Puppy Tips
5 Tips on House Training Your Dog
House training your puppy can be hard and frustrating. At Colonial Village Labradoodles, we love to offer our families helpful tips and recommendations that will make the house training process as easy and smooth as possible.
Tip #1: Management
It’s important to manage your dog’s environment, especially within the first few months of brining your puppy home. Crates and baby gates are very helpful in maintaining controlled areas and can help prevent accidents when you are not watching. Having these areas will also help your dog understand what areas are appropriate for them to go as they continue to learn to use the bathroom outside.
We send our puppies home with pine pellets that are used for these designated potty training areas. This is a Pavlovian way of potty training and has worked great for our CVL dogs!

What is a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle?
Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
