Tips on Raising and Training Poodles

On this page I'll share information I've gained from experience with my own pets.

Tip 1: Reward and Praise

Training a dog or other animal isn't that different from raising a child: you have to communicate, and you have to offer lots of praise. It doesn't hurt to always be ready with a small piece of your pet's favorite treat, either.

Tip 2: Be Consistant

Adult dogs and puppies alike learn more quickly the "rules" if each routine is consistant and each punishment is consistant also. For example use the same phrase when you are showing disapproval, like the word "No" or "Bad Dog." VERY IMPORTANT: Never hit a dog for doing something wrong, the dog will most likely misinterpret the action.

Here I'll list the tips to make this page easier to scan.
