We have an
adorable male labradoodle at 85 lbs ( he is a year old and we were told he would
be 55-60 lbs.). He is loving and adorable, with those labradoodle lashes and
wild hair...looks more like a lab than a poodle and he does shed...Yes, he
has a strong bark and barks often, especially when he sees big dogs
and strange people, he digs outside as well as on the carpeting...tears up his
toys but is good about furniture ands shoes after professional training...gets
very excited when guests arrives and tends to jump on them wanting to play
(despite professional training!..we generally let groomers take care of bathing
but have done it a few times and he's been relatively ok...and he's stressed out
but will stay still when cleaning his ears. He also has
"excitement and submissive" urination issues. Other than that, he's the perfect
dog!! Good Luck!

Subject: [labradoodles] Doodle Behavior
Well, we have a great labradoodle. Jack is 14 months old and we
love him dearly. He has some behaviors which are becomming a
problem. We are pretty consistent in our training and live in a
very remote area so do not have access to professional behaviors.
Jack spends a lot of time indoors with us but goes daily for a free
run for about an hour. He's very big; probably 75 pounds and very
strong. Supposedly he wants nothing more than to please us but it
doesn't seem that way.
Can anyone help out with these:
barking
digging
tearing up stuff when left alone, encluding his bedding
way too excited when guests come or when around another dog. Just
wants to inundate the other dog with play and can't seem to hear our
commands.
He won't let us groom him. Bathing is a nightmare, but cleaning his
funky ears is imppossible.
Maybe this is all normal doodle behavior but when I read about
people putting drops in dog's ears I think we might have an
especially active dog. He seems to be nearly frantic a lot.
