Hi Poodle community,
I have been woefully lazy in training my now 8 month old male standard poodle, because frankly he is for the most part so well behaved and easy compared to my last dog. However, I do have some training challenges that I would love some advice on and general guidance. I think he is stubborn, I've never had a stubborn dog before, and when he's excited about things (for example another dog) I can't get his attention with treats for love or money.
Any tips on what poodles might defer to as high value to get through to him when he's in the zone? Any tips on what to do when he sits down and won't move because he doesn't want to do what I want him to do? (For example, if he wants to say hi to a dog he will sit down if I try to walk away and sometimes it's in the middle of the street, or he won't get in my car I've been having to lift him up, now he's just started sitting down so I can't lift him).
I'm sure I'll have may more questions but this is just a start!
Here is a glamour shot of my handsome boy to say thanks for your help in advance.
