Autumn is a season of cozy sweaters, golden leaves, and family traditions — and it’s also one of the very best times of year to bring home a new Doodle puppy. At Teddy Bear Doodles, we’ve helped thousands of families find their perfect companion, and fall has always been a favorite season for starting a puppy journey.
Here’s why autumn is such an ideal season for raising, training, and bonding with your new Doodle.
🍁 Autumn Routines Make Puppy Training Easier
When school is back in session and work routines settle in, families naturally develop consistent schedules. Puppies thrive on structure — regular meal times, potty breaks, play sessions, and bedtime.
With consistent routines, your Doodle will quickly learn good habits and develop into a confident, well-mannered companion. This is also the perfect season to begin puppy training through our Doodle Prep School (https://teddybeargoldendoodles.com/prep-school), where we lay the foundation for obedience, socialization, and confidence.
🍁 Cooler Weather = Happier Puppies
Unlike the heat of summer or the ice of winter, autumn brings comfortable outdoor weather that’s perfect for puppy play. Long walks under falling leaves, chasing through piles of pumpkins, and plenty of fresh-air potty breaks all make fall a dream season for raising a puppy.
House training becomes easier when the weather is comfortable, and your Doodle will enjoy spending more time outdoors, exploring and exercising.
🍁 Socialization Opportunities in Fall
One of the most important parts of raising a puppy is early socialization — introducing them to new people, sights, and experiences. Autumn offers endless opportunities:
• Visits to pumpkin patches or outdoor markets
• Neighborhood walks with falling leaves underfoot
• Family gatherings and cozy fireside evenings
These experiences help shape your Doodle into a calm, confident, and loving companion.
🍁 The Smeraglia Difference
At Smeraglia, we don’t just raise puppies — we raise family members. Every Doodle begins life in our Super Puppy Program, which builds strong foundations in socialization and confidence. Families can continue training with our Doodle Prep School (https://teddybeargoldendoodles.com/prep-school), giving their puppy the best start in life.
When adoption day arrives, our Gotcha Day Experience (https://teddybeargoldendoodles.com/gotcha-day) makes bringing home your Doodle unforgettable. And with three amazing breeds — Goldendoodles, Schnoodles, and Twoodles — there’s a perfect Teddy Bear Doodle for every family.
🍁 Why Fall is the Perfect Season to Apply
The memories you create with your Doodle this fall — walking through leaves, snuggling on chilly evenings, playing in the crisp autumn air — will last a lifetime.
