Items to Bring When You Pick Up Your Australian Labradoodle Puppy

Bottled water or Water Rover
Water dish
Old towels
Plastic bag for poop scoop up

If you take your Australian Labradoodle puppy out of the crate, please attach a leash – your Australian Labradoodle puppy is not leash trained but attaching the leash is a safety measure. 

Use the old towel, if necessary, to clean off your puppy if the puppy was not able to “hold it” in the crate.
Hold and comfort your Australian Labradoodle puppy – he/she maybe a little scared

Once you are back in the car, your Australian Labradoodle puppy can sit on a lap or ride in the crate

Do take your Australian Labradoodle puppy home for quiet time with you and your family for the first 24 hours
Keep in mind that your puppy is not fully vaccinated until it has had at least 3 puppy shots.   Dog parks and pet stores are not a good idea until your puppy is fully vaccinated.

Helpful Hints on House Training

Your Australian Labradoodle puppy has been trained to use a litter box filled with comfort pressed wood pellets (these can be purchased at any pet/feed supply store), as well as going potty outside on the grass with the command “go potty”.  We use a small litter box, designed for cats (purchased at a pet supply store) and use it in an enclosed area. 

Remember, when your Australian Labradoodle puppy eats, wait almost ½ an hour and the puppy will need to go potty and poop either in the litter box or outside with the command “go potty”. Consistency is the name of the game with potty training your new Australian Labradoodle puppy!
