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.

Dolly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After losing our rescue dogs, we opted to pursue our next family member through a breeder for a couple of reasons and this would be our first time. I spent a lot of time researching and came across Jessica's program and CWB. From the moment I spoke to Jess on the phone, I felt at ease with our decision to get our next dog with her program. She let me ask endless questions and I immediately felt a part of "the CWB family".
Fast forward several weeks and we decided to enter the Tatum x Benny litter, initially as a family, and then as fate would have it, we pursued becoming a guardian family. From start to finish, the process has been seamless. We were provided endless updates, resources, and tips to make us successful puppy/dog owners. Due to having small kids at home and busy schedules, we opted to place our pup in to the TTP plus program and we have NO REGRETS!! Dolly has come home as a confident, well rounded, integrated member of our family and we couldn't love her more! Thanks to the skills she learned at TTP plus, she was sleeping through the night in her crate day 1, she is confident in new situations, she has an amazing start to all of her basic commands, and having her in the home with small kids has not felt stressful at all because she has the knowledge and training to navigate our everyday routines with us. Since the day Dolly has moved in, we can't help but think she was meant for us all along and we are SO SO grateful to Jess, Halle, and Kylyn for giving us our girl, helping us be successful in her training, and equipping her with all the skills she needed to become a member of our family. We ♡ CWB
Tracker ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“We, Tammy and Alan are the proud owners of Tracker, a guardian male, from Tatum and Benny’s litter. We have had several dogs over the years but Tracker is so far the best. CWB breeder Jessica was so easy to work with as we needed a gentle dog as a playmate for our mini dachshund, Ember, who has been paralyzed since last November due to a spontaneous rupture of her spinal disc. Tracker has assisted Ember to be more active and interested in life. Ember now scoots around the house to play with Tracker. The TTP and TTP Plus classes definitely made the difference for the transition of Tracker to our home. He is so sweet, handsome and smart. We have been impressed with his skills and abilities learned from the classes. He walks for us on a leash around our mile circle neighborhood at “heel” most of the time. He is great with all the basic puppy training he learned.
Tammy and I highly recommend TTP and TTP plus offered by CWB. The trainers, Halle and Kylyn, are skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Thank you.”
Bodhi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are IN LOVE with our Bodhi! He is so so wonderful - he makes us smile every day! We invested in TTP and TTP+ and cannot say enough about the AMAZING training he received. By the time he came to us, he knew several commands and he has followed through on them. People comment that he should be a therapy dog! The extra time he spent in the hands of these experts have created the most amazing foundation for him to continue to learn & grow into a wonderful companion. We loved the daily updates we got, and we appreciated all of their guidance when we picked him up & beyond. We would highly recommend Jess & her team for not only getting the best baby dog ever but also investing in the training provided was the best decision ever - our puppy is able to calm down fairly easily, follow a routine, aims to please & knows so many commands that make it easier to transition him home - we cannot express our gratitude enough! We bring him into the office each day, and he is often complimented for his good manners - even at only 3 1/2 months old!!!

Penny ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our Penny just completed R&R Training, and we couldn't be more pleased! We got Penny from CWB in December and were impressed at how first class they were, so trusting for R&R was an easy decision for us. For training, Penny spent 20 days there, and every day we received a summary of the day including what was worked on, skills learned, challenges and more. The updates included photos and videos. We missed her while she was gone, but the great communication helped - we could tell she was progressing really well, she was having fun, and overall we knew this would be great for Penny. While there, Penny thrived - she went with a decent foundation of skills but came home at a very advanced level that exceeded our expectations.
Betty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our puppy, Betty, just finished the R&R training. We are SO impressed with the training camp. Betty came back to us with so many new tricks and the best manners. We have 4 young children at home which means lots of little toys. Betty has mastered “leave it” and is amazing with our boys. We received daily updates from Jessica as well as the most beautiful pictures of our girl! Sending her to R&R was the best decision!
Bear ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’ve run the gamut of CWB’s offerings, picking our puppy Bear in January, having him stay for transitional training, then heading back for R&R when he was 4 1/2 months old. Throughout each step, Jess’s communication is fantastic, we see how much Bear learns from Jess and her team, and how much the CWB family cares about Bear as a whole! Bear had great basic skills, but puppy impulses, coming home from Transitional Training. After R&R, he is so well mannered and has learned how to handle new and different experiences. Jess also tailored his training specifically to what was important to us and Bear, such as helping him be comfortable in the car. It is well worth the time away from home!

Mr. G ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We booked a long trip a year prior to making the commitment to get our Pup (Mr. G). After taking him home from transitional training in early February we spent daily time on the Baxter & Bella protocol/schedule to continue the excellent work done in transitional training. "G's" training was coming along quite well, and we simply didn't want to leave him with "just anybody" when we left for our three-week trip in mid-April. So, with minimal convincing Jess agreed to take him in for Reboot & Revamp Camp #1.
Our original thought for the investment in Camp was to ensure “G" was safe, secure and in an environment where he would not regress from our previous training efforts. Well, we got that and so much more! While at Reboot & Revamp Camp he was loved as much, and trained and socialized even better than we were doing. We returned from our trip to a calm, fulfilled and quite disciplined young pup (for a five-month-old anyway). The daily updates from the CWB Team provided a calming effect and allowed us to have a guilt-free vacation knowing he was in great hands. A side benefit we received was observing some training techniques and protocols from the daily videos. We have been able to replicate those as we continue with the ongoing journey of training and believe we are more effective as trainers as a result of watching the CWB trainers in action. The only "bad thing" - is he's so dang well behaved and enjoyed his training partner (Phin) so much, that we are now on the list for him to get a sibling. And, when he/she arrives - we will definitely commit to transitional training - Baxter & Bella Protocol - Followed by a Reboot/Revamp training session. The training regimen and commands are consistent between CWB staff and our home training schedule and we can see the positive impact it is having on "G".
One final note, I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on the passion for these dogs that the entire CWB team has. We can hire a trainer; we can hire a boarding place - but we simply can't pay someone for love, caring and affection for your pet. That comes from the big CWB heart.”

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.

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 PLUS (TTP+): Ideal for nearly every family looking for a smoother transition home and wanting additional structure, advanced foundations, and more polished manners.
-
Additional training days (review): Great for adding a day or two after TTP+ ends for basic review
-
Turn-Key Days of training: A hybrid option for families who want some off-site review after TTP+ ends
-
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?
Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to accommodate older dogs in our facility due to the biosecurity risk it poses as well as a limitation in time and space at times. If there are openings in our breeding schedule to accommodate this request, those situations are handled on a case-by-case basis.
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 for CW Bernedoodles families. Our 8 week Puppy socialization sets our pups up for success and they are ready to transition into TTP+. We have found that not all dogs at 8 weeks are at the same level of readiness and also pose a very real risk to our biosecurity.
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 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.
