In order to keep your naturally intelligent and playful poodle’s mind active, obedience training is essential. A poodle that needs to think and learn will not be bored and therefore will not try to combat boredom in destructive ways.
#1 Keeping a poodle’s coat beautiful and healthy requires a lot of maintenance.
Most poodle owners take their dogs to a professional groomer every three or six weeks.
#2 If you want to save the money for the groomer, you can also learn to do the grooming yourself, but it will take time and effort.
#3 Poodles have watery eyes that can soak the surrounding fur.
To limit this, gently wipe face daily with an alcohol-free pet wipe or washcloth soaked in warm water.
