Puppy Tips
Keeping Your Dog Calm Around Backyard Critters
We are back with another blog post from Baxter and Bella! This online training website offers a variety of helpful and productive tips as you care for and train your four legged friend. At Colonial Village Labradoodles, we love telling our friends about Baxter and Bella!
This helpful blog posts encourages dog owners as they navigate their dog’s reactivity to animals that appear outside of your home. Whether your dog wants to chase them or just go outside to get a closer look, it’s important to train your dog’s reactivity.
“Reactivity around small animals can take time to shift. You may not see a huge difference overnight, but each time your dog sees a critter and doesn’t lose their mind, you’re making progress. Over time, with enough practice and support, your dog will start learning that staying calm can be just as rewarding as chasing.We’re not trying to take the squirrel-loving nature out of them. We’re just teaching them how to be a little more thoughtful and a little less reactive. And that’s a win for both of you.”

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).
