Training & Breeding Programs
The Doodle Academy
A complete digital curriculum designed to raise a calm, capable Goldendoodle from anywhere in the world. Specialized training for the Poodle-mix brain.
Private Coaching
Hands-on, 1-on-1 behavioral training for locals in Southwest Wisconsin. We solve the specific behavioral issues that generic trainers misunderstand.
Ethically raised, health-tested, and neurologically simulated puppies. We don't just breed dogs; we raise companions with stable temperaments.
The Breeding Program
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.
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
