The Modern Bernedoodle Handbook

Behaviour, training and everyday life, from choosing a puppy to the senior years

Most breed books tell you a Bernedoodle is a calm teddy bear. Then you bring one home and meet the real thing.

A gentle giant with a Poodle's brain. This book is about that dog, and what to do about it today.

I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I wrote this the way I'd talk to you if we were stood in a field together.

Inside the book: 131 pages, 18 chapters, 2 formats (PDF and EPUB). Try this today: small things to do with your dog at the end of almost every chapter.
