Hi, I have a nearly 4 yo poodle, Kona, who loves to play, but also loves to demand play from other dogs. When he was about 1.5 my ex and I were able to get him to stop demand barking us, but we have never been able to get him to stop demand barking at other dogs while playing, or wanting to...

Is our 1 year old still a "puppy" for training purposes or are there generally different guidelines or methods we should be following? He was once a pretty relaxed, easy-going puppy, but after a lengthy medical issue and numerous hospital visits and some maturity (I assume), he's gotten a bit...

In just 2 weeks I will be getting my very first dog!! I’m so so excited to be a dog mom. I’ve always wanted one especially now. I’m hoping she will be my ESA as well as I work from home and get lonely sometimes. I love going for walks and hikes and now I can’t wait to do those things with her. I...

I’m on medication I have to take at night in order to even lay my head on a pillow. I don’t hear the puppy until about 5 or 6 am then I get up. We potty outside 100 times a day. He’s a toy I assume that’s why he goes sooo much. Not really 100 though it feels like it. Well his crate at night I...

Happy October! (Shhhh I know I’m a few days late.) This month, let’s try something new. We’ll call it Trick Club: Choose Your Own Adventure. :) Just fill in the blanks: When I blank, I want my poodle to blank. For example, when Peggy was a puppy, people would ask to meet her, call her in...

Welcome back to Trick Club! This month we’re going to play with hula hoops. Key word: Play! No pressure. Yes, you can train your poodle to soar through the hoop like a circus dog. But you can also: Work on “In,” laying the hoop flat and asking your poodle to step into the hoop with their...

I just got my standard poodle puppy 10 days ago at 8 weeks old. We are doing great with potty training and getting better on biting etc. We have enrolled in puppy class and so far have had one private session with the trainer and one regular puppy class (just yesterday). The breeder has advised...

I’m hoping I can get some expertly advice from my fellow poodle parents. We Are first time dog owners and have an 11 month old intact standard male name Chief. When we got our pup at 8 weeks we knew we had an energizer bunny. We are a very active family and made it a point to socialize him to...

About 2 months ago I got my first puppy. He's a standard poodle, and this is the first pet I've ever had. I'm very new to puppy training, one day I listened to a book By Zak George on training dogs. This book was very informative and helped me a lot and continues to help me a lot! It goes over...

Hello, last week my pup turned 5 months, I though we were doing well he listened to commands, went in his crate spontaneously, he understood he shouldn’t bark for long. Anyways as soon as he turned 5 BOOM ! Doesn’t listen to anything, I have to repeat commands multiple times before he does it...

i just got a toy poodle just 5 days back and we are trying to poty/pee train her. We have place pads in corners of each room so that she can go there when we are on office calls. Our challenge is she is getting confused with the placement of it in every room. How do we better coach her?

Hello All, I’m looking for some advice or general thoughts about problems we are having with our new mini poodle puppy, Finn. We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he’s now about 19 weeks. Finn is an absolutely gorgeous dog, extremely handsome but unfortunately we cannot seem to figure him...

Hello all! I have a 10 month old moyen poodle named George. We absolutely love him and he is the best most kind hearted dog. However, the main issue as of late has been him stealing items (literally anything, like socks, underwear, phone chargers, parts of a vacuum etc) and then guarding it. We...

Hi guys, new to this forum. Just got my first small dog (mini poodle) he is 10 weeks and 6lbs. He is learning very well and has his hyper days and calm days. He gets bursts of energy and I’m wondering the best way to exert this. I have a fairly big house and usually play fetch with a small ball...

Our standard poodle is almost two years old and still has some concerning behaviors. The worst one is when she gets overtired or overstimulated, she attacks whoever's around by jumping on them and biting their arms/tearing their clothes. She doesn't break the skin or anything but it HURTS and...

Hi all, I just wanted a quick bit of advice but first I’ll give the back story. On Sunday night we were walking our 6 month standard poodle when a VERY loud firework went off very close by. It petrified her and she was very spooked and anxious all night. She kept staring at our ceiling lights...

Hey all, I have a 5 month old standard poodle puppy, she is beautiful and has been really good for many weeks now. We’ve made good progress with her training and are attending weekly sessions but we are struggling with her biting. We tend to find she will be absolutely fine and then she gets a...

Hi all, I did a similar post to this a few weeks back but some time has passed now and I’m hoping for some more advice. We’ve had our Standard Poodle Puppy for nearly two weeks and she is barking and crying very loudly every time she is alone. I’ve tried to make the crate a lovely place for her...
