I have never trained a Poodle before.
I have trained mostly Rottweilers and Boxers.
They are HUGELY forgiving of mistakes.
So, I am a little nervous.
I love pitties.
They are totally cool, calm, unflappable lovebugs, but they can be very hardheaded, and if you don't earn their respect they will simply ignore you.
Love you, but ignore you.
