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.

Proper Poodle training is essential in order to make sure that the puppy understands what is right and what is wrong and will grow up and be a polite and well mannered adult dog. Training can be difficult with any breed of dog but especially so with Poodles because they tend to be very stubborn and dominant dogs. This means that training them even a single thing will often take much longer than with other dogs. Once well trained however these dogs are incredibly polite and well behaved.

Dogs are also always more comfortable with their owners, of course, and so they will feel safer when their owner is involved in the training process. If Poodles are not trained properly while they are young they may end up having bad behavioral problems, such as barking incessantly and chewing destructively.

For the stay command the owner needs to instead put their hand out flat in front of the dog, with the palm facing upwards. Then they need to tell the dog to “Stay!” and step in front of them at the same time.

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.

It is also very important to make sure that there are no distractions around while training the dog, such as toys and food, because then the dog will not be able to focus and this will make training them a great deal more difficult. Owners should also remember that there are many wonderful professional dog trainers out there who will be able to help out here and make sure that the dog is properly trained.
