12 Interesting Things About Poodles You Didn't Know

#7 Trim the nails once or twice a month if your dog doesn’t wear them down naturally.

If you hear the claws clicking on the ground, then they are too long. Short, well-trimmed nails will keep paws in good condition and avoid scratching your legs as the poodle happily jumps up to greet you.

#8 Start getting your poodle used to being brushed and examined from a young age.

Frequently touch his paws - dogs are sensitive to paws - and check his mouth.

#9 Make grooming a positive experience, filled with praise and reward, and set the stage for light vet exams and other manipulations when the dog is an adult.
