Poodles: Easy To Train

Article Title: Poodles: Easy To Train
Author: Lisa B Collins

Some people think of Poodles as not being real dogs, though for
anyone that has owned them, they are more than real – they are
surreal. You would certainly end up being amazed by the sheer
intelligence of the breed, which is almost humanesque. They are
also very good learners that are given to having a high degree
of creativity and they are also not averse to being the star of
the show. However, it would be wrong to think of every Poodle as
possessing the same personality because the personality will
vary much and the personality may often reflect as well as
compliment the personality of their owner.

Also, Poodles are the most pampered and thus can easily be
spoiled by their owners though that does not take away from
their impressive presence as well as aura of superiority, which
can only be attributed to their most impressive history. So,
don't be surprised when your Poodle prances about elegantly or
holds himself proudly and shows what a noble creature he really
is.

The Poodle does however require being intensively groomed and
because unlike other dogs, he won't shed too much hair, it adds
to the impression that the Poodle is not very dog-like at all.
However, the thing that strikes you the most about the Poodle
personality is his amazing intelligence which is something that
the breed has always been famous for. In addition, Poodles are
also very versatile and they adapt very well to different
situations and environments and can serve many a role that in
turn depends on its current situation.

Standard Poodles, however, require a bit more exercising than
do the toy and miniature versions and the reason for this is
their bigger size. However, Poodles are also quite mellow and do
not jump about too much nor do they act too nervous and they
have an affinity for people as well as children. Also, you will
not face any trouble in training your Poodle though he does not
like being caged, and is, in fact quite a free-bird if truth be
told.

You can expect to be pleasantly surprised to learn that despite
their small size Poodles are really quite strong physically and
thus should be kept leashed to prevent any accidents from taking
place. However, because of their remarkable intelligence they
can read what their owners want from them and thus will act
accordingly. Having been originally bred as hunting dogs,
Poodles are good swimmers and are also very fond of water and
thus love their baths and won't mind being given a bath
regularly.

Another feature about the breed is that a Poodle has hair that
grows much like human hair grows and it continues growing,
unlike other dogs whose hair stops growing when they have
reached a certain length. Also, Poodles love to be taken for
rides in a car and will jump at any opportunity to be on the
road. He is also very easily trained and is a friendly soul that
has a sweet disposition as well.
