Question 2

What do you recommend for Potty Training/Crate Training?

Accepted Answer

**Please Note: The concept can be applied to any living situation, but you may look into grass squares or other methods if you do not have a yard!
Potty training can seem overwhelming. Every puppy is different. There are hundreds of videos you can watch on YouTube to help you prepare for potty training. Our puppies are 100% potty trained through a doggy door before they go home. We know that you probably don’t have a doggy door, and that is okay! What that means to you is that the puppy understands the concept of potty training. We highly recommend bell training with potty bells. I will list the steps below; however, we recommend watching potty training videos using a bell before attempting this yourself.
First, figure out a routine. Until the puppy is potty trained, it should be eating four times a day. ALL IT WANTS TO EAT with each feeding! (Goldendoodles will not overeat, and if they don’t eat all they want, they will start finding other things to eat).
For example: fill a food bowl halfway, put it down when it is time for the puppy to eat, then put it back up when the puppy walks away; if the puppy eats all the food in the bowl, then fill it back up. After the puppy eats, pick it up, take it to the potty bells if using and use the puppy paw to ring the bell. Take it out to your designated location to use the bathroom. Every time a puppy eats, it will eliminate within 5-15 minutes, so be patient do not give up after 5 minutes. You may have to stay out for up to 20 minutes until the puppy gets more familiar.
Second, in the PROCESS of the puppy using the bathroom, praise the puppy! (This means acting like the puppy scored a shot from half-court as the buzzer is sounding in a double-overtime game!) After the puppy is finished, you can also give a little treat. I recommend honey nut cheerios as they are small.
So, now we have the poop training down (every time they eat, they’ll eliminate). The next step is understanding potty training. Essentially potty training is repeating the same steps as above, except you will take the puppy out EVERY HOUR during the day until it starts ringing the bells by itself!

Question 4

What do you recommend at night?

Accepted Answer

First, do NOT be getting up every hour at night. We recommend crate training at night only.
Your crate has a divider in it. Divide the crate so that it is big enough for your puppy to stand up and turn around but not get off its bed.
We recommend the last feeding for your puppy should be around the same time you eat dinner. Then put the food up for the night. Take the water bowl away an hour before you go to bed. The last person to bed should take the puppy out to potty. Then put the puppy in the crate. The puppy will probably whine for 15 or so minutes. DO NOT give the puppy any attention while it is whining. If you do, it will be worse the next night. If the puppy wakes up in the middle of the night and cries, you will need to get up and take the puppy out. First, a person up in the morning should get the puppy out of the crate and take it out to use the bathroom.
Be consistent until your puppy is trained. Once fully trained, you can let the puppy sleep on the bed or wherever you would like.

Question 5

What food should I feed?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you stay on the food we are currently feeding (Nutrisource small and medium puppy food) for a least one bag to help with the transition. You can find the food by looking at the shopping list page. If you want to change the food, you will need to mix the old food with the new food. To do this, you will take 1 cup of the old food and 1 cup of the new food and mix them in the bowl. Do this until the old food is gone (about three days).
We don’t care what food you feed as long as it is good quality food. The puppy will need to stay on puppy food for a least one year.
Make sure the puppy food that you get does NOT say GRAIN GREE. Grain-free food is damaging hearts and killing dogs or changing their behavior.
Once fully potty trained, you can leave the food out 24/7.

Question 6

What is a microchip and does my dog have one?

Accepted Answer

Your puppy is microchipped. We recommend registering your microchip with ACKReunite.com. We will give you the microchip number, and the microchip will start with a 932. This documentation will be located in your Purina folder.
What does a microchip do? A microchip does not actually track your puppy. If your puppy is lost, the puppy will be scanned. If you register the chip to your name, your information will show up to the individual who scans the puppy so they can get the puppy back to you.

Question 7

What vaccinations will my puppy have before coming home?

Accepted Answer

Your puppy is up to date on vaccinations per age. This means that your puppy still needs vaccinations every 2-3 weeks until the puppy reaches 16 weeks of age. You will find your vaccination history inside the Purina folder. If you are flying your puppy, it will be located on top of the carrier in a zip lock bag.

Question 8

How often should I bathe my puppy?

Accepted Answer

Do not bathe your puppy more than twice a month. Of course, use common sense; if your puppy gets muddy, then bathe it.
After the bath, use a cotton swab to dry the inside of the ear canal carefully. This will prevent ear infections.
We recommend using an oatmeal-based shampoo. We use a brand called Tropiclean. You can find this product on our shopping list page.

Question 9

Where can I take my puppy?

Accepted Answer

Do NOT take your puppy to pet friendly places until they are 16 weeks of age and FULLY VACCINATED. 
Please understand that at 8 weeks of age you are taking home a baby. They are not fully immunized until 16 weeks of age. (If you think of it...would you take a newborn baby into Walmart and place it on the floor or in the shopping cart?) These pups are no different. You must be careful until they are 16 weeks of age. 
PLEASE introduce the puppy to other dogs that you know are healthy. It is important for them to play and socialize. Friends and family pets are fine. We are simply just avoiding areas we don't know about.

Question 10

I work during the day? Should I crate my puppy till I get home?

Accepted Answer

NO. We understand you must work, but we do not believe the crate all day is a good option. The puppy cannot move and grow correctly inside a crate. Your puppy needs exercise throughout the day.
We suggest: Getting a play pen for them to play in, but not have full roam of the house. 
OR if you have a fenced in back yard, your dog will do very well playing there till you get home as long as they have shade, water, and food. OR if you have a small room such as a laundry room that they can be in for the day. 
 
The more exercise your puppy/dog gets during the day the better your puppy will be for you.
