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.

  • 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!

  • I have 2 doggies! Autumn & Summer and I only trust Cary to look after my girls, they are treated like princesses and they have so much fun! Cary always throws in some training and the girls come back with a new trick. The best dog boarding I’ve ever tried and the only one I’ve gone to this last year. They have stayed with Cary about 7 times this year she also sends pics and updates daily

  • 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 .

  • We had such a great experience getting a puppy from Karina. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, from beginning to end. We got a mini poodle that was 6 months old already potty trained and he knew some commands. She also gave us a collar and a leash because we picked up the puppy without having time to get one, gave us food in the cutest container for a few days as well which was extremely helpful. All the documents for the puppy were up to date. She was extremely informative. Karina took her time to teach us how to continue with the training. Our puppy has been a blessing and such a relief to have a puppy that is already potty trained. If you’re thinking to get a puppy from Train my doodle do not think twice!!

  • Finding the right puppy for our family was a decision we didn’t take lightly. After a thorough search, we were fortunate to stumble upon Karina owner of Train My Doodle where we found Halo—a puppy who has proven to be the perfect addition to our home. She is obedient, well-tempered, and has seamlessly become a cherished member of our family. Our journey to finding Halo wouldn’t have been possible without Karina. Her expertise, dedication, and genuine care throughout the process made all the difference. Karina took the time to understand our family’s needs and helped us find a puppy whose temperament and personality were the perfect match. I wholeheartedly recommend Karina to anyone searching for a new furry companion. Her guidance, trustworthiness, and commitment to pairing families with the right pet are truly exceptional. Again thanks to her, we found Halo, and our family couldn’t be happier.

  • Karina & team were amazing to our little Mia. Worked with her patiently to learn commands, potty training and other valuable life lessons for us as dog owners to give Mia the best life at home. Karina helped arrange ground transportation too. Thank you Karina!!!! Mia is so amazing and follows our commands you taught us. She is almost fully grown now and our forever 4 legged fury baby girl!!

  • 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.

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Karina over the past several months as she trained our Cavapoo, Red, since he was just 4-5 months old. She’s an amazing dog trainer. She taught Red all the basic commands, also leash walking and crate training, and she was super patient with him (and me) the whole time. On top of all that, Karina was always there to answer the million questions I had as a new dog mom. Whether it was about training tips, leashes, crates, snacks, pee pads, etc, she was always helpful and supportive. Karina is also incredibly reliable and responsible, which means the world to me. Her strong work ethic really stands out (thank you Karina! We really appreciate you and Red loves you.)
