Adult Doodle Socialization — Tips & Training for Confident Dogs at Any Age

Think it’s too late to socialize your adult Doodle? Think again!

In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I sit down with Marge Rogers and Eileen Anderson, authors of Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It, to talk about why socialization isn’t just for puppies and how to help your Doodle feel more confident in the world.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why socialization extends beyond puppyhood
✔️ How to read your Doodle’s body language to avoid overwhelm
✔️ The 3-second rule for safe, polite greetings
✔️ Why adolescent Doodles (2–3 years old) may become more selective with playmates
✔️ Practical exercises for confidence-building and calm socialization

🐾 We also tackle common Doodle struggles like:

• Barking at bikes
• Fear of strangers
• Over-exuberant greetings
