I'm curious if you all have noticed anything poodles do that is, generally speaking, different from other dogs — where conventional "dog wisdom" may not really apply?
I've noticed for example that they often say to redirect puppies chewing on inappropriate objects with a chew toy. Well, my pup quickly realized that chewing on said objects = toy and attention from me, and started using it for that purpose haha.
A trainer later told me that highly intelligent breeds like poodles tend to pick up on things like this and it just made me wonder — what else do our sweet smart poodles do that is different, or don't follow the conventional patterns/behaviors of most other dogs?
