Notes on how to train a poodle

When teaching a Poodle, you must consider a Poodle as a companion, loving, calling, petting, patting, walking the dog, playing.

When training Poodle dogs with basic commands, voice commands must be short, clear, and definitive to force the dog to follow the command.

Teach your Poodle not to be short-tempered, scold, hit, curse, scare the dog, not absorb the lesson.

It is recommended to teach the dog once a day (morning or afternoon). Every time you teach for about 25 minutes, you have to give the dog a break, too much teaching makes the dog tired, it will get bored and refuse to learn.

Praise and reward them when they do well, and if not, give them an appropriate punishment (the punishment should not be too harsh).

When teaching a Poodle, we have to force it to review all the old lessons, then move on to teaching new lessons. Learning to go back to school will help the dog remember the lesson more.
