So far he has been everything I hoped for.
I have an amazing groomer who also happens to be one of the top Pom breeders in the country, and she is the president of the training club I am not involved in.
Starting with puppy obedience.
I have trained a lot of dogs, but never in a formal class setting.
When I lost my Capone, I decided to get the dog I always dreamed of.
My husband was skeptical, but he didn't realize how versatile poodles are.
He is in love too.
Made me promise not to dye his fur. lol
My Staffie mix was like that. So brilliant she made me look good lol.
I started her training the first day home - (she was ten weeks) - I thought her learning some commands would make her feel more confident - that she understood the rules.
I am not exaggerating when I tell you first day, 5 minutes, she had Sit locked down.
Second day, Down.
Third day, Stay.
By the FOURTH DAY HOME, I could put her in a Sit/Stay and LEAVE THE ROOM.
She wouldn't move a muscle until I came back and released her.
Told my husband - don't tell anyone she's a dog genius - let them think I am a genius dog trainer.
