Like all dogs, Labradoodles do bark. However, to call it excessively would be an understatement. Labradoodles, as well as their Poodle and Labrador Retriever parents, are naturally communicative because they were bred to be – they are gun dogs after all. Their purpose on the field was to do the hunter’s bidding and to communicate and coordinate with them.
So, yes, they bark. But they aren’t excessive barkers nor are they bred or meant as watchdogs. So, if you’ve had a Maltese, a Beagle, or a similar breed before – don’t worry, the Labradoodles are nothing like that. They will make their voice heard when they deem it important to do so but they shouldn’t drive your neighbors crazy or anything like that.
All you need with this breed is adequate obedience training and avoiding separation anxiety, and everything should be in order. Good socialization is also important to make sure that your dog greets strangers with a tail wag and not with a bark. Aside from that, you shouldn’t need any specialized no-bark training.
