The Doodle Pro®: Positive Dog Training for Calm Doodles

The Doodle Pro® Summit opens Monday: 15 leading experts, 16 Doodle-specific sessions, 3 days, and your seat is complimentary. But 16 sessions is a lot, and nobody stands at a buffet and eats everything. That's not a buffet problem, that's a plate problem.

So I built you a trail map. Take the 60-second quiz at https://thedoodlepro.com/summitquiz and I'll tell you exactly which session to watch first, what to climb next, and one sceni...

"Wait, is this a joke?" That's a real message I got about the Doodle Pro® Summit. So today I'm answering it the best way I know how: by letting you hear the experts yourself.

I pulled four clips straight from the Summit interviews. Kristi Benson reframes demand barking in a way that made me laugh out loud. Dr. Adam Christman nearly has a panic attack as I quiz him on every chew in the pet store aisle. Dr. Sylvalyn Hammond, The Hones...

The doors to the Doodle Pro® Summit: Doodle Parent Edition are open, and this episode is your personal invitation. 🎉 Built entirely for Doodle parents, this three-day online event gathers fifteen world-class dog and veterinary experts July 27 to 29 to welcome your Doodle instead of correcting the both of you. Because Doodles are different, wonderfully so, and so are their parents.

Corinne Gearhart is the founder of The Doodle Pro®,...

Ever had someone call your Doodle a "mutt" or insist they're "not a real breed"? I just got back from Alaska, where I went dog sledding on a glacier and completely geeked out on the musher. 🐾

Here's what stopped me in my tracks: the Alaskan Husky, one of the most respected working dogs in the world, isn't a registered breed either. It's a type, intentionally bred for purpose over generations. Sound familiar? It's the exact same sto...

Can a Doodle truly be bred ethically, or have you started to wonder what really separates a responsible breeder from a polished broker website and the right buzzwords?

And have you ever felt you had to defend your choice to bring home a Doodle, like you owed someone an explanation for the dog you love?

You deserve honest, science-based answers, and you never needed anyone's permission to love your Doodle.

In Part 2 of this conversatio...

You have twelve breeder tabs open and every one looks perfect. So how do you tell a truly ethical Goldendoodle breeder from a polished website or a puppy broker?

In Part 1 of this conversation, three members of the Goldendoodle Association of North America (GANA) board explain what real health testing looks like, why "vet checked" is not the same as health tested, and the simple questions that reveal whether a breeder is doi...

Thinking about a Goldendoodle, or living with one who's more furry tornado than teddy bear? This 2026 Goldendoodle 101 gives you the complete picture: the breed's surprising service-dog origins, the field vs show Golden distinction that explains so much about red Doodles, why "vet checked" is not health tested, the COI number that stunned a New Yorker writer, and exactly how to find an ethical breeder. Plus the story of Amy Lane of...

Have you questioned whether Doodle breeding really produces healthier dogs than purebred dogs? Or felt like you had to defend that choice without the science to back it up?

You deserve honest, science-based answers that don't talk down to you or make assumptions about why you chose to become a Doodle parent.

In this episode, I'm joined by John Seabrook, a staff writer at The New Yorker, who wrote a deeply reported piece on responsibl...

Bunny the Sheepadoodle has taught millions of us to listen to our dogs differently, and this week her mom Alexis Devine is back for Part 2 of our conversation. 🐾

If Part 1 reframed how you see your Doodle, Part 2 hands you the practicalplaybook. Alexis explains why buttons without body language are basicallymeaningless, why any dog (yes, any dog) can learn this, how to handle the "my dog won't stop pressing the treat button...

If you've watched a fluffy Sheepadoodle press buttons to "talk" to her mom, you already know Bunny. This week, Bunny's mom Alexis Devine joins me for Part 1 of a conversation I have wanted to have for years. 🐾

Have you ever sat in the vet's exam room wondering if you're asking too many questions, or worried that the food on the shelf is being recommended for the wrong reasons?

In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Dr. Adam Christman, Chief Veterinary Officer for DVM 360, joins me to p...

A bonus episode for the Doodle parent who's still on the fence.

If you showed up for the 5-Day Doodle Parent Challenge last week and felt the shift but haven't said yes to Zoomies to Zen yet, this one is for you.

Inside this episode:

🐾 The Day 3 moment that made eight people drop hearts in the chat in ten seconds

🐾 The only objection still standing at this point in cart week

🐾 Three real Doodles (Kenzie, Charlie, and Stockli) whose p...

You are not the only one. And nothing is wrong with your Doodle. 

🐾 This week we're in the middle of the complimentary 5-Day Doodle Parent Challenge, and Corinne is pulling back the curtain. She's sharing what's already clicking for hundreds of Doodle parents, the one belief quietly breaking the most Doodle parents she works with, and what to do if you want to catch the replays before they close. 

In this short mid-week ep...

You have been trying to figure this out. The YouTube videos. The puppy class. Standing in the park calling their name while they ran toward another dog. Calling them in from the backyard while they barked at the fence. Apologizing to guests at the door. Googling at eleven o'clock at night.

You have been doing this mostly alone. Without a system that was built for your specific dog. Without a community of people who understand what y...

You registered for the challenge. Or you have been thinking about it. And somewhere in the back of your mind is a voice that says: five days. Is five days actually going to change anything?

That question deserves an honest answer. Not hype. Not promises of a perfect dog. The truth about what five days actually does — for the Doodle who has been running the household for years, the teenager who got harder at fourteen months, th...

You called him in from the backyard 100 times while he barked at the fence. He heard every single one. He glanced over. And went right back to barking.

You have watched the YouTube videos. You did the puppy class — maybe your Doodle was even a star student inside the building. You tried the online training membership. Maybe you hired the expensive professional trainer. And none of it transferred to real life.

In...

Is life with your Doodle more chaotic than calm? There is a name for the pattern behind it — and it is not bad dog.

In this episode I am decoding the Trust Fund Puppy: what it is, why Doodles drift there faster than almost any other breed, ten signs your dog has landed there, and the one structural shift that flips the whole dynamic.

This concept comes from trainer and author Suzanne Clothier and her relationship-centered train...
