This is a great reminder from the ALAA on preventing Separation Anxiety!

🐾 A confident puppy doesn't happen by chance—it happens through patience, consistency, and positive experiences.

One of the most common concerns new puppy owners have is separation anxiety. The good news is that with the right foundation from the very beginning, you can help your Australian Labradoodle develop confidence and independence while strengthening the bond you share.

Here are 9 simple tips to help set your puppy up for success. 💙

Cottonwood Labradoodles’s Puppy Pickup Day was wonderful! We have the best families who adopt our puppies and it’s so fun to meet them all; some are repeat customers as well. What a privilege it is to raise this wonderful breed, the Australian Labradoodle, and place them in these loving hands of families who come from all over the United States. Make us proud Puppies; I love you to the moon and back and miss you already❣️Good Puppies🥰
Watch for more photos and videos of this fabulous litter from Cottonwood Stevie Mae and Legendary’s Lil Man Tate, now that I have a little more time to post. We plan to repeat this breeding next year; one litter a year for us!😃

Cottonwood Stevie Mae’s and Legendary Lil Man Tate puppies are 8 weeks old! We’ve had a full and wonderful week with the puppies; Veterinary checks with first Puppy Vaccines, Microchips implanted, Temperament Testing with our Certified Professional Dog Trainer Kelly Spencer and matching to our families, more visitors, and lots of adventures all over the ranch! Puppy pickup day is Tuesday and families are so excited to meet their puppies! There will be more photos in the week so stay tuned. We couldn’t be happier for the growth in our puppies and pups are excited to meet their new families!😍

It’s so fun to see how these pups grow and mature. Each morning puppies go outside, potty, eat their breakfast and run around a bit, wrestle with each other but mostly…they want to sit with me and be petted and cuddled! The rain has cut our playtime on the grass a bit short, but then we just sit on our covered back deck and listen to the rain and the birds calling, roosters crowing, an occasional car go by, and watch the sun come up. 😍 This is my happy place! This morning we sat there for an hour while they sat in my lap and I dried them with a towel. We’d work on puppy pushups and I’d toss tug toys on top of the Bosu ball, throw a Kong in the crate and watch all 5 puppies try to be in the crate at once. Eventually they were lulled to sleep by the rain and I could have stayed longer but there were cleanup chores to do, so we all went inside. They are so sweet, so alert and curious, and love anything new!
This photo is from another day, without rain. And I actually got a video of them while practicing the re-calls. Watch the next video to see how much they’ve improved! Love my Cottonwood Labradoodle Puppies!😘

At Cottonwood Labradoodles the Bosu ball is a great toy for teaching pups to balance! Turn it over and it becomes a blue mountain to climb.🙂
