More Than Just 'Sit' and 'Stay'.

Most trainers treat every dog the same. But Poodle mixes are different—they are highly intelligent, sensitive, and eager to please. As both a breeder and a trainer, I use a specialized approach that works with your dog’s unique psychology, not against it.

Our Philosophy

What People Are Saying

  • The "Puppy Foundation" (Early Training)

    "Raising a 13-week-old is no joke! The Academy's early neurological stimulation tips were exactly what we needed to get through those first few weeks without losing our minds. Our vet even commented on how stable and calm our puppy's temperament is. If you're looking for training that actually makes sense for doodles, this is the one." — Sarah T., Dubuque, IA

  • The "Temperament and Focus" (1-on-1 Coaching)

    "I was really worried about my Goldendoodle's focus during walks—she'd get so distracted by every squirrel. They showed me how to work with her sensitive nature instead of against it. The difference was almost immediate. Walking her is finally enjoyable again, and I feel way more confident as an owner." — Jake R., Dodgeville, WI

  • The "Behavioral Breakthrough" (Academy)

    "Our pup used to jump on every guest who walked through the door. Honestly, I didn't think a digital course would help much, but the Academy's focus on the 'doodle' was a game-changer. It wasn’t just about the 'Sit' command; it was about understanding why he was over-excited. Now, he actually waits on his bed when the doorbell rings. Such a relief!" — Megan H., Madison, WI
