Goldendoodles’ excitable nature is often a selling point when adopting one; having a happy and healthy dog around the house can bring joy like no other. However, in the first few years of the puppy’s life, they tend to be more energetic, which usually does pass. Like most breeds of puppies, as they age, they will become calmer.

Most Goldendoodles will start to calm around 12-18 months of age. This is where they’re past the puppy stage and moving forward into adulthood. People can sometimes feel confused as puppy teeth are lost at 6-8 months, but you can still expect excitable behavior for months after this.

When doodles are less than a year old, they generally have surplus energy, leading to intense periods of play and longer naps. It can help to embrace the play throughout puppyhood, but you may need to try other tricks if this doesn’t help.

Why Is My Puppy Being So Naughty?

When they’re puppies, you can expect licking, zoomies, and all-around hyperactive behavior, but this extra energy and curiosity can often lead the kindest doodles to be naughty. Younger Goldendoodles often become overexcited and frantic, which leads to them forgetting their ‘manners’ – so to speak.

This can be more noticeable if your dog is larger; size doesn’t determine whether your pup is old or not. So, if your doodle is larger, their puppy behavior can be harder to deal with as they have more strength; this can be difficult for an owner.

While this energy won’t disappear completely when adulthood arrives, it is expected to lessen. Slow training processes can start to prepare doodles for adult life, but you can’t expect them to be 100% calm after a year or so – they’ll always be fun-loving!

Three Stages Of Aging

There is a general three-stage experience that most Goldendoodles progress through. This will occur in most Goldendoodles but can vary. Do note that if your Goldendoodle is quiet and tired, this could signal something is wrong; always consult a professional opinion if this is the case.
