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.

I STARTED A NEW CGC COLLAGE, BECAUSE WHEN I ADDED JACK DOODLE AND JAKE THE PICTURES BECAME TOO SMALL TO REALLY SEE....SO NOW WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MORE CGC GRADS!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THESE TRAINING GROUP CGC WINNERS! Please remember to post a picture of your Doodle whenever they complete any training designation so that we can continue to add to our collage. If I missed anyone here, also please let me know.

Comment by Joanne ~ Spud* on July 10, 2012 at 6:36am: This will be a good discussion, Jane. Important. On my phone or I'd post myself. I need to be trained not to type from this phone. Correct me to read inly

Comment by Jane, Guinness and Murphy on July 10, 2012 at 6:05am: DeeDee, I have to actually run to training myself this morning with Murph, but this afternoon I'll paste your comments into a discussion so we can get you some feedback. It kind of gets lost here.
