I know this isn’t what you planned… What you wanted life with your poodle to look like. Of course you love them! But that doesn’t mean they’re anywhere near perfect. And it’s draining, dealing with their antics. Whilst others laugh, you’re over the laughing. The cuteness has passed, and it’s just annoying now! But 2025 is the year this changes! I’m saying ‘enough’ for you! You deserve better. And so does your poodle. I’m teaching members how to do this already! Which means 6 days into January, and they’re having wins already!

You can lock in at the current price before it doubles in 3 days! . . . #poodle #poodlelove #poodlegram #toypoodle #minipoodle #standardpoodle #poodletraining #poodlelife #dogtraining #2025 #newyearnewdog #newyear

Why less is more when it comes to training…

When we train our poodles, we often fixate on taking them into the exact places they struggle. Asking them to control themselves, when they couldn’t last time The thing is, they can’t. Because they haven’t learnt the things they need to be successful in that place. They couldn’t sit stay, for example, before hand because they didn’t have the skills needed to keep calm and ignore. Rupert’s mum has made the most of the Christmas bin collections and with a 2 week break from them, has focused on growing calmness and playing games that teach Rupert that triggers are none of his business. Because of this, when the bin collections finally happened, he was able to stay on the sofa, of his own choosing, and not, as his mum put it ‘go ballistic!’ What a clever boy 👏👏

Are you bored of doing the same old training? And you need a way to keep your poodle busy, to enrich their life. Here’s your answer. Level up the training! And if you’re not sure how or want the guidance and support of a trainer to do this. Then comment SCHOOL and I’ll share the exact thing that will do this for you.

You spend ages training your poodle. And in class they are perfect. But outside of class, it’s like they’ve never done any training. Here’s one of the reasons why this may be. There are different levels of environment, which are different for each poodle. What one may find hard, another may find easy. For example, Arthur has no problem ignoring other dogs, whereas Albert likes to say hello. So being in a busy park and working on something new isn’t a good idea for Albert. I need to build up the distractions. So from training, take your training to lower level places first and build it up. Like if you found this useful and will give it a go. #poodle #podlee #poodlegram #poodlelife #toypoodle #minipoodle #standardpoodle

So you want to be the most amazing thing out there amongst a world of distractions. So that your poodle WANTS to come to you. Wants to hang out with you. I’ve got you… here’s 3 other ways you can get this 1. Chase. No, not you chasing them. Get your poodle chasing you. They love it! And it gets them wanting to come in close! 2. Toys. Stop the ball throwing, it just puts the value away from you, which means they won’t come near you. Why would they when the ball goes all the way out there? Grab some tight toys instead. Not the usual tug toys, ones on a longer lead, ones with fake or real rabbit fur. Ones that get them drooling at the thought of playing. And play with them! Because when you do, you get all the value, so they’ll keep coming closer. 3. When you first teach all of this, don’t be afraid to put your poodle on a long line and limit how far they can go away. Because each time they play keep-a-way, is another rehearsal in the bank, so they’re more likely to do it again and again and again. But make sure it’s attached to a harness and not a collar to prevent neck damage. Give these a go and let me know how you got on. If you’d like a fool proof way to get a super recall, where your poodle just spins and races back to you, you need to join the training school. The training membership is currently closed but you can join the wait list! DM to get on it before the price increase on 1st January . . . #poodle #poodlevariety #poodlepuppy #poodletraining #poodlelife #toypoodle #minipoodle #standardpoodle #recall

Have you ever noticed this? You’ve perfected your training in the class situation or at home and you’re excited to go to a busier environment and practise. ❤️ like if this sounds familiar. But when you get there, your poodle is unfocused. Can’t listen. Is ignoring you. Pulling. Wanting to run off. And it drives you MAD! I know you know. Well, here’s why… the training relies on you cueing it and your poodle listening. But in harder situations, they can’t listen. So it all goes wrong. 💬 Tell me if you’ve been there! So here’s what to do instead… don’t focus on behaviours like a sit and a stay. Teach your poodle to think for themselves and make their own choices, good choices. That’s how you get real life training wins. How do you do this? Ditch the behaviours and start playing training games.

The next stage of evolution in The Poodle Training School is here… Training your poodle can be extremely lonely. Even when you have a trainer, you still feel on your own. And not all of the family get it. When it falls on your shoulders, it can be a heavy burden to carry. But not any more! Making sure my members are okay and take time for themselves has always been important to me. And recently, I’ve been wondering how that can have more focus. After all, if we don’t look after ourselves, we can’t look after our poodles (the way we truly want to) So Happy Hour has been born. And no, it doesn’t mean you have to drink tonnes of cocktails (unless you want to), but this is an opportunity to focus on your wellbeing and feel happy! Because when we feel happier, so does everyone around us, including our poodle! If you’re reading this and you already know you need Happy Hour, DM me to join the waitlist and be the first to know when the Training School next opens. . . #poodle #poodlesofinstagram #PoodleTraining #poodleexpert #miniaturepoodle #poodlelove #poodlelife #poodletoy #standardpoodle #dogtrainingtips #poodletrainingschool #livetraining #LiveTraining #poodlelover #wellbeing #youfirst

Get my loose lead walking strategy… Because I know having your poodle take YOU for a walk was not the dream. Neither was having your shoulder dragged out of its socket. And to the extent of falling over… I don’t even want to go there! ❤️ like if this is you, and most importantly comment ‘ENOUGH’ to find out how to change this once and for all. You see, in the training school, there are 2 whole sessions dedicated to transforming loose lead walking with your poodle. And my members are having such success with the exact same strategy. One is enjoying 4 mile long walks to the beach in Florida, another is celebrating a pull free stroll to the park. Which ever one you will be, you deserve this too! The training school wait list is ready for you to join. Comment ENOUGH and let’s commit to changing this! . . #poodle #poodlelove #poodlepuppy #poodlelife #toypoodle #minipoodle #standardpoodle #dogtrainingtips #looseleadwalking
