Groodle / Labradoodle: use playful engagement, then reinforce calm transitions and four paws on the floor.

Breed profile

Training group: Gundogs and retrievers
Origin: A retriever–Poodle cross that is extremely common in Australia.
Size span: Miniature to standard
Common weight range: 10–35 kg
Coat: Curly or wavy coat
Coat care: The substantial coat can mat and needs regular clipping, so cooperative grooming practice is a core training task rather than an optional extra.
Drive keywords: Retrieving and carrying · Problem-solving · Cooperation with people
Handling practice: Voluntary brushing and combing, followed by gradual exposure to dryer and clipper sounds and calm standing on the grooming surface. · Cooperative body and paw handling that lets equipment fit and grooming steps be adjusted to the individual puppy as it grows.

General reference range only; individual dogs vary considerably.
