Training - Experiences, Challenges, and Mindsets

This group provides a "safe place" for members to share their experiences with training, celebrate "big and little successes" and gain insights as we encounter challenges, to support one another, and to explore how our mindset affects our training.

QUESTIONS REGARDING PUPPY BEHAVIORAL CONCERNS (less than 4 mos of age) are better placed in the Main Forum or the Puppy Madness Groups.  Once our Doodles reach the age of four to five months, they are ready to begin their obedience training, and this is the place to share experiences.

Deeann, it's hard to guess what is going on but it could have been an incredibly stressful day for your pup.  She is pretty young and being away from home and thrown into an environment with strange dogs for 7 hours is a lot to deal with.  Unless you see other signs of physical illness, give her time to relax.  It could take a couple of days for her adrenaline level to normalize.

FWIW, I took one of my doodles to day care when he was young and he really did not like it.  He loved meeting other dogs but didn't like being away from home.  I watched him on the doggie cam and he just paced the whole time.  When I picked him up after his third visit, he vomited before getting into the car.  That was his last time.

I took my 4 month old Goldendoodle to an upscale training/dog resort in our town for a play day to see determine if it is a good fit for her.   She was there from 10:00 to 5:00, and I left her usual food and treats.  When I picked her up she seemed listless and "not herself".  I just thought she had played too hard and long, but when we got home, she began to retch and look really ill.  She didn't throw up, but continued to look and act exhausted.  At one point, she flew off the bed barking and growling like a maniac.  She has never shown this kind of behavior before.  Has anyone had a similar experience?  I left a message for the activity director to call me back, but have not heard from her yet.
