Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum

Hi peeps - I'm new.
I have had my Goldendoodle Riley Jack for 6 days. He is a few days shy of 10 weeks old. He is a very independent puppy. Somewhat aloof. I have never in my life came across a puppy that can just straight up ignore me even when I call with a treat. Very rarely does he come to me. Sometimes he'll just look at me, sometimes he will shift and turn his back to me, or just walk away. He's not like that all the time - sometimes he can be spunky and play fetch with me.
Do you think I scare him because I'm crate training him and put him on the leash (which he absolutely freaks out on). And I tell him no when he has an accident in the house and when he chews stuff and bites to hard?
Does anybody have any experience with this kind of pup?
Is he just adjusting to his new life? How could I bond with him more?
He doesn't seem to be having any issues...he walks and explores the backyard...he wants to be outside all the time...or lays and chews the grass. He's just chill all the time.
Any tips that you could give me would be greatly appreciated! I just want to do the best buy him. But I have to admit it would be nice if he would get excited to see me.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid. He's just completely different than I thought he would be.

Thanks so much

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement and information! I want him to be the best dog he can be (without me messing him up). But he is great. I hope I do him justice!
I was just saying last night how Fenway is kinda like this, a little bit of a loner....but he is very sweet and cuddles when he wants to. He is also WAY calmer than Shiloh....Shiloh has to have constant approval and attention and is a total spaz. I kinda like looking over at Fenway, the calm one, and think how great those traits are when Shiloh is driving me insane.
