 (Spoiler: No! But the way you train them matters.)

If you've ever wondered why your Doodle seems to have boundless energy, struggles to focus, or just doesn’t respond the way other dogs do, you’re not alone! Doodles are smart, sensitive, and unique, which means traditional training methods don’t always work for them.
