Hey there, fellow dog lovers! It's Down Home Doodle, back with another helpful Blog Post! If there's one thing I've learned from my Bernedoodle pals, it's that training isn't just about commands—it's about unleashing the joy of learning together! From the hilarious moments of trial and error to the heartwarming victories, training your furry friend is a journey filled with tail wags and high fives. So, grab those treats and get ready for a paw-some adventures as we dive into the world of training with our four-legged besties!
Here’s 3 Ways Trick Training Boosts Your Dog's Life
Strengthen Your Bond: Spending time teaching your Bernedoodle tricks deepens your connection and improves obedience.
Teach Patience: Through repetition, your dog learns to wait patiently for rewards, building their patience skills.
Burn Excess Energy: For hyperactive dogs, trick training provides mental stimulation and a way to channel their energy positively, reducing destructive behaviors.
Before you begin, remember:
When it comes to trick training your Bernedoodle, using the right treats can make all the difference in keeping your pup motivated and focused. High-value treats, like those from Down Home Dog Treats, are perfect for rewarding your Bernedoodle during training sessions. These treats are not only delicious but also approved by our family pets and members of our Down Home Doodle Training Program, making them ideal for keeping your furry friend interested and excited about learning new tricks. Whether you're teaching basic commands or advanced tricks, having the right treat in hand will help your Bernedoodle stay engaged and eager to please.
COMMANDS & TRICKS
SIT
Setting the Stage:
Place your foot on your Bernedoodle's leash to limit movement.
Ensure there's enough space for your dog to sit comfortably but not jump up.
Starting the Training:
Hold a treat above your dog’s head to encourage them to sit naturally.
As they move into the sitting position, say “sit” clearly.
Repetition and Reward:
Repeat the process consistently.
Reward your dog with treats or praise each time they successfully sit on command.
Continue practicing until your Bernedoodle reliably responds to the "sit" command.

Teaching your dog these tricks not only boosts their smarts but also strengthens your bond. Remember, patience, consistency, and positivity are key. Enjoy unlocking your dog's talents and making memories together!
Socializing your puppy is just as important as training. Exposing them to a variety of people, places, and experiences is crucial for their development. This helps them grow into well-adjusted, confident dogs that are comfortable in different environments. A well-socialized puppy is less likely to develop behavioral issues and more likely to adapt to new situations with ease.
