subject: Labradoodle Puppy Training - 5 Important Factors [print this page] Labradoodles are hybrid dogs born from the cross of a Labrador and a poodle. Their personality and temperament reflects it clearly. If you want to keep labradoodle as a pet, then you can have the choice of different colors like chocolate, cream, chalk, cafe, silver and apricot.
They are extremely energetic, intelligent, playful, friendly and non-aggressive dogs. Due to their non-aggressive nature, they have become the ideal family dog. After buying, you should take your labradoodle to the veterinary and give him the necessary vaccines. Also, start training as early as possible because research have found that it is hard to train old dogs as they learned negative behaviors at their early stage and become rebellious as they grew up.
Keep these 5 things in mind before buying a labradoodle puppy:
1. It is a wise decision to buy labradoodle puppy from a reputed breeder after doing some research. Research may include the tasks like examining the puppy's parents for any kind of diseases like elbow dysplasia, hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism and retinal atrophy.
2. Don't think of buying labradoodle puppy unless you are not determined to take care of all the expenses that will get incurred in the process of labradoodle puppy training and other expenses like feeding, insurance, vet bills, etc. related to him.
3. How you have planned to manage his training is also one of the important factors. If you don't have enough space in your home, then probably it will be difficult to involve them in exercise. Without exercise, they will become unhealthy and dull. So, take them to park and public places for this purpose.
4. Time is what you need to have plenty of if you want to buy any kind of puppy for your home. Just training and staying with your puppy on holidays will not be enough. You have to spend some hours with him each day if you want him to become a well behaved, normal and obedient dog.
5. Buying some new puppy is not like buying a new shoe for yourself. Your brand new shoe may look like garbage for you in some months and you opt to buy another one. This kind of feeling shouldn't come in the case of labradoodles. They have the life expectancy of 12-15 years and you must be committing yourself to live with your dog within that period with lot of fun and excitement and without regrets.
