AKC moyen poodle stud

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

A little Thanksgiving celebration from our breeding program as a whole (#redpawfarm) Oliver, Rocco, and Comet certainly make our “thankful for” video ten times over 🧡🧡🧡. #happythanksgivng #poodle #poodlestud #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #phantompoodle #poodlestudservice

We LOVE this boy’s temperament. Our goal with our moyen poodles has been to get the poise and steady nature of the standard poodle into a smaller package. Miniature poodles (and small dog breeds in general) aren’t known for being particularly touch tolerant so this is one trait we are always looking for in our parent dogs. Rocco is like the poster child for touch-tolerance 😂♥️. He is happy and completely non-reactive to any petting/grooming anywhere at anytime... not even a flinch of the paw! (We don’t promote annoying dogs while they are napping - this isn’t something we do all the time- just wanted to capture our stable-tempered boy in action… or rather specifically not-in-action 😉) #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #caninegoodcitizen #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #poodlestud #poodlestudservice

We’ve been working on this boy’s obedience… but sometimes we just do tricks for fun, too 🥳. Our little Mozart 🥹🤣! #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #therapydogintraining #poodlestud #poodlestudservice #traineddogsarehappydogs

Tractor Supply on a Saturday is a great location for distraction training! Rocco doesn’t know a “down-stay” yet - so at one point he moves into a sit position but stays in the same spot- and that’s okay for this point in training ;). We will tighten up on down-stays later on. For now we are just pleased he maintained his impulse-control as the kids jumped around in the stuffed animal bin… as stuffed toys are his kryptonite 😂💛. We are even prouder of how politely he greeted the TS employees… really thinking this boy has potential for both service and therapy work!#phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #therapydogintraining #poodlestud #poodlestudservice #traineddogsarehappydogs

This dog is so much fun 😉- he learns everything SO fast and is SO willing to do ANYTHING for a treat! #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #therapydogintraining #poodlestud #poodlestudservice #traineddogsarehappydogs

🥹🥹🥹We love this boy! Oliver passed his TDI (Therapy Dogs International) test on Saturday. Once we get all of the paperwork squared away, we are excited to start volunteering with him and letting him spread some of his love around. A lot of dogs could pass the obedience portion of the therapy dog test but it takes just the right balance of innate qualities to be a good therapy dog: a quiet confidence, the ability/desire to quickly connect and then settle with a new person, intuition, and a near-obsession with belly rubs… Oliver has them all! #moyenpoodle #therapydog #therapydogsofinstagram #poodlestud #poodlestudservice

We teach our dogs to heel … but we also give them breaks to sniff and explore (“free”). If you’re ever wondering if the command has really clicked just test it out in the dog food aisle 🤣. Rocco is amazingly focused and attentive on the leash 💙. #phantompoodle #phantompoodlestud #moyenpoodle #therapydogintraining #poodlestud #poodlestudservice #traineddogsarehappydogs

Good boy, Oliver!! This boy totally has the polite-greeting and roll-over-for-belly-rubs part of therapy work down pat, but he needs a little more work on being able to focus and follow commands with lots of distractions. #therapydog #therapypoodle #therapydogintraining #moyenpoodle #moyenpoodlesofinstagram #poodlestud

When your six-year-old human expresses sudden intense disappointment that out of all the complex tricks her dog knows, “roll-over” isn’t one of them 😂…. So we fixed that in about 2 minutes right before bedtime 😉 #cometthepoodle

We have posted this trick before but we wanted to show it again now that it’s been perfected 👌🏼. For a little while the difference between “on” versus “off” was a little fuzzy. But this guy’s work ethic is truly unmatched. He will keep at something, trying different things (sometimes whining quietly to himself 😂) until he figures it out. If he starts to seem tired or disengage, we end on an “easy trick” and let him stop … but typically he wants to keep going and going and we simply sit back and let him problem-solve until he gets it right! #cometthepoodle

Comet is such a good dad 😂. His puppies think he’s the best thing since mom’s nipples and he’s so patient with them! We love this boy’s stable, laidback temperament.
