Episode Is Your Doodle a Trust Fund Puppy? The Pattern Behind the Chaos
Is life with your Doodle more chaotic than calm? There is a name for the pattern behind it — and it is not bad dog.
In this episode I am decoding the Trust Fund Puppy: what it is, why Doodles drift there faster than almost any other breed, ten signs your dog has landed there, and the one structural shift that flips the whole dynamic.
This concept comes from trainer and author Suzanne Clothier and her relationship-centered training philosophy — one of the most useful frameworks I have ever brought into my work with Doodle families.
If last week's episode on the viral RVC Doodle behavior study resonated, this is the practical follow-up. The researchers documented this pattern across 9,000+ dogs without naming it. This episode names it and starts the fix.
