Poodles are one of the most intelligent breeds and they are quite easy to train compared to some other breeds.
Training a puppy poodle is fun and they learn the commands quickly.
Not all dogs are easily trainable, but you will have great results with a poodle.
The miniature poodle is the easiest to train compared to the toy poodle or standard poodle, in my opinion.
Poodles need and crave attention which is another reason they are exceptionally trainable.
They love the interaction with you during your training sessions.
Poodles tend to be barkers so you will want to train him when barking is appropriate or not.
This may sound a bit silly, but if you introduce your poodle to the letter carrier and newspaper delivery person, this will eliminate the barking when they come around on a daily basis.
Poodles can be hyper so getting the training accomplished quickly will be an important aspect to having him settle down and obey your commands.
Training a puppy poodle won't take you too long although you will still need patience.
Some things you want to be sure to teach your puppy are: * Don't bite.
* Not to chew on your things.
* Housebreaking.
* Crate trained.
(No, it's not cruel.
) * No excessive barking.
* Sit.
* Stay.
* Down.
* Fetch.
* Not to dart out of the front door.
* No digging.
* No growling.
* No begging.
* Heel.
* Be leashed trained.
* Not to be aggressive with other dogs.
Training a puppy poodle to know he isn't in charge is the first thing you need to do.
Regardless if you have a leash law or not in your city, your poodle should always be on a leash.
Poodles are fast and can take off if something catches their eye that they want to go investigate.
Keeping him on a leash is a matter of precaution.
Not to mention he is a small breed and doesn't need to be chasing after a larger dog that may be aggressive.
