A Guide To Poodle Training
Although Poodles absolutely make wonderful dogs, it is important that anyone who is considering getting a Poodle is aware of the Poodle training process and how it is often much more difficult than that with other breeds of dog. This is because Poodles tend to be very stubborn and dominant. They are also very forgetful which is why it is important to teach them things over and over again until it is burnt into their memory.
Poodles also tend to be quite stubborn and dominant, especially if they are not shown who is in charge of the home, and so this can also cause a damper in their training. It often takes a lot more time and effort to train a Poodle than another breed of dog, and any potential Poodle owner definitely needs to be aware of this before they go through and decide to get one of these dogs as a pet. It is important to start training the dog as early on as possible in order to get the best and most permanent results.
One of the first and easiest commands that should be taught in Poodle training is the sit-stay command. To teach this lesson the owner needs to have the leash and collar on their dog and in their hand, and tell the dog to "Sit!" while pushing their rump down and holding their head up. Do this a couple of times and the dog will learn.
Heel is another important command to teach the Poodle in Poodle training and to do this the owner needs to command them to "Heel!" while they are walking out with the foot closest to the dog. It is important for them to remember that if the dog's head or neck is not level with their leg then they need to jerk the dog into this position, otherwise they will never learn.
The heel command is also easy to teach and to begin the owner needs to tell them to "Heel!" while walking out with the foot closest to the dog. It is important to make sure that the dog's head is level at the legs while walking otherwise jerk the dog into this position. Poodles more than any other breed need to be taught things repetitively, so missing even a day of Poodle training can make them forget everything that they have already been taught.
One of the most important tips an owner needs to remember when it comes to Poodle training is to be repetitive. Most dogs are forgetful but the Poodle is especially so, and so more than ever it is important that the owner be consistent with their training to stave off future Poodle problem behaviors. Even by missing just a day of training can leave the dog confused and they may even forget everything that they have already learned.
Patience is a necessity here and really key when training not only a Poodle, but also any sort of dog. Owners need to remember to focus on a single command each session rather than trying to cram as many in as possible, so that the dog is not left confused and overwhelmed.
Praising and rewarding the dog is necessary to show them when they have done well, and it is important not only to verbally praise the dog but also physically, by patting them on the head for instance. This will make sure that they realize what they are and are not supposed to do and make them strive to continue doing well.
