Training
Poodles are highly intelligent, eager to please, and are quick learners. They are also headstrong, full of energy, and mischievous, which may make training a challenge. Here are few tips to help out:
> Start training early, during puppyhood
> Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise. Poodles love carrots, duck flavored treats, and try to stay away from rawhide
> Establish consistent rules, routines, and boundaries
> Focus on socializing your puppy with people, animals, and environments
> Provide lots of mental stimulation through agility games, puzzle toys, obstacle courses, and training exercises
> Consider professional training or obedience classes if needed
> Try to refrain from hitting or swatting your puppy, instead use proper techniques for bad behavior, such as when they use the bathroom inside- instead of smushing their nose in the pee or poop or hitting- say no potty inside and take them outside immediately
> Do not throw your puppy in the kennel for every bad behavior, this should be their safe haven and you want to establish a good connection with the kennel so they will freely go in there at night or when your away
> Use short words for training, such as when outside say "use it" for them to soil outside only
> Be patient, persistent, and maintain a positive attitude throughout the training process!
