Much like their poodle parent, bernedoodles are intelligent dogs, but this doesn't guarantee an easy road from excitable puppy to well-trained adult dog. These puppies tend to be stubborn but do respond well to positive reinforcements. With consistency and repetition, these eager-to-please pups will quickly learn to do what is expected of them. Keeping a bernedoodle mentally and physically stimulated will also help them to develop better social behavior. Try to find opportunities to socialize the dog to new people and other dogs, like taking walks with a neighbor and their dog, or doggy daycare centers.
