Welcoming Your New Aussiedoodle Puppy:

​

Congratulations on Your New Aussiedoodle Puppy!

Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting journey, and being prepared is the first step to a happy, healthy life together. Here's a guide to help you get ready for the arrival of your adorable Aussiedoodle.

​

1. Educate Yourself on Puppy Behavior and Training:
Understanding puppy behavior and basic training principles is crucial. We recommend reading up on puppy training techniques, especially positive reinforcement methods (suggested books in list below). Books, online resources, or puppy training classes can provide valuable insights into raising a well-behaved and happy dog.

 

2. Essential Supplies to Get Started:
Prepare your home with the essential supplies your Aussiedoodle will need. Here's a checklist to get you started:

• A comfortable bed: Choose a cozy bed where your puppy can feel safe and secure.

• Food and water bowls: Invest in sturdy, easy-to-clean bowls for your puppy's hydration and nutrition needs.

• High-quality puppy food: Research or consult with your vet to choose the best food that meets the nutritional needs of a growing Aussiedoodle. Your puppy will get a bag of food that we are feeding so you can transition to your new puppy food.  

• Collar, leash, and ID tag: Ensure safety with a well-fitted collar, a durable leash, and an ID tag with your contact information.

• Crate and/or playpen: A crate or playpen can provide a safe space for your puppy and aid in house training.

• Grooming supplies: Get a brush, puppy shampoo, nail clippers, and ear cleaning solutions to maintain your Aussiedoodle's coat and overall health. (see page on recommended products and grooming tips)

• Toys: Chew toys, interactive toys, and puzzles will keep your puppy entertained and help with teething.  Having sufficient toys and items that are the puppies, can help you to train your puppy to not chew on your items. 

 

3. Keeping Your Aussiedoodle's Mind Engaged:
Aussiedoodles are intelligent and active dogs that thrive on mental stimulation. Here are some ways to keep their minds busy:

• Interactive Toys and Puzzles: Toys that challenge your puppy's brain can provide hours of fun and prevent boredom.

• Training Sessions: Short, daily training sessions can be a great way to bond with your puppy while teaching them new skills.

• Playtime: Regular playtime, whether it's a game of fetch or tug-of-war, can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation.

• Socialization: Introduce your puppy (in a safe way, see health page) to various people, pets, and environments to help them develop into well-rounded, sociable dogs.

 

Remember, the key to a successful relationship with your Aussiedoodle is patience, consistency, and lots of love. By preparing your home and yourself for the new arrival, you're setting the stage for a wonderful companionship filled with joy and shared experiences. Welcome to the delightful journey of being an Aussiedoodle parent!
