Tell me more!!

Crossfield Doodles has been offering a foundational training program for years!

Here is a sample of the unsolicited feedback from clients bringing home their trained puppy:

"Worth Every Cent..."

This has been worth every cent I spent on her and training! Day two and despite my need for control and need to figure out a good schedule… SHE IS Amazing!!!!!!!!!! She is so sweet and calm and so well behaved and follows commands well. She is loving be loved on by us and all of the neighborhood. She sat calmly by watching the crazy boys run with nerf guns and bikes and cars and usual mayhem. She enjoys some ruff housing and crazy play. I don’t think I could of asked for better than this!

"Shout out to our amazing trainer.."

I want to give a shout out to our amazing trainer.  Yesterday we brought home Kali (Erica #luluandmilo). She is our second Crossfield Doodle but the first one we had trained. This time was A LOT easier!! Kali is a doll who has adjusted so well and already obeys commands. I learned so much that will help me with our other pup. So glad we went the formal training route this time!

"We are madly in love..."

We are madly in love with her already and we can’t believe how well behaved she is!!! We highly recommend the training program and a Crossfield Doodles puppy!

"Sweetest, well-mannered dog"

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. My dog is the best dog I have ever owned and I have owned some truly amazing dogs. He is the sweetest well mannered dog in the world. We love him so much! Thank you!

"We couldn't be happier..."

Just a little note to let you know all is going so wonderful with our baby Daytona Mae! We couldn’t be happier! She has molded into our family as if she was always here with us! She is AMAZING, the only word to describe her! In the couple of days that we have had her she has filled our lives with so much joy and laughter. She is just that cute and funny ! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us such a great puppy and we are thankful for our trainer who did so much magic with Daytona Mae and worked with her to perfect her! We are truly grateful for everything and will surely recommend you and Crossfield to our friends and family!

Crossfield Doodles PREMIUM

Crossfield Premium is available for 4 weeks – 16 weeks.  The duration you choose should reflect your particular goals.  The longer your pup trains, the longer the pup will have to master skills. We expect Premium pups to demonstrate a continued growth in their ability to hold commands by adding time, distance and even distraction.  In our PREMIUM training program, your doodle will progress through multiple stages of training difficulty and standards, depending on the length of program you choose.

Crossfield Premium allows time to instill good behavior in your doodle. Our trainer assists your classy companion in those early development stages, evaluates your pups motivations and desire to please, and identifies the best way to lead your pup through those developmental leaps.  Better yet, at the end of training, your trainer will meet with you and teach you how to become your pup’s new trainer!

Will I get updates on my puppy’s training?

Once your pup’s littermates go home, your puppy will transfer to his trainer! You will receive an email a few days after your pup transfers to the trainer so the two of you may connect. You may want to share your pup’s new name, or get updates on the training. We encourage all of this! We actually maintain a Training Liaison so that this process is seamless! Each Pup-in-Training will have their very own Google album which will be updated each week by the trainer with photos and video so you can see your pup in action.

How do I get started?

If you have not yet filled out our online application to adopt a puppy, please do so in order to begin the process. On the application, you may indicate that you are interested in adopting a trained puppy.

Add-On Options for Training

We are happy to provide information on any of our training options with you once you have filled out your online application and we have scheduled you for a phone conversation.

Training + Boarding

Trained puppies that need to stay after their home-going day may board for a maximum of 2 days at a cost of $100 a day for continued training and boarding.  Availability for this extended stay is limited and not a guaranteed option.  Contact us if you need to make this arrangement.

Training + Delivery and Training Session

We are pleased to offer the option of Delivery for Trained Puppies!  Your trainer will deliver your puppy to your home and provide a one-hour, in-home Training Session with you and your family.  This session will cover the basics of commands your puppy has mastered, daily schedule, and important tips to help keep your puppy moving forward in the training they have received during their 3-week, Stay-and-train time with us.  The starting price of $550 includes puppy delivery to a service area within a 30 mile radius of our location.
