Poodle Training Guide
Poodle Training is one of the most rewarding investments and joy that any pet owner can get.
The combination of intelligence and enthusiasm together, is what makes a poodle so easy to educate and train. She or he will appreciate your praises and rewards for her good behavior.
Each poodle training session has to be given in a positive way and always ending with a treat that your little poodle likes and loves.
There are several principles that you have to follow always when you start your poodle training. All of the principles are from my real experiences! Before that I would like to street about * Yours Patience is the only Solution to Train your Doggy)
Timing - You have to set aside regular time for training. Try to assign the same time everyday for your training sessions. (Discipline)
Consistency - Be Consistent by correcting your poodle every time it does something wrong and praise him every time he does something right. (read Praise and Reward for more information)
Teaching - Teach them always with one command at a time. Poodles are very intelligent and can be frustrated if we want to teach them too much at the same time. ( Because of their arrogant)
Praise and Reward - Always use Praise as a Reward. Your little cute doggy wants your affection and approval. Remember to give your doggy lots of praise for good behavior. (remenber your patience is the only solution for training your dog) eg. when you give a command to yours dog and he did it..use praise while touch the dog head or you can try to use yours doggy favourite snacks as reward. (snack as reward method will be more fast and effective than praise)
Physical Punishment – It is prohibited – Never, ever strike your dog. It doesn’t matter what it does, The only thing that physical violence will teach your poodle will be fear and hatred. (when your dog is fear and hatred you he will start to avoid or run from you. And if you did it before on your poodle try to change your training skills by following my guide). The only word that you have to say to correct your Dog is “NO” and always in a very calm and firm voice but must be serious with your dog to let he know that you're serious. Poodles understand exactly what you mean with this.
Poodle potty training – You have to take into consideration that sometime you will be on vacation or in some place without grass or simply the weather conditions are not appropriate to go out.This may affect your puppy and might cause a problem because he may resist eliminating.In cases like that you may consider House Training using a portable doggy toilet or potty to prevent him from holding it up for hours.
