Our Program

At Cuddly Doods, our passion is to provide your family with a healthy, well-behaved, and well-socialized Aussiedoodle puppy that is perfectly suited to your lifestyle. Raised with love in our home, never in a kennel, our puppies are intentionally nurtured to become friendly, calm, intelligent, affectionate, and beautiful companions that make wonderful additions to any family.

We take great pride in raising happy, well-adjusted puppies with stable temperaments you can trust. Your puppy's lifelong health and well-being are our highest priorities, and we are committed to giving every puppy the very best start in life. When you welcome a Cuddly Doods puppy into your family, you become part of ours, and one of our greatest joys is receiving updates and watching our puppies grow into cherished members of their new families.

Our Nurturing Program

We invest countless hours with every puppy to help them become confident, adaptable, and prepared for life with their new family. From 3 to 16 days of age, we begin the Puppy Culture program and Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) whenever appropriate. These early experiences are designed to promote confidence, resilience, and healthy development.

To give our puppies the very best nutritional start, we supplement with a homemade formula made from raw goat's milk, goat yogurt, and duck eggs. We believe this natural approach supports healthy growth, digestion, and overall development.

Preparing Your Puppy for Success

🚗 Vehicle Acclimation

We gently introduce puppies to car rides using positive reinforcement and high-value treats to help them develop confidence and positive associations with travel. They begin riding on our laps before progressing to secure travel in the back seat and eventually in a properly secured car seat or crate for their comfort and safety.

🐾 Socialization with Dogs

Each puppy regularly interacts with our adult dogs as well as dogs belonging to trusted family members and friends. These experiences help develop positive canine social skills while reducing the likelihood of fear-based behaviors.

👧 Interaction with Children

Frequent playtime with children helps our puppies develop gentle, patient, and confident temperaments around little ones.

🦮 Early Leash Introduction

Once developmentally ready, puppies are introduced to walking on a leash using positive reinforcement, helping them build positive associations with this important life skill.

🏡 Beginning Manners & Potty Training

Before going home, we begin laying the foundation for good household manners and potty training to help make the transition into your home as smooth as possible.

📦 Crate Acclimation

Beginning around 5½ to 6 weeks of age, we introduce crate training so puppies learn to view their crate as a safe, comfortable place. Early crate acclimation also makes future travel, grooming appointments, veterinary visits, and settling into a new home much easier.

Building a Strong Foundation for Life

The first eight weeks of a puppy's life are incredibly important. Everything we do during this critical period is designed to raise healthy, confident, and well-socialized companions while making the transition into their forever homes easier and more enjoyable. Our goal is to send home a puppy that is not only healthy and beautiful, but also well-prepared to become a beloved member of your family for years to come.
