Standard rule is that a dog of any age will want to eliminate between 20 and 60mins after eating or drinking.  The goal of housebreaking is to encourage your dog to prefer  a place to eliminate in the same place and wait until they are in that place.

I have heard people say they start out putting there mini goldendoodle in the flower bed. This is to keep the lawn clean.  I started it with Freckles the mini doodle and she does prefer the flower bed.  

Steps to success for mini doodle potty training

Step 2: give your mini goldendoodle puppy from doodles 4 love family farm plenty of time eliminate. Remember its 20-60min after they eat.

Step 3: Reward your goldendoodle puppy every time they eliminate.  I take it one step further and I tell freckles the mini goldendoodle puppy to “go potty” and then wtohen she does I praise her or I give her a treat. 

What are the Signs your Mini goldendoodle needs to Potty

Just observe, watch your goldendoodle puppy and learn his signals. For example, many dogs will sniff the floor or walk in circles when they need to go out. My mini goldendoodle puppy freckles runs into the other room.  Im right behind her to open the door so she can go out.  She is getting better at going to the door to tell me she needs to go out.  I am going to teach her to ring a bell when she needs to go out.
