Been working on the “catch” part of this trick for a while now! This is one of MANY Rocco tricks! We just applied for his intermediate trick dog title 👏🏼. We love how smart and motivated this boy is. #poodlelove #poodle #poodlestudservice #poodlestudcharlotte #phantompoodle
This is Chance (our toy poodle boy!) meeting his new bff 😆. She cried when he left… it was true love. But in all seriousness, this has always been our goal with breeding… to produce dogs that are “bombproof” with all humans, which can be a challenge with the tinier breeds (often known for being touch-sensitive / reactive). Socialization is part of the equation, but genetics matter, too- The only way to produce the temperament we want in our pups is to start with bombproof parents! We took Chance to a new house with multiple kids petting him and while we did supervise carefully, we weren’t concerned about how he might react in the slightest! He proved us right 💚. Side note: breeders who keep their dogs in kennels / with minimal socialization really don’t know how they’ll react in a lot of these scenarios! #poodlestudservicepoodlestud #toypoodlestud #studservice #poodlesofinstagram
Sound on to hear all the giggles ♥️! Rocco is such a fun dog to own. He’s brilliant and lives for training- it’s seriously his favorite thing to do. #poodlestudservice #phantompoodle #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #poodlestud
We are LOVING our newest boy 🥹. Chance’s temperament is exactly what we were dreaming of… he’s so calm, mellow and mild-mannered but still affectionate and loves meeting new people. We think he has excellent therapy dog potential… but first he has to master some basic obedience! We’ve started a little slow… it’s easy to neglect training him because he is naturally so good you almost forget about it 🤣 but we started to buckle down this week and of course he’s progressing beautifully.We plan to have him pass the CGC first in a couple of months. #toypoodle #miniaturepoodle #toypoodlestud #poodlestudservice #therapydogbreeder
No one can claim to be quite as happy as Ollie boy when released from a stay 😁. We love this boy and how happy he is just to be near his people! #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #therapydogsofinstagram #therapydog #poodlestud #moyenpoodlestud
We love this attentive boy! He’s smart, SO tolerant with the kids, and listens well. #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #poodlestud #traineddogsarehappydogs
Poodles are the BEST family dogs. Rocco is probably our kids’ favorite, mainly because he’s willing to do anything for a treat 😆 and he’s so unfazed by any unexpected touch, fast movement, etc. #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #poodlestud #traineddogsarehappydogs
We have so much fun with this boy (Rocco)! He has a high degree of trainability and is willing to try anything once for a treat 😅🥳. #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #therapydogintraining #poodlestud #poodlestudservice #traineddogsarehappydogs
Somebody turns 2 today 🥳He deserved every bit of that chicken jerky peanut butter cupcake 🧁 We love his focus and eye contact- such a trainable boy. #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #therapydogintraining #poodlestud #poodlestudservice #traineddogsarehappydogs
Oliver’s happy little tail 🥹Ollie boy is best known for his snuggles and just being a floppy, laidback boy - perfect for therapy work… but he’s got some brains in there, too! #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #therapydogsofinstagram #therapydog #poodlestud #moyenpoodlestud
We’ve been very busy and slow to post… but it doesn’t mean we’ve stopped working with our dogs 😉Rocco now has his first Trick Dog title (TKN) and that’s not our only exciting announcement… more to come! Oh and this isn’t his best trick (yet) - we are still in the early stages of teaching it, but this boy is so fun because he is so motivated and willing to try anything!#moyenpoodlesofinstagram #moyenpoodle #phantompoodle #poodlestudservice
We’ve been busy lately and slow to post! But the boys are really doing it 🥹. Oliver had his first official therapy dog visit at an addiction rehab center and was absolutely amazing. We heard a lot of stories about the pets these patients miss back at home and Ollie was happy to listen to them all ❤️. Rocco tagged along on an unofficial therapy dog visit with a couple of other dogs/puppies from our breeding program at a local high school. There were multiple classes including a class of kids with special needs so it was a crowded, loud environment with everything from wheel chairs to oxygen machines to interesting-smelling trash cans 😂. It was Rocco’s first experience with a situation like this. We were really curious to see how he would do… he’s a confident, friendly boy but is also VERY focused/devoted to his handler (i.e. a mama’s boy 😅) so we weren’t sure just how much he’d want to mingle with the crowd but he surprised us and was fabulous at saying hello to everyone. He acted like he had been doing it all his life! #poodle #poodlestud #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #phantompoodle #poodlestudservice
