Raising Puppies: A Family's Heartwarming Journey

And, yes! Most of the time, we all have our hands full (of puppies).

My kids, Lucas and Stella, are trainers in training. They always cuddle and teach the puppies how to interact appropriately. For me, it is intense work, sleepless nights, lots of cleaning, scratches, bites, and a labor of love. Every time a puppy goes to its new home, there is excitement but lots of tears and goodbyes.

Our family teaches the puppies how to develop into loving family companions, while the puppies teach us how to love more and serve the community.

Meet Our Fur Family

It all started with our two dogs, Holly-Hugs, the English Golden Retriever, and Tiny Tina, the teacup Yorkie. Unfortunately, Holly passed away in 2022 at 14 years of age. We then added Neve, an F1B Goldendoodle, who quickly became Tina’s best buddy. They continue helping us teach the pups dog language, a critical socialization step of a pup’s development.

” If you want a puppy to share your home, look for a puppy that has been raised and trained in a home.”

Family Oriented Program

Every puppy that enters our program becomes part of our family pack.
The puppies are boarded and trained in the family environment to get them
ready to join their next family.

Exclusive

Because we work in our home and want to ensure each puppy receives the attention it needs to develop into an excellent companion, we only train a few puppies at a time.

Passion

We love working with dogs and helping other people as a result. It is so gratifying to see other families’ happiness and know that our friendship circle expands every day.

Affordability

Our program is affordable compared to many breeder training programs because we choose to help families and keep prices affordable.

Our Reviews

  • Karina was wonderful to work with! I messaged her because I was in desperate need of training my 6 month old doodle and 2 year old doodle. She immediately called me before I even booked her and gave me very helpful tips. After the first interaction with her on the phone I felt like I needed to go with her. She answered all our many questions before , during and after the entire process. She sent us daily reports of how the doggies were doing and their training sessions. She’s very positive , professional and most of all has so much patience. We got back our doggies today and the improvement they have showed in these past two weeks is huge compared to how they were. It was becoming unbearable to live with one of the doggies. Highly recommend her to anyone that needs training and I am already referring her to people I know. Very thankful and grateful that I found her .

  • Words cannot express enough gratitude to Karina from Train My Doodle for raising and training my beautiful Betty to the lovable pup she is! Karina took the time to explain how she works, she gave me updates about Betty’s progress and she gave me extensive documentation on Betty’s training which got me instant HOA approval. When she dropped Betty off she took me through how to continue Betty’s training routine and she even gave me food for Betty’s first few weeks so she starts off right. The professionalism and communication through the whole process made it a no brainer to get a puppy from Train my doodle and I have no hesitation recommending this service to anyone looking for a well behaved, lovable pup.

  • Karina is an absolute dream to work with! When I found her site I thought it seemed to be too good to be true... But she has proved me pleasantly wrong! She listens to the needs your family needs in a puppy and she delivers! Our little boy has been home with us for a week now and he has lived up to the hype 100%, he transitioned well, he is well behaved with a calm demeanor. We are so thankful for our little guy and that we found Karina!

  • We haven't had a dog for a long time (over 20 years) and felt like it was time. We searched for the right type of dogs and how to bring a dog into our household. Decided on a doodle. We spoke to several breeder/trainers and luckily found Train My Doodle. Karina was friendly, knowledgeable and patient with us while we were getting ourselves educated on who, when, how we were going to bring a dog home. We choose her and it was a great decision. She was very connected and responsive with us the whole way and during our dogs training with videos, pictures, and information. We recently received our pup and we're super thrilled to be dog parents again with a sweet puppy that's been given a great training foundation. Many thanks to Karina. She's a wonderful person and great trainer. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great puppy.

  • My wife and I recently lost our 10yr old Komondor. She wasn’t ready for another dog but I knew it was the right thing to do. I wanted a golden doodle and researching on where to get one I came across Train my doodle. Reached out to Karina and she immediately answered my request. She didn’t have a puppy available but she found one from a breeder she worked with previously. I decided to use her services to pickup and puppy training for 6 weeks. Let me say it was the best decision I made. She arranged the pickup with breeder and bought our boy Tux to her. The next 6 weeks she did an amazing job training Tux on all the fundamentals. She kept us up to date with his training and areas for us to focus on when he comes to us. The potty training, the socialization, basic obedience. She went through alot. When the time came to transport Tux, the transporter she suggested was amazing as well. Took care of Tux from Miami to NJ and arrived 30min earlier than anticipated. To show you how amazing using Karina’s services was, Tux acclimated so well and no potty accidents in his first days with us(and still none). She sent a full report on how to continue training and areas he needs more attention, full vet records as she took Tux to his vet visits and a wonderful thank you card. The service Karina provides is one I’d recommend to anyone looking to get a doodle and having them go through early training, it’s truly worth every penny. I even tried convincing my wife to get a 2nd dog from Karina but she was having none of it :). Thanks again to Karina and Train My Doodle to bringing Tux into our lives.

  • Karina is the best. So trustworthy! I got two of my pups from her. I have 2 of the best golden doodles around. I would love to be a reference if you have any questions Karina can give you my number. If you’re on the fence , jump off of it. Best decision ever!

  • I couldn't be happier with the training sessions provided by Karina.. Her expertise and patience made learning commands like sit, up, down, and watch me, a breeze for my doodle. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for effective and enjoyable dog training!

  • The decision I made after months of research was to go with Train My Doodle. Not only did I purchase one of her beautiful puppies that we named Simba. We got the extended package so he’s currently being trained by her now we will be receiving our bundle of joy Christmas morning, she has made this process extremely easy and kept me in the loop about every milestone. Simba has gone through being that the kids are not aware of this surprise it has been tricky navigating it, but Karina has made it extremely simple for us to do such a big surprise, not only are her prices extremely feasible compared to what is out there. Her puppies are well taken care of full of love and extremely well treated. The best decision I made was to do my research and come across her. She is a joy to work with and truly cares about the well-being of her puppies. I have never come across a breeder who cares so much about each puppy again the process has been seamless and I can’t wait to pick him up. I will be updating my review for the grand reveal on Christmas morning again if you’re thinking about purchasing a puppy, I wouldn’t hesitate to go with Karina( Train My Doodle). We were extremely hesitant due to everything that we came across was either breeders, just breeding puppies, and outrageous prices simply just to have a trained puppy. We will be working with Karina in the future as well to continue the training for Simba and even then her prices are extremely reasonable. We couldn’t be more happy with our choice and the new addition to our family. This has all been made possible due to the way she runs her business and the prices. Karina for making this such a beautiful adventure.
