"Our doodle woke up really early for the first year or so and then eventually he started to sleep in later. Now some days we have to bribe him to get him up before work. He got reeeeally lazy. But if you want, you can try to break that 5:30am habit…"

I can already tell this is going to be a long post, so I apologize in advance! I just brought home my 8 week old goldendoodle, and we are having a VERY difficult time crate training. I did all the…Continue

"I haven't gotten to sleep in for the last year and a half. If you figure out how to fix it I want to know too! I think maybe they'll grow up and sleep better eventually. I hope so at least."
"Try a pre bedtime snack of 1/4 cup of kibble reserved from his evening meal. Riley was waking early around 5 and that fixed it."
Sleep Schedule
Every morning, Lincoln (6 months) wakes up and barks like a maniac at 5:30 am like clockwork. I am pretty sure it is because he is ready for breakfast. I usually just let him bark and wait until 6 (breakfast time). I let him out to pee, and then he gets breakfast, Then out again to potty, and then back in the crate so I can go back to sleep. Then, he is quiet and sleeps. I know that it isn't to go to the bathroom initially because sometimes when I get home late, and he wakes up, I'll let him…See More
"I am laughing SO hard at this because I can SO relate! My Lincoln does not love his crate at all. When I first got him, he screamed all night long (literally) for about 10 days. I cried because I thought it would never get better. Now thankfully he…"
"She looks a lot like my boy Lincoln! He also turned 3 months old today! His coat looks pretty similar to Lucy’s. I think they will both have that nice wavy, traditional doodle coat. Not too curly, not too straight. A great group to join is…"
"I'm glad yours outgrew it! I'm hoping mine does the same! I'm crossing my fingers that as he gets older and the more he gets used to it, the better he will get until it's totally gone. I'm definitely feeling more hopeful now…"
"I've only had him in the back as that's where I'd like him eventually, but maybe i'll try him in the front to see if it helps and gradually move him back. Something to think about! I'm hoping he will outgrow it- feeling…"
"Yes I have weathertech mats in the front and back seats. I also have the seat covers in the back which were initally for avoiding scratching my leather seats but have worked wonders for easy clean up! What a life saver! I'm glad yours outgrew…"
"Maggie used to get carsick too as a pup. She eventually outgrew it...I think around 9 mos, but it was definitely before 1 year. She's a year and a half now and she goes EVERYWHERE with me....LOVES the car. Fingers crossed your…"
"My Maisie was like this in the beginning, she's now 8 months and does pretty good now. One thing that has helped both her and my older girl I find where they are in the vehicle makes a big difference. I have a Chevy crew cab truck and i've…"
"Lachlan was like this when I brought him home at 9 weeks but eventually grew out of it. As soon as he was able (had all of his vaccinations), I planted his wee butt on the (well-covered) front seat of my car ... something I hate to do, but it really…"
"I feel ya! Mine is 12 weeks and he does the same. It’s a constant game of “what’s in your mouth?” Can’t wait for him to outgrow the habit so that I can play with him outside without worrying about him swallowing…"
Motion sickness
So my puppy definitely gets motion sickness and vomits when in the car. On the way home from the breeder the day that I got him, the breeder mentioned he might throw up in the car. He did, 3 times. It was 2 and a half hour ride, and he was so little I figured no big deal. A few days later I took him to the vet to get established, and he was fine on the way there but puked on the way back. Started to get concerned. Put it on my list to bring up to the vet next time. Next car ride 3 weeks later,…See More
