Puppy Kindergarten: The First 8 Weeks

Every Bernedoodle puppy at Alpine Bernedoodles starts life with the best possible foundation:

  • Daily Handling: From birth, our puppies are lovingly handled every day.

  • Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS): We use ENS techniques to promote early development.

  • Puppy Culture Methods: Each stage of development includes exposure to various stimuli, ensuring our puppies grow into confident, happy companions.

Our puppies are quick to learn obedience commands and thrive on interacting with other dogs and people, giving them a fantastic start before they join your family.

Beyond 8 Weeks: Training from Kindergarten to Turnkey

While Bernedoodles are highly intelligent thanks to their Poodle lineage, they can also inherit the stubborn streak of the Bernese Mountain Dog. This combination makes them wonderfully clever but may pose challenges for first-time dog owners.

To help you raise a well-behaved puppy:

  • Puppy Socialization Classes: We recommend these for families new to puppy training.

  • Professional Trainers: For those wanting more support, we suggest trainers who specialize in all levels of obedience and behavior training.

Tailored Training Options

For those seeking advanced training before bringing their puppy home, we can recommend trusted trainers offering:

  • Basic Commands & Crate Training

  • Obedience Foundations

  • Advanced Turnkey Training: Full training tailored to your puppy’s needs, ensuring they are ready to be excellent Canine Citizens.

We work with several local trainers who provide flexible options to suit your needs and budget. Contact us to learn more about these services and how they can help your puppy get started on the right paw!
