Our Philosophy
We Train Puppies. We Also Train Families.
One of the biggest reasons our adoptions are so successful is that we don’t just prepare puppies—we prepare people.
A puppy’s long-term success depends on consistency after they leave our nursery.
Throughout training, we teach puppies clear expectations, routines, and communication skills while helping families understand exactly how to continue that progress at home.
Our philosophy is simple: Every puppy needs…
-
Clear Rules & Expectations
-
Physical & Mental Exercise
-
Love & Affection
When those needs are met—in that order—puppies become happier, calmer, and easier to live with.

What Makes CWB Training Different?
At CW Bernedoodles, training is not a standalone service—it’s a natural extension of the intentional work that begins the day each puppy is born.
By the time a puppy enters one of our training programs, they have already completed our comprehensive early socialization and developmental curriculum, giving them a strong foundation for learning. This allows us to focus on advancing confidence, communication, and real-world life skills instead of starting from scratch.
Unlike large-scale board-and-train programs, we intentionally keep our training personalized.
Every puppy learns at a different pace, so we tailor our approach to each dog’s temperament, confidence level, and individual needs. Throughout their stay, puppies receive one-on-one attention, structured routines, and carefully planned experiences that prepare them for success both inside and outside the home.
Our goal goes beyond teaching obedience commands. We want puppies to confidently navigate everyday life.
Through real-world adventures, exposure to new environments, distractions, grooming, travel, and household routines, puppies learn how to think, adapt, and remain calm in a variety of situations—not simply respond to commands in a quiet training room.
Families remain an important part of the journey every step of the way.
We provide frequent updates, photos, videos, and progress reports so you can watch your puppy’s transformation while learning how to continue that success once they come home. We believe the best results happen when breeders, trainers, and families work together as a team.
Most importantly, our commitment doesn’t end on pickup day. Every training program is designed to create a lasting foundation that families can continue building upon for years to come.
With ongoing guidance, educational resources, and lifetime support, we’re dedicated to helping every CW Bernedoodles puppy grow into a confident, well-mannered companion and beloved member of the family.

Skills are reinforced—not guaranteed.
Every puppy learns at their own pace. The skills introduced during training depend on your puppy’s age, temperament, confidence, and the training program selected. Our goal is to build a reliable foundation that families can continue developing long after their puppy returns home.
This format is much more user-friendly than a long list of commands and makes it easy for visitors to see the progression from foundation skills → intermediate skills → advanced skills → fun specialty behaviors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my puppy fully trained when they come home?
Your puppy will have an excellent foundation, but training is a lifelong process. Our programs establish essential skills, routines, and communication while building confidence and good habits. Just like children, puppies continue learning throughout adolescence, so consistency at home is key. We’ll give you the tools, guidance, and support needed to continue building on everything your puppy learned during training.
Will I still need to train my puppy at home?
Yes. Our goal is to give your puppy—and your family—a tremendous head start. Continuing to practice commands, reinforce routines, and maintain consistent expectations at home is what transforms a well-started puppy into a well-trained adult dog. The more consistent you are, the more successful your puppy will be.
Which training program is right for my family?
That depends on your goals, experience level, and lifestyle.
-
Transitional Training Program (TTP): Ideal for nearly every family looking for a smoother transition home.
-
TTP Plus: Perfect for families wanting additional structure, advanced foundations, and more polished manners.
-
Reset & Revamp Camp: Great for older puppies or dogs that need a refresher or help overcoming early challenges.
-
Turn-Key Puppy: Our most comprehensive option for families who want a fully customized, extensively trained puppy before bringing them home.
We’re happy to help you determine which program is the best fit.
Can older puppies or dogs participate?
Absolutely! While our Transitional Training programs are designed specifically for CW Bernedoodles puppies, our Reset & Revamp Camp and many specialty training opportunities are appropriate for older puppies and, in many cases, adult dogs. Every training candidate begins with an intake evaluation so we can customize their training plan.
What if I need to delay pickup after training?
No problem. Our Extended Stay Training option allows your puppy to remain with us while continuing personalized training until your family is ready for pickup. This is a popular option for vacations, work schedules, or travel delays and helps your puppy continue making progress in a structured environment.
How do I reserve a training spot?
If you’re already on our Master Waitlist, you do not need to reserve training months in advance. Most families choose their preferred training program when committing to a litter. Availability is limited, so we recommend making your selection as early as possible.
Can non-CW Bernedoodles puppies attend?
Our training programs are designed primarily for CW Bernedoodles families, who receive first priority. On occasion, we may accept outside puppies or dogs on a case-by-case basis depending on availability, age, temperament, and training goals. If you’re interested, we’d love to discuss your situation and determine whether our program is a good fit.
How often will I receive updates?
Families receive regular updates throughout their puppy’s stay, including photos, videos, progress reports, and highlights from training sessions. Many families also enjoy following daily content on our Facebook and Instagram Stories whenever training camps are in session. Watching your puppy’s progress is one of the most exciting parts of the experience!
What should I bring if my puppy is attending training?
We’ll let you know exactly what your puppy needs before arrival. In most cases, we’ll ask you to bring your puppy’s food, any required medications or supplements, and any approved personal items. We provide the structured training environment, enrichment activities, equipment, and everything needed to support your puppy’s daily routine while they’re with us.
What training methods do you use?
Our training philosophy combines positive reinforcement, relationship-based communication, structured routines, and clear expectations. We incorporate concepts from Baxter & Bella, Puppy Culture, Jeanette Forrey’s Ultimate Badass Breeder’s Guide, and years of hands-on experience raising and training Bernedoodles. Every puppy receives an individualized approach based on their temperament, confidence level, and learning style.
What makes CW Bernedoodles training different?
Our puppies don’t begin training at eight weeks—they’ve been learning since birth. Every puppy enters training after completing our comprehensive early socialization curriculum, which includes Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Puppy Culture principles, confidence-building exercises, environmental exposure, and structured enrichment. This allows us to build on an exceptional developmental foundation, helping puppies learn faster, adapt more easily, and transition into family life with greater confidence.
Ready To Give Your Puppy An Incredible Head Start?
Thousands of hours have gone into developing the CW Bernedoodles puppy curriculum—from birth through advanced training.
Whether you’re interested in our Transitional Training Program, TTP Plus, or our fully customized Turn-Key Puppy experience, we’re excited to help your puppy become a confident, well-mannered companion for years to come.
