Here’s the problem: most puppies grow up in environments where accidents are common, and cleanup isn’t thorough. Their powerful noses pick up on lingering smells, and suddenly, everywhere feels like a bathroom spot. This creates confusion that can take months to unlearn.
But not with our puppies!
In our program:
✔️ We maintain fresh and clean bedding by changing it frequently and using a natural and effective enzymatic cleaner that completely breaks down urine proteins.
✔️ We provide a potty tray with a distinct scent so even before they can go outside, our puppies learn to associate one spot with potty time.
✔️ We honor their natural instincts to keep their living area clean, reinforcing positive habits from the start.
✔️ We prep their little brains (and bladders!) for success, making potty training at home a breeze.
The result? You’ll spend days, not months, potty training your new puppy. Fewer accidents, faster training, and a stronger bond between you and your pup. Because let’s face it, no one bonds over scrubbing the carpet. 🧼

In their eyes, a universe glows,
A love so pure, it endlessly flows.
With wagging tails and gentle paws,
They soothe our hearts, quiet our flaws.
Through every bark and playful nudge,
They give their all, they never judge.
A healing touch, a loyal stare,
In their presence, we feel repair.
They crave not riches, just your time,
A bond so simple, yet so divine.
For every moment, their love is true,
A puppy’s heart beats just for you.
So hold them close, their love is rare,
A gift that mends, beyond compare.

Our little superstar, Herald, is only 3 weeks and ready to show us how it’s done!
Starting early with a potty tray teaches our puppies there’s a designated spot where to go—and that means easier transitions, fewer accidents, and more peace of mind for you as a puppy parent! 🌟
When puppies learn from day one, they grow up with the confidence to know where to go and eventually when. Our goal is to make the potty-training process as smooth and stress-free as possible for both our puppies and their future families. It’s more than just training; it’s setting up a lifetime of healthy habits! 🐾
How does this benefit you as a future puppy parent?
• Less cleanup stress: Fewer accidents = a happier home and less carpet cleaning bills!
• Strong foundations: They learn to self-regulate early, making them so much easier to train later on.
• A thoughtful transition: This isn’t just about today—it’s about raising pups who are clean, confident, and well-mannered for life. 🌱
Herald’s got it down, and the others are on their way!

In the beginning we weigh pups to make sure they are getting enough milk ie showing healthy, steady gains. Past 2 weeks, we are looking more at growth patterns. The slower the growth, the smaller the pup will be as an adult (in general). Breeders can get pretty close most of the time by plugging into some simple formulas.
HOWEVER, there are plenty of exceptions to the rule! Our Edy is one of them. Using the formula, she should have been about 25 lbs full grown. She is 12 lbs at 9 months old-healthy as can be with excellent structure. Her parents were 22 & 42 lbs. Her genetic testing even predicted her to be 35 lbs. We often think the puppies will be 50% mom and 50% dad, but genetics are not that straight forward.
Mini golden doodles are particularly tricky because they are a mix of a small breed with a large breed. Sizing inconsistency in one of the issues purebred enthusiasts like to harp on about doodles/mixed breeds. If sizing is a big deal for you, know that sticking with purebreds will be less of a gamble.
The formulas can’t predict growth spurts, illnesses, eating habits or genetics. That’s why size predictions are just that—predictions, not promises, we are just being transparent. As a holistic breeder, I embrace that beautiful variation and focus on raising each puppy to be healthy, happy, and well-socialized for a lifetime of companionship, no matter their final size.
💬 I’d love to hear, did you doodle turn out to be in range of their predicted weight?

Doodle parents, let’s talk grooming! ✂️It’s back-breaking work, even if your pup does cooperate (which many don’t.) From baths to blow dry, nails to ears, and even butts… it takes hours of tedious, dedicated work. My least favorite part? Legs—always the legs! 😅
Grooming is a big expense, especially for our doodles, so I get why people have mixed feelings. But these pros deserve every penny for their hard work. Let’s check our expectations and show groomers some generosity. 🐾❤️
But let’s be real, the cost can add up! That’s why knowing how to keep your pup fresh between appointments can make a world of difference. Not only can you save a little, but you can also stretch that gorgeous, professional look while bonding with your pup. @pupwell has a training course as well as quality tools. This has been phenomenal for setting me up with the confidence and success I needed to maintain my dogs’ coats.

✨ Training Tip of the Day! ✨ Ever feel like your pup has you wrapped around their little paw? Burrito, my clever little 13 week golden doodle puppy, is learning that good things come to those who sit (and wait patiently!). 🐾
Here’s the deal: for dogs, any attention—eye contact, talking, or opening the door—feels like a win! If Burrito jumps up and I look down or say, “No,” guess what? To him, that’s still a reward. When a puppy gets what is a reward to them, they repeat the behavior. So how DO you respond to unwanted behavior? No eye contact, no words, just a calm back turned.
💡 Pro Tip: Try this at home! Next time your pup is too excited, turn away, go quiet, and wait for calm. Here is was watching his reflection in the window, but a quick peek over your shoulder would work as well. Reward them with praise/pets/treats only when they are calm and you will start to see more of that behavior.
Could you see Burrito’s gears turning as he worked hard to figure it out? Imagine having a dog who is that in tune with you—who wants to be his best self. It’s all about connecting, teaching, and celebrating the small wins! 💛🐾
🌟 Save this for later to remember this winning technique.

When I said “good boy” he was anticipating the release, but stopped himself when he realized it wasn’t the right words 🧠
This handsome 13-week-old, food-motivated pup is making amazing strides in his training! 💪 With a big appetite, mastering impulse control is crucial—for his safety, for a happy household, and for smooth mealtimes with other pets. Here’s why:
1. Health & Safety: Teaching him what he can and can’t eat helps keep him from snacking on things that could harm him.
2. Family Harmony: If he’s joining a home with another dog, this training can make mealtimes a calm experience (and prevent food fights!).
3. Lifelong Skills: Food-motivated training lays the foundation for all kinds of good behavior. 🐾
Check out out earlier reel where I used a lead to hold him off his food until I gave the okay. Once he had mastered the lead without any pulling, we moved to using a small barrier. This early foundation pays off for life, keeping him safe, happy, and well-mannered in any family setting.
➡️ Share with friends who could use these tips, especially if their dog lives for snacks!
