jesfrisk....I have fosterd many dogs over the past 30yrs and have found much of the time
1. The dog just needs more attention and training
2. at 1st they don't know what buttons they can push yet so starting training after a few days usually does well
3. giving tons of praise and having a sense of humor with patience mixed in helps the dog adjust better.
Peanut is awesome with infants and small kids, just sits there and lets them pet, hug , kiss whatever and she doesn't lick them or jump at all
she has been this way as a puppy even though she was the most energetic and exploratory goldendoodle on earth. hhhahhaa
at 11mos she started to calm right down
Max via more training now has learned to sit and wait for children to approach him while he sits and waits
doodles really are good with kids....so with some daily short training sessions this 11mo doodle and lots of love and praise should start to mature into a well mannered, happy lovable comical and intelligent doodle
So you can look at this way, you don't go thru early puppyhood stages and just have to retrain a 11mos doodle in his prime for training as they start to mature a litte at this age.
