What would you think if there was a way that you could instantly learn to communicate with your new puppy from Toy Poodle Love, and to teach them good behavior before they're even old enough to understand the word."No"? Of course you agree that there should never be a need to be physical to teach your new puppy obedience. But how should you correct your puppy when saying "No!" in your best stern voice has no effect whatsoever?
Toy poodle puppies are adorable, fun loving, and mischievous. They romp and play energetically with no thoughts or concerns for personal safety as they have not yet learned that danger exists. With a whole new world to explore, new sights, smells and sounds at every turn, your toy poodle puppy will delight in every new experience and seem to be drawn, much to your dismay, to the most dangerous objects and actions possible.
They will chew or take into their mouth every new object they encounter. Your toy poodle will dash off at full speed at any time, given the opportunity to experience liberty. They will repeat these impulsive actions again and again, unless corrected, or experience teaches them that danger exists in their actions. No one wants their toy poodle puppy to learn about danger through experience!
Many new toy poodle owners are dismayed to find that their efforts to gently correct their puppy with the word "No!", spoken in a stern voice, has no effect on their new companion. Why, it's as if the puppy doesn't even know the word "No!" to begin with. Well, that's exactly the truth. It takes time for your toy poodle puppy to distinguish the human word "No" and even more time for him to learn to understand its intention to halt or correct his behavior.
I would like to teach you a simple technique to communicate with your poodle puppy, to help him learn to understand the meaning of the word "No", while allowing you the ability to instantly stop your puppy's actions if dangerous or naughty.
If you watch a mother toy poodle carefully you'll find that she almost never uses physical force to correct her pups when they behave in ways inappropriate, such as attempting to nurse after being weaned, batting her about the face in play, or attempting to eat from her feeding bowl. Poodle mother knows that these behaviors can be dangerous to a puppy if directed towards other adult dogs. To halt their actions she will make a short, sharp guttural sound which is distinct and is neither a growl nor bark, but a sound specific to correcting puppies.
Like magic, the puppy will instinctively halt whatever it is doing without the puppy even needing to understand that its actions were dangerous or socially inappropriate. This learning can come later! You can use exactly the same method the mother of your toy poodle puppy used to train her babies to behave.
First you must learn to make a special mother sound. Think of when we say "Unh Unh Unh" to a disobedient child while waving our finger back and forth. Take that same sound "Unh" but move it to the far back of your throat and add a very short cough or bark at the end. The correct sound is short, sharp guttural and instant, with a growling quality to it as you would expect from a dog. Practice this a bit.
Now try it with your puppy. The next time your puppy nips at your fingers, tugs at your clothing or chews on your furniture, try using this special sound. If you are doing it correctly, your puppy should instantly stop his behavior and look at you. Immediately say "No!" This begins the training of helping your puppy to understand that your magical poodle mother sound and the word "no" mean the same thing. Then comes the best part, praise, and stroke your puppy for his obedience and correct action in response to your magic sound.
Try this! Please tell me how it works for you. Combining the magic correction sound with praise and touching in response to your puppy's correct behavior will begin a lifelong journey of partnership together. In no time flat your puppy will understand that the word "No" means the opportunity to please you by stopping what he is doing and that praise is sure to follow his obedience. What a wonderful first step in a new relationship together with your toy poodle puppy!
