🐾 How to Train a Doodle Puppy to Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Speak & Bell Train for Outside Success

One of the biggest reasons families fall in love with Mini Aussiedoodles, Toy Aussiedoodles, and Mini Bernedoodles is how incredibly smart, intuitive, and eager to learn they are.

At Home Sweet Home Doodles, we hear it all the time:

“Our puppy learned faster than we ever expected.”

That’s because these breeds combine the high intelligence of the Poodle with the loyalty, attentiveness, and family-focused temperament of the Australian Shepherd or Bernese Mountain Dog.

The result?

👉 A puppy that learns routines, commands, and house manners shockingly fast.

If you’ve been searching for easy-to-train doodle puppies in Alabama, Atlanta, or Nashville, this guide will show you just how quickly your puppy can master the basics.

🧠 Why HSHD Doodles Learn So Fast

Our puppies are known for:

• ✔ strong eye contact

• ✔ people-focused personalities

• ✔ eagerness to please

• ✔ quick pattern recognition

• ✔ food motivation

• ✔ emotional bonding

This makes commands like:

• sit

• stay

• lay down

• speak

• bell training

• potty routines

much easier than many other breeds.

Mini Aussiedoodles and Toy Aussiedoodles especially excel because of their Australian Shepherd intelligence, while Mini Bernedoodles shine with their calm focus and consistency.

🪑 Step 1: Teaching Your Puppy to SIT

Sit is usually the first command our doodles master quickly.

How to do it:

1. Hold a treat close to their nose

2. Slowly move it upward

3. As their head follows, their bottom naturally lowers

4. The moment they sit, say:
   “Sit”

5. Reward immediately

👉 Most HSHD puppies catch this in just a few short sessions.

That’s the beauty of raising highly intelligent doodle lines.

🔔 Step 2: Bell Training for Going Outside

Bell training is one of the BEST things you can teach early.

Because our puppies are highly routine-driven, this works extremely well.

How to bell train:

1. Hang bells by the door

2. Every potty trip, gently tap their paw or nose to the bells

3. Open the door immediately

4. Say:
   “Outside”

5. Praise heavily when they potty outside

Within days, many of our doodles begin:
👉 ringing the bell on their own

This is one reason buyers love our Mini Bernedoodles and Aussiedoodles for families.

✋ Step 3: Teaching STAY

Once they know sit, stay comes naturally.

Steps:

1. Put them in sit

2. Hold your hand up

3. Say:
   “Stay”

4. Step back one step

5. Reward quickly

6. Slowly build distance

Because HSHD doodles bond strongly with people, they naturally want to watch and wait for your cue.

🛏️ Step 4: Teaching LAY DOWN

This command helps with calmness and relaxation.

How:

1. Start with sit

2. Lower a treat from nose to floor

3. Pull it slightly outward

4. As they lower, say:
   “Lay down”

5. Reward instantly

Mini Bernedoodles especially excel here because of their calmer temperament.

🗣️ Step 5: Teaching SPEAK

This is a fun one families LOVE.

How:

1. Use excitement (toy, knock, or treat)

2. Wait for one bark

3. Say:
   “Speak!”

4. Reward immediately

5. Repeat consistently

Mini Aussiedoodles usually learn this very quickly because of their alert, expressive personalities.
