🔎 Important Correction (1/31/23):

Ep 31: Sheepadoodle 101 — Traits, Temperament, Grooming & Training Tips12 Jan 202300:13:05

🐑🐩 Sheepadoodle, Sheepapoo, Sheepadoo, or Sheepoodle — no matter what you call them, these fluffy, lovable Doodles bring a unique blend of smarts, charm, and herding instinct. In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, we cover everything you need to know about raising a confident, well-adjusted Sheepadoodle.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ The history & purpose of the Old English Sheepdog — and how it shapes Sheepadoodle behavior
✔️ Coat care & grooming essentials to keep their fluff manageable
✔️ How herding instincts may show up in everyday life (like “rounding up” kids!)
✔️ Protective & guarding tendencies — what to expect and how to manage them
✔️ Desirable Poodle + Sheepdog traits that balance this mix
✔️ Health concerns & genetic testing to look for from breeders
✔️ Surprising facts about Mini Sheepadoodles

📖 From my book, Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint™:
“Every Doodle mix has its own ‘operating software.’ Sheepadoodles often combine the Old English Sheepdog’s guarding and herding programs with the Poodle’s brilliance and sensitivity. Without structure, that software can get buggy — leading to overprotectiveness, reactivity, or endless energy. But with the right daily rhythm, Sheepadoodles settle into loyal, goofy, family companions.”

Ep 29: Bernedoodle 101 — Temperament, Training, Grooming & Goldendoodle Comparison05 Jan 202300:12:53

The most requested Doodle breed breakdown is here — Bernedoodles! 🐾

Did you know 2023 marked the 20th anniversary of Bernedoodles’ intentional breeding? Since then, they’ve become one of the most popular and beloved Doodle mixes. But are Bernedoodles the right fit for your family?

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✔️ The history & origins of the Bernedoodle
✔️ Sizes, lifespans & coat types (and what to expect from each)
✔️ Personality, temperament & trainability — including stubborn streaks
✔️ Common health concerns & what to look for in a responsible breeder
✔️ How Bernedoodles compare to Goldendoodles
✔️ Why Bernedoodles may not be the best choice for every household

📖 From my book, Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint™:
“Bernedoodles come with their own ‘operating software.’ The Bernese Mountain Dog side often brings loyalty, guarding, and a slow-to-mature nature, while the Poodle adds brilliance and intensity. Without structure, that software can glitch — showing up as clinginess, stubbornness, or overprotectiveness. With a predictable daily rhythm, Bernedoodles thrive as calm, loyal companions.”

Ep 16: Cavapoo 101 — Traits, Temperament, Training Tips & Cavapoo Pros and Cons13 Oct 202200:14:27

Cavapoos, Cavoodles, Cavadoodles — no matter what you call them, this adorable mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle is one of the most popular (and cuddly!) Doodles.

Out of all the Doodle mixes, the Cavapoo holds my heart the most — because I have one! Meet Nestlé, my black Cavapoo, and learn how he got his name and why he’s such a special part of my family.

In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about Cavapoos — from size and temperament to training needs, grooming, and even why some people say “you shouldn’t get a Cavapoo.”

💡 This Episode Answers Cavapoo FAQs Like:
✔️ How big do Cavapoos get as adults?
✔️ Are Cavapoos good for first-time dog owners?
✔️ Are Cavapoos easy to train & how smart are they?
✔️ What makes a “Cuddle Cavapoo”?
✔️ How much exercise does a Cavapoo really need?
✔️ What does a black Cavapoo look like? (Hint: like Nestlé!)
✔️ Why do some people say you shouldn’t get a Cavapoo — and what to consider first?

📖 From my book, Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint™:
“Every Doodle mix comes with its own ‘operating software.’ Cavapoos often combine the Cavalier’s sensitive, people-pleasing code with the Poodle’s sharp intelligence. That means they can be deeply bonded cuddle-bugs — but also prone to separation anxiety and stress if not given structure. The right daily rhythm keeps them confident, calm, and connected.”

💡 What You'll Learn:
✔️ What is a dog’s teenage phase, and when does it happen?

✔️ Should I stop socializing my dog if they seem overstimulated?

✔️ Why your dog’s training (and relationship with you) doesn’t stop at puppy class!

🐕 Think of it like this:
"You wouldn’t pull your kid out of school after kindergarten and say, ‘You've got your letters. You’ve learned enough.’" – Corinne Gearhart

“Every Doodle mix has its own ‘operating software.’ Labradoodles often blend the Labrador’s bouncy, people-pleasing energy with the Poodle’s intelligence and sensitivity. That mix can be joyful — but without structure, the ‘software’ can lead to overexcitement, pulling, and chaos. The right daily rhythm helps Labradoodles channel their smarts and energy into calm connection.”

13: How to Find a Good Trainer, Program, or Puppy Class for Your Doodle04 Oct 202200:44:12

🐾 Not all dog trainers or puppy classes are created equal! How do you know if you're choosing the right one?

Whether you have a Doodle puppy, teenager, or adult, finding a quality, science-based training program is essential for long-term success. But with so many options, how do you know what to look for—and what to avoid?

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ What makes a good puppy class & when should training start?
✔️ Is puppy training worth it, and what should be covered?
✔️ How to train puppies at 8 weeks old—what’s realistic?
✔️ Is starting at 4 or 6 months too late?
✔️ How to evaluate a trainer or facility before signing up
✔️ Key red flags to watch out for in training programs
✔️ The dangers of outdated methods & how to spot humane, science-backed training

🐶 Puppy socialization is critical—but it needs to be done right.
"You have to balance the safety of your puppy with the development of their personality and their ability to take on what they’ll be exposed to throughout their life." – Kathy Thorpe

🐕 Dogs today are part of our daily lives more than ever before. Training should prepare them for that reality!
"Even 20, 30 years ago, they were really just in the backyard or in the neighborhood… but now your dog is almost a fixture everywhere you go. That’s why their socialization and training foundation is so important." – Colleen Tekamp

Is your Doodle’s food really meeting their needs? 🐾 In this fact-packed episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Em from Vet Med Corner to cut through the myths and marketing hype around dog food and nutrition.

You’ll learn what veterinarians really want you to know about prescription diets, puppy vs adult food, and how to spot red flags when choosing your Doodle’s meals.
