Q. At what age to you start training your Goldendoodle puppies to become a started/Trained puppy?
A. Our training program starts at 16-20 weeks old when we have puppies that have not yet sold by that age.
Q. What are your prices for currently available started puppies that completed the training?
A. Purchase price for a readily available trained Goldendoodle puppies will be the price of the puppy + $500 a very modest training fee.
Puppy prices vary depending on color.
Q. What if you don't have one available & that is the only puppy I am looking for?
A. You may choose to purchase a younger puppy around 12 weeks old if one is available at that time and have us train it for you. click here to see what younger puppies are available. Or you can keep watching our website to see if any become available later.
Q. Can I bring a puppy that I bought somewhere else to be trained and be a started puppy?
A. Unfortunately no. We only train puppies that are born and raised here. Any outside dogs may bring illness to our other puppies as we don't know what they carry and where they've been.
Q. Can I reserve a trained/started puppy in advance?
A. We only train puppies that have remained here past 16 weeks old
and therefore, a future reservation of one is not available.
If we have one readily trained at the very time that you are searching for one, you can then reserve and purchase the puppy and pick it up.
The training of a puppy 12 weeks old or older will be charged an on demand fee of $1050 per week until we achieve the desired results if you are interested in one that has not yet been trained.
Q. What is the training fee if I purchase a younger puppy and have it trained to become a started/Trained puppy?
A. Our training fees are $75 per day which includes, boarding, feeding, full care ( continued worming and vaccination schedule), continued socializing and of course training. Training period required is a minimum of 2 weeks. The puppy will be living with us indoors and participate in all daily family routines & commotion being part of our family on a daily basis. Puppy will learn house manners (such as: not jumping on beds or couches and staying off of them for example),
*-FYI-*
Training lessons by independent trainers start at $95 per session (session can be as short as 20 minutes or as long as 45 minutes) If you were to hire a trainer on your own after you purchase a puppy, trainer will come to your house 2-3 times a week but puppy will not achieve the same results as LIVING with the trainer and participating in all daily life activities as we do here in the amount of time we invest. Therefore, you might spend much more money in training fees to achieve the same training degree puppy will learn with us and buying it as a started puppy here.
Q. Will my puppy be 100% potty trained when it comes home?
A. This depends on the age of the puppy you are buying and YOUR continuous reinforcement of the training your puppy received here. We set the foundation for you, but the rest depends on your practices.
Puppies are crate trained to aid potty training. This means that they sleep in crates, spend time in crates and taught to ask to go to the bathroom. We never allow for accidents in our home, so puppies have no chance making a mistake here. Therefore, all they know is "potty outside".
However, if you the new owner, does not follow our specific training tools, you may have accidents until you do.
Please remember that it is not an adult you are buying and puppies are still in the learning stages.
Q. Do you guarantee the training?
A. Training puppy received here will have to be reinforced at his new home with you. It is your job as the new owner, to keep up the good work we have done here, and add your own training to the existing training foundation we have created- so no, we cannot guarantee the training - as it all depends on you to reinforce and keep it going.
Every household is different and family members must be on the same page in continuing the puppy training.
Households with young children may have more of a challenge unless it is understood that certain guidelines and behaviour of family members must be followed with the new puppy. We can only provide the good foundation for you.
Q. What is your experience in dog training?
A. I have been a dog trainer since I was 15 years old :-). I am now 51 years old and have extensive knowledge in: Obedience training, Schutzhund training, agility training, confirmation show handler and puppy training. Along with my 22 year breeding experience and handling puppies, I consider myself a top notch trainer.
Q. When do I pay for the training fee?
A. You will first purchase the puppy and pay for it in full. Training fees are also due in advance-we estimate two weeks of training so we will be asking to be paid in advance for those two weeks.
Q. Do you provide support after we get our puppy home if we have additional questions and need help?
A. Absolutely! We are still here for you to give you much advice and many tips for as long as you need. Support and advice are always free of charge and we will be delighted to do so. We will also send you home with many training tips so you can know what to expect and how to keep training your own dog independently.
