Are You Saying the Wrong Thing To Reassure Your Nervous Doodle?

It's a reflex when we see someone we love nervous or distressed! “It's Okay!” we exclaim!

Unfortunately, we're giving them a completely DIFFERENT message!

We don't say “It's Okay” or “Don't Worry” when a dog feels happy or relaxed. We use our human language of “It's Okay” to reassure the dog we love. Unfortunately, they don't understand our words, just the associations they make with them. Use the things they already have positive associations with. Smelly soft treats, a firm rub, and a slow deep “Gooooood dog” go a lot further.

oh hey there!

I’m Corinne, The Doodle Pro™

DOODLES ARE DIFFERENT, THEY DESERVE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY NEED.

I get it.  You’ve tried training your doodle with what worked well with other dogs or for other trainers. 

(Maybe you’ve noticed that didn’t get your doodle as calm or happy as you hoped.)

That’s why The Doodle Pro™ does things differently.

All of my training methods are positive, research-based, and doodle specific. When should a doodle get their first grooming? How do you stop a doodle from barking? How can I stop my doodle from jumping on guests? When should I get a second dog? How do I help my doodle with separation anxiety?
