Finding the Right Obedience Trainer

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

As many of you know, dogs need some guidance to become the sweet little angel we all want for a pet.  We commonly refer new owners to look for a qualified obedience trainer in their own area to deal with just about any potential puppy problem you may have.  There are quite a few things that are good to look for in your search.  Making sure your trainer is a member of an accredited organization is a must.  We love the APTD, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Click the link below to search their database for trainers in your area!  We also look for trainers that use positive reinforcement in their methods.  Any trainer that uses methods such as yelling, shocking,  jerking a leash, especially isolation, is someone you may want to avoid.  Remember that change doesn’t happen right away!  If your puppy has picked up a bad habit, it’s great to address it, but have patience and love for your pet as Manor Lake Labradoodles want nothing more than to make you happy.  It may just need help knowing what makes you happy!

More of Manor Lake Brutus

Monday, January 30th, 2012

We’ve had the joy of watching Brutus flourish in his new home.  We love to share these photos with everyone, as he is just an exceptional example of a Manor Lake Labradoodle! When talking about our Standard dogs we frequently use the term “Gentle Giants”. If you’ve ever wondered why, I swear it’s because sometimes the bigger they are the more they want to cuddle! Manor Lake Artimus for example has it in his head that he’s a lap dog, all 55lbs of him.  I saw this picture that came in to us from Brutus’s owner and it just amused me to no end!

Hi Kim and Erin!

Wanted to keep you up to speed on Brutus.  He is the love of our lives and it is the greatest feeling to see him thrive and be happy.

Wherever we go Brutus is a show stopper and we get stares, people wanting to take his picture, questions from awestruck fans, even Facebook followers.  Everyone knows Brutus!!!

Thank you a million times over for letting us share in the doodle world, we are changed forever!!

XOXO

Mimi and Mr. B

Snow Pups

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

With the weather changing we have been getting a steady stream of pictures from all of you, of your Manor Lake Labradoodle in the snow!  I couldn’t be more pleased when I get update pictures from everyone, so always feel free to drop a line.

First off, did you see Manor Lake Indy featured within the last few weeks? We got a new picture with her coat coming in beautifully!

Don’t know about water yet, but Indy sure likes the snow!!!  It’s hard to get her back inside.  :)

Thought you might like a picture.

Hi Kim -

I wanted to send you a fun picture of Ike.  He is from the Leo and Sassy litter last February.  We take him hiking with us almost every weekend.  He can’t get enough of it.  He loves the deep snow and playing with the kids.  He is such a good boy.  He has grown up so much over the last year and we just love him.

Hi Kim and Erin,

We just wanted to touch base and let you all know that Moxie continues to thrive in Maplewood, NJ.  He is now exactly 5 months old.

We had our first snow of the season yesterday and Moxie just loved it, as you can probably tell from this photo!  We are having such a wonderful time with him, watching him grow and acquire new skills.  Natalie takes Moxie to a weekly puppy kindergarten class and he has really come a long way in terms of socializing with other pups.  He also now responds consistently to “sit” and “down” and is working on “here”.

No matter where we go, people always stop us to pet Moxie and ask about him.  Everyone has something to say about his incredible wavy hair and coloring.

Thank you once again for providing us with such a fine pet.  Wishing you all the best for a wonderful 2012.

Natalie, Jonathan, Ethan & Jacob

Hi Kim,

We wanted to share a couple pictures of Gracie Rose playing in the snow yesterday.  To say she loves snow would be an understatement.

We can’t imagine our life without her.  One of the things you told us when we picked her up 18 months ago was, “she will make you laugh out loud every day.”  She’s a ham and her expressions are priceless.

She loves people and other dogs but gets so excited when our grandkids come over.  They love her and she loves them.

Thanks again for raising such wonderful Australian Labradoodles.

Ike and Renee

Puppy Names

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Here at Manor Lake we have our share of dogs to name and we certainly have a fun time with it.  We just posted our little Biscuit to our Manor Lake girls to the website the other day and were quite pleased with her full name, Manor Lake Dulce de Leche.  We have had her nickname Biscuit for quite some time and coming up with her full name, we saw that Dulce de Leche meant “Sweet of Milk” roughly and just thought it couldn’t be more perfect.  We know some of you name your puppy before getting him/her sometimes and others wait to meet their new pooch to decide.  On the thought of pet names, I went over to www.petmd.com and decided to share this with all of you!

Manor Lake Ellie

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

We received a Very cute Christmas card in the mail the other day, in the shape of a Christmas Ornament! The Peter’s just celebrated their first holiday season with their new Manor Lake Labradoodle!

We absolutely love our little Ellie! After some serious dog searching, it was dog-sitting the Chance Family’s labradoodle, Kip (also a Manor Lake dog) that made us decide we wanted a labradoodle. In October, we made the trip, by car, from California to Washington to pick up our new addition to the family. From the moment we met her, we were in love! She has been a wonderful dog and gets along great with our family members’ four-legged friends, too! We cannot imagine our lives without her sweet, loving, and spunky personality. Thank you, Manor Lake, for giving us the opportunity to be parents to Ellie and for the first time parent/pet owner’s guidance…we couldn’t be happier!

Our Christmas card would not be complete, without our baby so, Merry Christmas from the Peters’ Family (Bryan, Courtney, and Ellie) 2011.

Manor Lake Roxanne Testimonial

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Kim,

I never got a chance to tell you how much we love our girl Roxanne- she is 100% perfect!

So smart and so well behaved- she is honestly the best tempered dog we have ever seen-

she is admired by all who see her -

I never got a chance to say “Thank you for our baby girl”

Regina

PS -is it common for this breed to always carry something in their mouth?

Thank you so much for the update on your beautiful little girl! To answer the question though, this is indeed something we see every so often!  One of our ladies, Emmie, is so silly with her toys!  She has a toy horse that she carries around, and when she can’t find it she will pick up even a soft doggy bed and drag it with her.  It’s one of the more endearing parts of her personality!

Manor Lake Indy In Her New Home

Monday, January 9th, 2012

We just got a wonderful letter from one of our puppies families! We think she’s a shining example of what a Manor Lake Labradoodle should be. Here she is with some members of her new family. Thank you so much Stacey for the picture and heart warming letter!

Kim -

She’s a world different than our last dog.  She’s very tolerant of the kids and likes everyone (people or animal) that she meets.  She’s a star at fetch.  Actually started it herself about the 3rd day home.  She’s great in the car.  Doesn’t cause a fuss when she needs to stay home alone either.  She even gets along with my parents dreaded chihuahua.  I can’t wait until it’s warm and see if she likes the water.  She rarely barks at anything.  I think the only time I’ve heard her bark is when she wants to play…  She does great on a leash and has been walking to the school twice a day since we got her.  Was worried I’d be one of those people carrying their dog around but that wore off after the first week -whew!  She is the star of school and all the kids know her.

Beautiful Manor Lake Mara in Holland

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

One of our beautiful puppies has been having a joy at her new home in Holland. We love to hear about our puppies in their new homes and see how they have grown with new families – it’s one of the best parts of what we do!

I do hope you have had a wonderful X-mas. I would like to send you an update about Mara. Although it is only 10 days she is here with us, it seems like she has lived here forever. She is very happy, plays a lot, eats very well and is not afraid of other dogs. We took her to the beach and she had a great time. She is quite athletic and loves to run around. We are very very happy with her and is a friend of us all.

Best regards,

Inge and Family
