I am about to buy a standard size poodle. He was actually born this morning. 1-18-08. I am so excited. I have two minature poodles already and they are very smart. My oldest minature poodle we have had since a puppy; he is a white poodle. My 4 yr old female parti colored poodle, we adopted just six months ago. She, Daisy, was never housetrained or anything. She would run off if we took her outside without a leash. Daisy has come a long way. She is now in a loving house. I honestly think she knows that and has come as far as she has because of that. She was apparently abused and neglected at her previous home. With our love and her love of people she has become a wonderful companion. I am a large breed dog lover and my fiance is a poodle lover so it only made since to me to compromise and buy a standard poodle. I have never tried the clicker training method. I am going to try the clicker/treat training method with our soon-to-be standard poodle. I have been reading every book available and just purshased a puppy clicker training kit. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Well I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Best Regards,
Lisa Peterson
