How to Socialize Your Doodle Puppy: Essential Tips, Tricks, and Expert Advice (Part 1)
Socializing your puppy is one of the most important steps in raising a confident, happy, and well-adjusted Doodle. In this episode, I sit down with Marge Rogers and Eileen Anderson, co-authors of the highly-rated book Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It, to guide you through puppy socialization step-by-step. Whether you’re raising a Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Bernedoodle, or any other Doodle breed, this episode is packed with practical advice tailored to your Doodle’s unique needs.
Even if your Doodle is already an adult, you’ll find valuable tips for improving their confidence and comfort with new experiences. Socialization isn’t just for puppies—it’s an ongoing process for dogs of all ages!
And to make it even easier for you, I’ve created a free Puppy Socialization Checklist you can download at thedoodlepro.com/socialization. Pair it with the expert advice in this episode to help your Doodle thrive!
