From Naughty to Nice - 5 Tips to Increase Good Behavior in Goldendoodles Puppies
The puppy years are a time of endless energy and curiosity, but this can sometimes lead to naughty behavior. Older Goldendoodles can be just as hyperactive and overexcited as their younger counterparts - they just have the strength to do more damage with those behaviors.
So if you're an owner of an energetic pup, dealing with their naughty behavior isn't as difficult as it might seem. To help curb bad habits in your Goldendoodle, we've put together 5 steps that will improve good behavior!
1. Make sure your Goldendoodle puppy gets plenty of exercise. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog!
Goldendoodles are a wonderful breed of dog with a lot of energy and curiosity. As puppies, they often become overexcited and frantic, which can lead to them forgetting their manners. The best way to deal with this is by making sure your pup gets plenty of exercise. So make sure you take your Goldendoodle for walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, or a short walk will help get their energy out and improve their behavior.
The benefits of giving your Goldendoodle puppy exercise are twofold - they not only get the energy out, but they also learn how to behave appropriately. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog, and Goldendoodles are no exception!
2. Set rules and boundaries for your pup and stick to them. This will help them understand what is expected of them.
Puppies are a joy to have around the house, but they can also be a handful. Like children, Goldendoodle puppies thrive in a safe environment. Boundaries give your puppy a sense of safety as they get to know what is ok and not ok in your house. Setting rules and boundaries for puppies will help them understand what's expected of them. This way you'll know that you're raising a well-behaved pet who won't forget
One example of setting boundaries is teaching them to not jump up on people. This can be very simple, but it is also something you must repeatedly enforce to make sure the behavior stops.
Another boundary could be not allowing your pup on the furniture unless given permission.
And finally, when they're in their crate or kennel, make sure they're in a quiet place where they won't be bothered by outside noise and other distractions.
3. Provide plenty of positive reinforcement when they exhibit good behavior. This will encourage them to keep up the good work!
People who have Goldendoodles puppies know they are still very young and, as such, their doodle-ness can lead to naughty behavior at times.
When your pup is doing something good or behaving appropriately, it’s important to give them positive reinforcement so they will learn that the right action leads to a reward.
The best time for this is when you observe your puppy doing something right; just say “good!” in a cheerful tone of voice and then offer them a treat or toy. You could also pat their head or body gently if you want to encourage more good behavior. This should be done every time your dog does anything well (not just during training sessions). With consistency and patience, your Goldendoodle pup will develop good behavior habits that will last a lifetime.
4. Be consistent with your discipline when they display bad behavior. This will help them understand that their actions have consequences.
If you want to train your Golden Doodle to not engage in bad behavior, it is vital that you are consistent with the discipline when they do. This will help them understand that their actions have consequences and will help lead them to better behavior. If you are inconsistent with the discipline, your dog may become confused and not understand why they are being scolded for one action on one day but not the next. This can lead to even more bad behavior as they will be testing how far they can push boundaries.

5. Make sure you provide plenty of toys and activities to keep your Goldendoodle entertained - especially when you're not able to give them attention. This will help minimize naughty behavior and prevent boredom from setting in.
Puppies need attention. If you're not able to give them the time they need, make sure that they have lots of toys and activities to keep them entertained.
Toys like Kongs, Chuckit balls, or anything interactive can help minimize naughty behavior and prevent boredom from setting in. Plus, it's a great way to tire them out so they're not as active when you are home.
Naughty behavior is often a sign of boredom or lack of attention. If you can't give your Goldendoodle the time they need, make sure you have plenty of toys and activities to keep them busy. This will help minimize naughty behavior and prevent boredom from setting in.
Side Note:
You may also want to consider crate training your puppy if you are away for long periods of time; this will help provide a sense of security when left alone for longer than usual (especially at night).
With these tips, you can help your Goldendoodle puppy make the transition from naughty to nice. By providing plenty of attention, exercise, and stimulation, you can help them learn how to behave appropriately in social situations. And remember – consistency is key! Be patient and stay consistent with your training methods, and soon your Goldendoodle will be the well-mannered pup you always wanted.
