Picture your Bernedoodles jumping on everyone, pulling wildly on the leash, and having complete meltdowns when overstimulated at the dog park.
The Right Training Approach for Bernedoodles
The key to training a Bernedoodle lies in leveraging their natural strong attachment to their family and intelligence that makes them quick learners when training stays positive. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Bernedoodles inherit Bernese stubbornness. They are not slow learners -- they are deliberate. Give them time to process commands and make training feel like their idea.
Bernedoodle puppies are heavy mouthers. Provide plenty of chew alternatives and begin bite inhibition early.
The Transformation
Whether your Bernedoodle is a clumsy puppy or a lanky adolescent who still thinks they're lap-sized, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your goofy Bernedoodle greeting people gently, walking on a loose leash through the neighborhood, and handling new experiences with calm curiosity.
