Products and Services We Highly Recommend
Poochie Bells:
These bells will make your life so much easier! Easily train your doodle to ring the bells when he or she needs to go potty. Put them by the door(s) frequently used for potty and ring them with her nose or paw each time you take her out and treat upon ringing. In no time she will ring them on her own! Find a word to say when you are out that only means potty, we use “hurry up”. Make a big deal and click and treat when she goes. Usually in two weeks or less, they will learn to pee and poop on command. No more walking and walking in the rain late at night waiting for the deed! They really work! Find them at Poochie-Bells.com.
Snuggle Puppies:
These wonderful little stuffed animals have a battery operated heart that actually beats and a warming bag that fits inside of the stuffie, giving your puppy a secure feeling of being snuggled up to mom or sibling. We love these and so do our dogs. They are wonderful to help your pup sleep at night! Don’t have your snuggle puppy in time for your new addition? Let us know! We try to have a few on hand for our families when needed!
MinkSheen 4 in 1 Shampoo:
After raising long haired dogs all of my adult life and trying no less than 20 different products, we were recommended this by another doodle breeder. It is wonderful! It leaves the dog’s fur soft as silk and even has a natural insect repellent. We love this product. Visit Touchofmink.com
Clicker Training:
By far the fastest and easiest way to train a dog. Doodles are highly intelligent to start and this just makes it easier. Karen Pryor is a well known dog trainer and her clicker training guides are exceptional. A web site that has a wealth of information and resources is Clickertraining.com.

Chris Christensen grooming products:
Chris Christensen has been showing dogs for many years and has developed a wonderful line of brushes and other grooming aids. Our dogs all love to be brushed with their pin brushes which have rounded and ground pins so they don’t scratch their skin. They also last a lot longer than any brush we have purchased at the store. We really love their Ice on Ice conditioner and use their White on White shampoo for Pringles, Lexi and Chianna. Find them at ChrisSystems.com.
Lupine Leads and Collars:
These collars are very sturdy, come in a large variety of designs and are guaranteed for life. You will probably go through many leashes because of chewing, these are replaced for life. Find out more at Lupinepet.com.

DoodleKisses.com
Doodlekisses is a great website set up a few years ago by a very ambitious and hard working woman named Adina. She has created such a fun and informative site, I know you will spend many hours there enjoying the conversations, making friends and learning things about such topics as grooming, food, allergies and more! You may even see your puppy in one of the front page slideshow! You create your own page with your pictures, videos and any information you want to share about you and your doodle. There is a page I recently set up for Springview Mini Goldendoodle Families, please visit and share and stop by my personal page to say hello!
