training Elite and trainer Justin have been terrific to work with and I have seen very positive results with my dog. My dog and I have worked with Jason over several 1-1 sessions and his training is clear and easily applied. His feedback to me has been very helpful in addressing issues such as barking, reactivity, leash pulling and basic obedience. In addition to 1-1 sessions, the group training sessions have been great opportunities to expose my dog to other dogs in a controlled environment. These sessions also reinforce the training received in individual sessions. My dog loves Jason and responds very well to him, and I appreciate his patient approach to me as I learn to address issues with my dog. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and Jason to receive positive results with your dog!

    I would like to provide a five-star review to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional training program offered by Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. My dog, Khloe, underwent training in Norwalk, CT, where she required obedience training prior to her service dog training. Jason, the trainer, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and expertise, effectively guiding my dog to successfully complete all necessary tasks for this process. The transformation in my dog’s behavior and performance has been significant. I am truly grateful for my decision to choose this company for my dog’s training, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you, Jason, for all that you have done for my dog.

    Wonderful experience working with Jason. Our dog, Ruby, learned quickly and looked forward to seeing Jason each week. He explained everything very clearly and made sure we were comfortable with the training to be done on our own during the week. In addition, he always says to call with any questions or concerns so you fell completely confident as you guide your dog to living their best trained life. We Thank Dog Training Elite for a great training experience for us and our dog!

    Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was amazing. Jason, our trainer, was very knowledgeable and patient, working with each member of the family to make sure we understood the obedience training methods and psychology. The whole team was great when our dear puppy broke his leg and we had to work around his healing process. I also really appreciate how Jason would respond to texts and give us some extra things to try, like when our puppy regressed and started pooping in the house. Thankfully, Jason helped us turn that around within a few days! Kepler, our puppy, looooooves Trainer J, too. And he is a very happy, (mostly) obedient seven month old pup now after working Elite! We all look forward to some upcoming group sessions with Elite!

    Jason was beyond superb. He never became annoyed or irritated by my failure to get my dog to do as instructed, even when I needed 6-7 times before the dog obeyed. He never made me feel incompetent-in fact, he instilled me with confidence that I could get the dog to obey. And I did! Cannot recommend highly enough.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was nothing short of amazing! We originally sought out their help here in Newtown for diabetic alert training for our dog, Lucky, but we got so much more. Thanks to the dedication and personalized training from Jason, Lucky is now able to go everywhere with us, without any issues. ​We recently took a trip and received so many compliments on how well-behaved Lucky was. He was incredibly responsive to all his commands, including come, heal, sit, and lay. He stayed right by our side, even in new environments. Lucky was able to join in on all of our family activities, including going to restaurants, the beach, and even an arcade center! He laid patiently at my feet during meals and relaxed on a yoga mat at the beach. Dog Training Elite has truly given us the gift of being able to take our dog everywhere we go while knowing he is taking care of his responsibilities as a diabetic service alert dog. We are so grateful for all the work Jason put into training Lucky and for all the support provided by the entire team. We highly recommend them!

    I adopted a dog that resided in a shelter for 6 yrs. Roy came from an abusive home and has many fears, anxiety and mistrust of people. I researched training facilities and chose Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. I liked the several levels of programs offered and the write-ups on the trainers. I've worked with Jason for the in-home sessions and have been very pleased with all the information and exercises he has provided to decrease the anxiety/fear/mistrust level. Within a few weeks of training my neighbors started noticing a difference in Roy. I'm looking foward to the group training sessions to continue my dog's journey on learning how to be a dog in the real world. The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT provided top-notch training classes, delivering expert guidance and encouragement that will help my pup thrive with a seamless transition into correct canine behavior. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT

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 of Southern CT 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!
