Our Team
Jan Young, Founder, Owner, Trainer
As a youngster, I had a grandfather who was truly a dog whisperer.
As a woman, I have combined the magical observations and the learned wisdom from my childhood experiences with my beloved grandfather. He always was a soft-spoken, gentle spirit. He was never weary of his responsibilities and intentions. His incredible patience with all the breeds of his foster care and rescues was impressive and memorable to me. His training was gentle. He rewarded his dogs with copious amounts of praise, with amazing results. He was as good as his word. When I was introduced to this fascinating breed, the authentic Australian Labradoodle, I began dreaming, planning, and working — doing everything in my power to discover, nurture, and train this breed to form a premium Australian Labradoodle program. My dream turned into a fantastic journey. It has been a success from day one!
Now, almost ten years later, the passion and love for this work and breed are as fresh to me as it was on that first day!
Already Trained Australian Labradoodles is the expression of how extraordinary life can be with a well-trained doodle.
Perfection is not obtainable, but excellence is. It's not luck, it's skill — and that's what I do!
Thank you, God, for Mr. Charlie Sanders, my grandfather, for such a time as this!
David
My husband and minute man! He is helpful on all levels. He has been present and is the record keeper of our many puppy deliveries. Together we have pulled many all-nighters with our mommas and newborns. He loves this breed with a genuine doodle passion. David maintains our beautiful seven-and-a-half-acre campus.
He is good at Q.C.-ing us on everything, and that's ok!
Patterson
Patterson is the brains of this premium program. She is my marketing and communications expert. Patterson is our granddaughter and has been with me since my dream, and this journey began. She is a blessing to me!
We also have several puppy cuddlers that are professionally trained to handle and care for newborn and maturing puppies.

Know Asheville Magazine
Being nominated for Know Women Asheville (2019) was more than thrilling for me. They are a global media company and community dedicated to amplifying the voices of female leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs. Somehow an old dog lady was showcased. I am still humbled that I was published in this prestigious format. My hard work has been recognized by women in my community. Does it get any better than that?

Nursing Home Therapy
Before Covid, for seven years, all of my doodles provided pet therapy to a local nursing home for two hours on Tuesdays. We have received varied recognition through the years for our services. But, honestly, we received the blessing as much or more than the nursing home patients. Seeing the many Australian Labradoodle puppies in training be so gentle and loving to the sick and lonely, bringing the residents so much joy, was magic! Thank you for the privilege of sharing this fabulous breed.

Canine Activ Commercial
Canine Activ is a Rapid Anti-Inflammation Support that is completely safe for dogs. It was a new product in the dog industry. However, I used it with my doodles with much success. So I was thrilled when this company wanted to film a commercial of my testimony at a local pet store. They also asked if they could showcase one of my well-trained doodles. I choose beautiful Candie!
A videographer from New York City arrived to film Doodle, Candie, and me with the product, which was awesome! Candie was a natural star! I actually put on makeup that day...
This commercial was on their website and also on the big screen playing continuously at Globel Pet Care Market venues for a few years.
Thank you, doodles, for bringing so much fun and love into my life!
I still use this product, and this old dog lady is having the time of my life!
