Fureverdoodles Socialization Plan

Socializing puppies requires daily interaction, handling, and exposure to various stimuli over several weeks. This includes:

• Introducing them to different surfaces, sounds, and environments.
• Spending time on crate training, confidence-building exercises, and safe playtime.
• Monitoring individual reactions to ensure each puppy develops appropriately.

My hands-on involvement adds significant time to their daily responsibilities, which increases the overall cost.

I invest in materials and tools to create a stimulating environment, such as:

• Age-appropriate toys, tunnels, and wobble boards.
• Sound desensitization programs – using sounds machines/music.
• Safe play areas with diverse textures and objects.
• 
  

These tools and materials enhance socialization but come with added expenses.

As a responsible breeder, I always want to be educated through training programs, such as Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) protocols, and I follow the advice from The Badass Breeder Guide. The cost of these programs, as well as the knowledge they provide, is factored into the price.

Socialized puppies are more likely to grow into confident, well-behaved adult dogs. As a Goldendoodle breeder I want to ensure this level of preparation is essentially guaranteeing a higher-quality companion for my buyers. The added value and reduced risk of behavioral problems make these puppies more desirable and justify the higher cost.

Socialization often goes hand-in-hand with better overall care and at Fureverdoodles we:

• Spend more on quality food, veterinary care, and vaccinations.
• Dedicate resources to monitoring health and temperament closely.
• Ensure puppies are emotionally and physically ready for their new homes.

Investing in a well-socialized puppy can save new owners time, stress, and money in the long run by reducing the likelihood of behavioral problems and making the transition smoother.

Through this comprehensive socialization plan, each puppy leaves my care confident, curious, and well-prepared to thrive in their new home. This foundation not only helps them adapt quickly but also establishes a lifetime of positive behavior and strong bonds with humans.

Golden doodles like ours often sell for $4,000 or more, you can 'Google it' and you should, but, when we tell you our price is $3000 CAD—which includes GST and QST and $500 CAD non-refundable deposit— We also offer 2 options::

It might still feel like a lot. You might even be thinking, “Why would I spend this much when I could adopt for less?” Or perhaps you’re wondering, “Are breeders just charging more because golden doodles are so popular?”

Those are fair questions, and I’d probably ask the same thing in your shoes. But if you’ve made it this far, you understand that we’re not just selling a dog—we’re providing a companion who’s been raised with care, love, and preparation for a lifetime in their new home. 

Between the health checks, Genetic Testing, early socialization, and all the resources we put into each puppy, $3,000 isn’t just a price—it’s a reflection of the value and commitment we offer to you and your future best friend.
