Crate Training Your Australian Labradoodle
Get a Dog Bed
Something small that has a pillow edge to snuggle into, removable/washable cover is a plus
Buy a Wire Crate
We buy ours at amazon.com or chewy.com. This will serve as a safe place for your puppy. We do NOT recommend a corral. This breed climbs, the corrals are worthless after 9 weeks of age. The crate will help with continuing training and keep your puppy safe. You save about $50 buying the crate online.

Note that the stated packaging weights may be larger than your puppy will be. This breed stretches out when they sleep we don’t want paws poking through the crate and the dog being injured.
