Anyone who is considering getting a Poodle for a pet should first become more informed and aware on the topic of Poodle training. Training a Poodle can often be trying however, and especially this is a breed that tends to be quite stubborn and often dominant as well.
This is particularly important for people who are planning on introducing the dog to a home with children, so that there will not be a worry of the dog harming the children, either accidentally or on purpose. There are a few issues in particular that need to be addressed here, including housetraining, whining puppy, pet travel and puppy chewing. All of these are going to be incredibly important things to teach to a Poodle puppy, or any type of dog for that matter.
There are many important aspects involved with Poodle training, and one of the most important of all is to teach them what they can chew and what they cannot. The best way to do this is to buy them some toys and then teach them that they are allowed to chew these and nothing else.
If they are ever caught with a shoe or piece of clothing in their mouth for instance, rather than reprimanding them it is best to simply replace the item with one of their toys. Even if this happens a few times, they will end up learning over time.
There a few things that should never be done here and in particular this means no chasing the puppy to take something away because they will just think that they are playing. Remember that any area that the puppy is going to be playing in should be kept clean and clear, so that they will not become confused and be unsure of what they can play with and what they cannot.
When it comes to Poodle potty training, it is important to remember that Poodles respond better to positive reinforcement than to anger and yelling. It is important not to get frustrated when training the dog and instead remember that they will learn by trial and error, and not by getting punished.
Take the puppy outside on a regular basis and show it the proper place to go or, if paper training, keep the paper in the same place. Expect accidents and be consistent. Reward your puppy when the proper place is used and clean up any accidents quickly and completely to discourage use of the improper place again.
There are several different training methods that can be used to train a Poodle, but positive reinforcement has shown to be the best. Use treats and both verbal and physical praise to show the dog when they are doing right and this will make them feel good and strive to do better. Training any dog often takes a lot of and requires a lot of patience, but it can be done, and it will be well worth it in the end.
