When it comes to dog breeds, poodles often take the top notch in obedience and agility shows, as the result of proper toy poodle training that most of them undergo. They are exceptionally bright, sensitive, active, and peaceful with other pets. But oftentimes due to stress, they become sick in their stomachs.

If you have a toy poodle, it will be a smart move if you let him undergo the basic toy poodle training. Poodles are eager to learn and have the ability to predict what their owners want them to do.

Here are some helpful toy poodle training tips that will work on your poodle:

• Poodles are very sensitive dogs so you must be prepared for the training, too. They study their owners' facial expression and movements and make incredible attention to every detail. For example, if you seem upset or angry, your pet will become anxious and worried, too.

Avoid training him if you are in a bad mood. Keep the toy poodle training cheerful, gentle, and optimistic as much as possible. Your toy poodle will respond eagerly to positive reinforcement training and praise for good behavior.

• Poodles are the easiest of all toy breeds to house train. Provide him with the basic crate-training method like being in the crate at all times unless he is outside relieving herself, eating, or is actively being played by you or other members of the family.

• Get your toy poodle involved in obedience classes and, if possible, agility work like obstacle courses. Poodles have tremendous appetite for learning difficult, complex tricks like balancing and 'thinking' trick. They love welcoming challenges and it is also a great way to bond with your pet during the toy poodle training.

• Try to keep your home cool and with low stress level. If there is regular fighting, angry and emotional people, or lots of stress, your toy poodle will sense it and will become ill or very upset himself. Poodles are calm dogs who need a calm environment to flourish in. Too much stress can create a neurotic and unhappy dog with problematic behavior.

So if you are planning to adopt a toy poodle, make sure that you know the basic facts about the breed plus the preparation in giving him a toy poodle training before taking the plunge. An untrained toy poodle can create havoc in your house and garden.
