Wondering when to start grooming your Doodle or Poodle?
Don’t wait until the fluff turns into a tangled mess. Grooming starts early—and consistency is key. In this post, we break down the best age to start grooming, how often your Doodle should see the groomer, why daily brushing and blow-drying is a must, and how to prevent painful mats. Whether you're going for the fluffy teddy bear look or a short, low-maintenance cut, this is your go-to guide for Doodle and Poodle grooming schedules and coat care.

Thinking about adding a puppy to your life after 60? You’re not too old—you’re just getting started. At Boise Doodle Co, we proudly place our Goldendoodles, Cavapoos, Schnoodles, and Poodles in amazing homes across Idaho, Utah, California, and Las Vegas—including with retirees. With time, stability, and lots of love to give, retired families often make the best puppy parents. Age is just a number, puppy love doesn’t come with an expiration date.

Summer heatwaves aren’t just uncomfortable, they’re dangerous. Above 90°F? Outside time should be shade-only sessions, brief potty breaks, and certainly no long walks. Missing a midday walk is better than a vet trip. Period.

Let’s champion being cool pet parents this summer—hydration, shade, timing, and vigilance are your golden rules.

It is our job to advocate and protect our Pups!

Why Do Puppies Pee on Rugs? | Potty Training Tips from Boise Doodle Co.

If your puppy keeps peeing on the rug, bath mat, or anything soft—you're not alone! At Boise Doodle Co., we specialize in raising well-adjusted, potty-trained puppies using proven methods like early texture training and positive reinforcement. Puppies often choose soft surfaces because they mimic grass under their paws. In this post, we explain why that happens and how to teach your puppy that not all soft textures are potty spots. Empower your puppy with the right tools, techniques, and confidence to succeed—inside and outside the house.

You know what blows my mind?
The fact that not all breeders actually raise their own puppies. 🤯

I mean, really.
Some breeders are basically just project managers.
They'll pair a mom and dad dog, then send the pregnant female off to a guardian home.
The puppies are born and raised somewhere else. Maybe the breeder swings by now and then for a quick visit or a few pictures. Maybe they just get updates over video chat.

That's it.

And honestly... I can't relate. At all.
