There are just a few things that you need to check for to make sure that the adjustment period for the puppy goes smoothly.

You will want to start training your puppy right away in order to save things such as your carpet or your furniture. Make a list of things you would like your new Poodle puppy to learn and then figure out which lesson on your list is the most important.

How To Select A Healthy Poodle Puppy  

Don't you love puppies? You know there's something especially adorable about a poodle puppy. Like most purebred dogs, poodles have a few medical conditions to watch out for, so be sure to take your poodle puppy to the vet for a complete health examination as soon as you pick it up from the breeder.

Some people, when picking out a Poodle puppy, select the puppy that is the strongest, most aggressive dog in the litter (the bully) while others are drawn to the runt of the litter (the underdog). But whatever Poodle personality you prefer, choose a dog that walks and trots briskly, without limping. Don't choose a dog that has a discharge around the eyes.

How you choose the right poodle puppy is a decision that must be based on your head, not your heart. Decide what factors are important to you before you expose yourself to a litter of adorable poodle puppies, all begging you to take them home.
A few potential health problems might befall a Poodle puppy. A reputable breeder will be able to give you the history of all these conditions in your puppy's parents and the known bloodlines of the puppy. Toy and Miniature Poodles may have one of these conditions: urolithiasis, trichiasis, cryptorchidism, patella subluxation, and leg and calve perthes. Standard Poodles may have one of these conditions: sebaceous adenitis, Addison's disease, gastric torsion and cancer. Toy, Miniature and Standard poodles may have conditions such as hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts and other eye disorders, hypothyroidism, Von Willebrand's disease, Cushing's disease mammary tumors, seizures, and epilepsy.

Most of these problems are treatable or curable if they are caught early, before the condition progresses too far. That's why you should take your Poodle puppy to the veterinarian for regular health exams. Buying your Poodle puppy from a breeder with a good reputation will reduce the likelihood of your puppy having one or more of these disorders.
Poodle puppies need a lot of grooming. If you haven't owned a Poodle puppy before, you may not realize how much care their curly coats need. Poodle pups need to be bathed every four weeks, clipped every four to six weeks, and brushed every single day. Don't get a Poodle if you can't commit to giving the dog this kind of care.

Puppies can have queasy stomachs so don't make any sudden changes to your Poodle puppy's diet. Get a sample from the breeder of the puppy food the breeder has been feeding your Poodle puppy. Consult your veterinarian about food your puppy should eat as it develops into a grown dog.

A Poodle puppy isn't for everyone. Puppies require a lot of your time and energy, and a big investment of time in training. Poodle puppy care costs more during the first year or two than any other time in a dog's life. If a puppy might be too much for you to handle, consider getting a Poodle rescue dog. Homeless purebred Poodles - Toys, Miniatures and Standards - are just waiting to be matched with someone who loves Poodles.

The best way to find healthy Poodle puppies is to go to a reputable breeder. When considering how to choose the right Poodle puppy, think about whether a puppy is right for you. You might prefer an older rescue dog.

What You Need To Know About Raising Poodle Pups  

If you have never had a dog before, don't start with a puppy. Please get an adult, to ease you into the transition of life with dogs. But if you are ready for a Poodle pup, learn all the Poodle puppy care you can before you bring your new best friend home. Make sure everyone in the house knows the house rules and commands to use around the puppy. This will make training a lot less confusing.

Decide in advance if your Poodle pup will be allowed into certain rooms, allowed on the furniture or where the potty area should be. Poodles learn very quickly, but all learn at their own rate. Remember, the World's Smartest Dog is currently a Toy Poodle (and the previous one was also a Toy Poodle). Getting your Poodle pup to look at you on command is a great training feat. When your dog pays attention to you, training is a lot easier.
When raising your Poodle pup, you need to be clear, consistent and calm. Raising a puppy is much like raising a small child who speaks a foreign language. Expect your Poodle pup to make mistakes. Never hit your Poodle pup, as that will only teach him to be scared of you, and biting often results. Try to use one word or two word commands at first. Have every body in the home use the same commands to avoid confusing the puppy.

You only need to keep training sessions a few minutes at a time several times a day. Poodle puppy care rests on training, but Poodle pups have limited attention spans. A good training session is right before you put the food bowl down. Make then sit before they can eat. Usually lifting the bowl directly over their heads makes them instinctively sit as they keep their eyes on the food.
You can also have a calmer, more obedient and more focused Poodle pup if you get him neutered (or her spayed). This also makes for a healthier dog that looks to you for things to do, rather than wandering off to pick fights over mating rights. Neutering also lessens your pet insurance premiums and reduces the chances of getting certain cancers. This keeps your puppy a puppy even when grown, as they will always see you as their parents.

Keep positive reinforcement in mind rather than training with force. Training with physical abuse will raise a fearful dog that is liable to bite at the least provocation. Your goal is to make your Poodle want to behave. Be patient. Make sure everyone in the home is using the same commands. Keep the commands to one or two words at first, and be generous with praise. Remember, every dog learns at his or her own pace.

Poodle puppies can be found at most rescue shelters and make great pets. Poodle puppy care instructions are easy to learn and follow.
