by Lisa A Collins

Of all the different issues that are of importance when it comes to raising a Poodle, Poodle training is definitely one of the most important. It is essential that every Poodle owner begin training their dog while they are still young, when still a puppy. This way they will be taught how to behave and will grow up to be a well-mannered and properly behaved adult dog.

This is particularly important for people who are planning on introducing the dog to a home with children, so that there will not be a worry of the dog harming the children, either accidentally or on purpose. There are a few issues in particular that need to be addressed here, including housetraining, whining puppy, pet travel and puppy chewing. All of these are going to be incredibly important things to teach to a Poodle puppy, or any type of dog for that matter.

When it comes to Poodle training one of the most important lessons is going to be to prevent them from chewing and destroying the home. There are a few things that a Poodle owner will want to do here, including providing the dog with a variety of toys, teaching them to play with these toys and not other things around the home, and praising the puppy every time they are playing with these toys.

If they are ever caught with a shoe or piece of clothing in their mouth for instance, rather than reprimanding them it is best to simply replace the item with one of their toys. Even if this happens a few times, they will end up learning over time.

It is important to praise or reward the dog every time they are seen playing with their own toys and not anything else. Rather than just verbally praising the dog, make sure to pat them on the head so that they definitely understand that they are being good and behaving properly. If ever the dog is found with something tin their mouth that should not be there, like a shoe or piece of clothing for instance, rather than yelling at them just distract it away from them and replace it with one of their toys.

On the topic of Poodle potty training it is important to understand that although it may be trying, it will be well worth it once the dog is trained. If paper training your Poodle be sure to leave the paper in the same place all the time or take your puppy outdoors to the place you have chosen. Be diligent and take your puppy every couple of hours to the proper place to go. Reward good behavior and completely clean up any accidents right after they happen to discourage reuse of the wrong place. Consistency and patience will make Poodle potty training successful a breeze.

Show your puppy where you want it to go, whether outside or on a paper, and take it there every couple of hours. Reward good behavior and clean up any accidents immediately to prevent recurrence. Be consistent and patient to be successful with Poodle potty training.

Although training a Poodle can definitely take some time and get to be quite trying, the good news is that Poodles are typically easier to train than most other breeds of dog. Apart from being one of the most intelligent breeds of dog out there, they are also very good-natured and mellow, and make perfect pets.
