All Oodles are very intelligent and highly trainable. They will do super well with mental stimulation. We recommend puppy socialisation/puppy classes(these can be found at many vets). Training that teaches good behaviour and manners can begin immediately. Your dog is made to feel like an important and valuable part of a relationship by obeying commands, fulfilling their part of the deal and then earning a reward. In return for your efforts you will have a loyal, trustworthy and protective member of your family.
The critical socialisation period in puppies is from 8 to 16 weeks. The experiences they have during this time , whether good or bad, will have the greatest impact on them for life. Your puppy has been socialised here with our cats, dogs and cows and has had opportunities for supervised play with them. It is important that your puppy meets and learns to socialise with other dogs and is able to tolerate other dogs in all situations.
To ensure your puppy develops into a well adjusted dog he will also need lots of opportunities for play and exploration. Have on hand, a variety of interesting objects with which your puppy can learn, explore and amuse himself (balls, squeaky toys, soft plush toys, rubber chewing toys, lengths of rope etc). This will also help prevent boredom and minimise destructive play. Be very careful to purchase toys that he can chew but not bite and swallow as some toys can cause choking in young puppies.
I hope this information is helpful and assists you in raising a fun loving healthy happy puppy. The one most important piece of information I can supply you with is to enjoy your puppy and set some boundaries and rules early in your puppies life to ensure a happy and stress free transition into your household.
