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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I could not more highly recommend the adoption of a trained puppy from TrainMyDoodle! The adoption process was seamless from inquiry to the delivery of my beautiful puppy thanks to Karina’s love and dedication. My 4-month-old pup traveled from Miami to Colorado and arrived happy, healthy, and vibrant! We started practicing her learned voice & hand commands right away like sit, down, stay, break, crate … and of course no, haha! She remembers them all really well -- amazing! Plus the videos Karina provided makes it super easy and enjoyable to practice. Sometimes the saying goes, “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” But in this case “too good” is too true! I’m so elated with my smart, loving, wonderful girl! Thank you, Karina! xoxoxo

  • How lucky we feel to have found this trainer! Our goldendoodle is a dream of a puppy. He is quiet, calm, obedient and loving - all the most desirable traits of new family dog. We always felt informed during the training process, and received exactly what we expected plus more! Our puppy is a dream come true.

  • Karina is a special human raising special puppies. We are experienced dog owners who chose to work with her because of her knowledge and dedication to her work. We left prepared with an amazing puppy who was well on his way to being a respectful and obedient companion, it was a shortcut to fun a play without having to figure everything out alone. I wish we had met her before.
