You should also brush your puppy’s coat several times each week. This will help prevent tangles and matting which can cause irritation or infections on your puppy’s skin.
Most Mini Goldendoodles have longer ears that need to be inspected regularly to make sure they are not dirty or have any signs of an infection.

Training and Exercising for your Mini Goldendoodle
Most Mini Goldendoodles are very intelligent and very easy to train. They have a strong sense to please their owners. Most doodle owners find it easy to train their puppy with positive reinforcement training styles using treats, and praise during the process. Short and fun training sessions usually work best.
Mini Goldendoodles are smaller in size and are less energetic than some other breeds. Daily exercise like walks or playtime will help keep your puppy in shape and not get overweight.
Mini Goldendoodles love to be near their families. Some display separation anxiety when you leave them alone for long periods of time. To help overcome this, start by leaving for just a few minutes at a time and then come back to reinforce to them that you will always return. And gradually lengthen the amount of time you are gone or out of sight. This will gradually teach them to be less stressed while you are gone.
How soon can I bring my Blue Diamond Mini Goldendoodle Puppy Home?
Mini Goldendoodle pups start their last stage of development and can be weaned safely from their mothers when they are 7 weeks old. Separating the mini doodle puppy from his mother before he reaches 8 weeks old puts the puppy’s health at risk. So the best time to receive your puppy is after he turns 8 weeks old and has been weaned off his mother’s milk and is eating dry puppy food. This is the perfect time to start potty training and instill positive behavior in your new puppy. It also needs mentioning that you should invest in lots of chew and play toys for your pup to play with to keep them from getting bored.
