Starting on solid food is a messy business for labradoodle puppies.
These little petite Australian labradoodles are trying solid food for the first time. Their Mama Rowan, is wanting more time to herself so they need some extra meals to fill in the gaps.
These puppies have already learned that the crate is a good space to be. At Van Isle Doodles we are Labradoodle breeders who believe in working with a puppy’s basic nature to encourage the behaviour we want to see in our dogs. By showing them right from a young age that the crate is a safe and happy place, they are happier as adult dogs to spend time in a crate. This is a win win for everyone.

Watch and learn more about the individual characteristics of these Australian Labradoodle puppies at four weeks old.

We also discuss the qualities we seek in a potential therapy or emotional support Labradoodle and how our socialisation practices lay the foundation for well-rounded, adaptable puppies.

As the puppies start sleeping in their crate, we see positive signs of comfort and security, essential steps in their journey to becoming confident and well-behaved companions.

It’s almost time for solid food, so this is the last video where these puppies will be sparkling clean and tidy! Eating on your own is a messy job!

It’s the BIG day. Today, the Australian Labradoodle puppies from the Sky Gems litter at Van Isle Doodles tell their families who they’ve picked as their forever family.

These puppies are almost ready to go home. In the meantime, we have 2 weeks for all of them to enjoy our Head Start training program. These puppies will go home sleeping through the night in their crate, knowing to go to the bathroom outside and be familiar with walking on a leash as well as happy to ride in the car.

Eye contact is an indication your labradoodle puppy is aware of you, attentive and measuring your emotions. A common trait all therapy dogs share, is strong eye contact.
In this week’s video, watch as the Calligraphy puppies begin to initiate eye contact with Claire when she speaks. Now that the puppies can hear, they are able to find who is talking and establish a greater understanding of the person through eye contact.
The tone and cadence of your voice is an important tool when you communicate with your Labradoodle. While they may not understand all the words you are saying, your expression and tone of voice will tell them almost as much, and sometimes more, than your words.
Dreaming of having a puppy like this in your life? We currently have openings in our Special Effects litter going home on November 16, 2024.These puppies will be 18 – 24 pounds and carry the same strong therapy lines that these ones do. Here’s a link to more information about that litter: https://vanisledoodles.com/planned-litters/special-effects/

In this week 3 update for the puppies from our Shadow Pebbles litter, we explore how to build on the natural instincts of our labradoodles to gently guide them into adapting to life with people.

We discuss how desensitization is key in building a solid foundation for a calm, well-adjusted adult dog.

You’ll discover how understanding your dog’s natural behaviours can help you guide them to behave in a way that fits into our world. For example, knowing that dogs are drawn to a den-like environment, we introduce the crate (without the door) at the puppy’s own pace. They soon discover on their own it is a cosy, safe space to retreat for much-needed rest away from playful littermates. Rather than waiting for the puppies to be almost ready to go home and then forcing them into a crate and letting them “cry it out” as they are worn down into accepting being locked in a crate, this natural approach from an early age assists in your puppy associating their crate with something good. It’s a much easier and less stressful event when it comes time to close the door.

Plus, we share tips on proving yourself to your puppy and knowing when to withdraw your puppy from situations they aren’t quite ready for.

Follow along as we continue to nurture and shape these Labradoodle puppies into confident and well-adjusted dogs.
