Socialize them from the day they come home to you. Have them explore the outside world, let the home be filled with music or noise or something that is not completely quiet so they get accustomed to different noises without reacting. Introduce them to people. Have guests come in your home from your puppy's very early age so they get used to people. Leash training and make sure to train them to be neutral in their environment, as they are hunting dogs. They will want to pull a lot to chase after birds, bikes and joggers. Massage their bodies, paws, face so they get accustomed to being touched when grooming. They are highly intelligent, observant and needs a lot of stimulation. If you fail to do the above things, you may end up with an anxious poodle who barks a lot at the slightest noise, anxious in traffic, strangers, pulling on the leash and hunting birds and people on walks. They are very delicate, so socialize them properly as they can get anxiously triggered when exposed to bad experiences. So expose expose expose while young.

The separation anxiety is all part of training, in my experience. If you train them from a young age to be independent while you're away for long periods of time, they don't develop separation anxiety.

Our dog died two years ago and my parents are still dealing with the loss. They know that I want a dog really badly. I’ve made a list of dogs that might be suitable for our family and toy poodles are one of them. I made a presentation on why I want a dog and showed them that I am responsible and ready to have a dog. So hopefully my parents say yes and we get the perfect dog 💗😁🦋

I’ve had many poodles and have a miniature now. I can vouch, they are super sensitive and tend to have anxiety more than other breeds but this makes them ultra loyal and loving toward their human parent(s)! All my poodles have been super loving and focused on me. Barking, yes, but not like some like other smaller yippy breeds.

Molly is adorable. I also have a little toy poodle named Gracie and like Molly, Gracie runs circles in the back courtyard (sometimes she runs so fast her back legs our run her front legs!) She is the 2nd toy poodle I’ve had and Collette for 18 years. Both little wonderful girls weighed 6 lbs and have been the best pets anyone could ever have! Thank you for sharing Molly!

Mine is a teacup one and he’s not anxious at all. Very social but extremely cheeky and active.

Apart from the grooming, the cons all come down to training and what you expose your puppy to. Molly is super cute.

You put intelligence as a “pro” but I would also add that as a 6th “con”. Due to them being intelligent, they need intellectual stimulation, or they get depressed, bored and frustrated. If an owner can not spend the time and effort to provide this, they are better off getting a dog that needs less intellectual stimulation. Many people see “intelligence” as simply something good, but that is not true. Intelligence must be matched to what the owner can provide, just like with energy levels. For example, most people understand that a Siberian husky is a bad match lazy couch potato. Similarly, a bulldog is a bad match for somebody who wants to run and walk 3 hours a day with their dog. The same considerations must be made for intelligence.

Thank you! Nice to know some issues are found in most poodles.

Just got a toy poodle 3 days ago, sweetest creature alive

You spread so much love.. What a wonder... Thank you 💖

Soooo in love with toy poodles 😍🥰❤

Adorable Molly ❤️

Well balanced. Now I want one! 😊

Love , love, love toy poodles

You are right on point with everything. I rescued a poodles she was 5 years old now she is age I couldn't imagine life without her. She barks at everything Alief flies by the window someone will come to the door she's the best guard dog I ever had. I haven't left the house in 3 years I have MS she's with me all the times. One time I left her with my son he said to me don't ever leave me alone with her again she cried as how because my husband and I left and don't forget they're smart but they're also very stubborn

The pros definitely outweigh the cons!

Adorable ❤️ Thanks 👍

I adore my boy. Can't imagine life without him. Am home with Covid now and he seems to know I'm under the weather and has hardly left my side (except for walks with Dad). Only problem we have is separation anxiety. Bing came to us just before covid locked us down and so he was always with us. Luckily I can take him to work and he has play dates now with his friends.

Ty it was very helpful

Moly is such a beauty 🥰❤️ Hugs from Honey ( grey ) toy poodle 🍯

Thank you so much this video was so helpful defenetly getting a toy poodle

Best breed ever I love mine so much he is my world

Thank you for your video! Lovely Molly! My 18 year old Border Collie passed away & there is no way I wanted to be alone. So along came Lennie. He is almost 7 months old now & we are best buddies! He is so kindhearted and funny! He knows the name of all his toys- panda bear is his favourite 😊 I have PTSD & Lennie is my perfect therapy! I can’t imagine my life ever without him!

Never abandon your pet.😊

My parents miniature poodle is going on 17 years old (totally healthy still does the stairs and swims in the pool sometimes) and lives with my parents, three cats, three little brothers and my two sisters and he is totally fine and loves to play so I wouldn't let that deter anyone! Generally it's true but every dog is different!

I have a toy poodle. He’s amazing.

the best DOG I've ever had.

Such a sweet poodle - what is that cut the groomers give her - its perfect-she does look like a little bear 🥰

I'm going to pick up my girl on 11/11 when she's ready. I can't wait to add another toy poodle, my current toy poodle girl is 5 years old, she will teach the young pup a lot of things.

We have three toys. A beautiful 3 yr old black and white 8 lb male parti. A apricot 2 1/2 year old male 6 1/2 lbs., who is also gorgeous and sweet. Then our newest addition who just turned one. She is the smallest at 5 lbs and is red. She is a real little girl and so sweet and loving. She blended right in with the boys. She is very quick to mix things up with the middle one. They all love each other so much which just adds to the enjoyment. I actually had two poodles as child and just adored them too. A silver and a black. Unfortunately, as a teen my family dissolved and I lost them. I actually wound up homeless. Long story but I rebounded and actually achieved the AMERICAN DREAM as my life moved on 😊. So my wife and I now have 7 adult children and 5 grandchildren. We had all 7 in the first 11 yrs of our marriage. No twins! Please don't tell anyone but my wife and I still like each other! What a concept at 39 years into the marriage. My 30 yr old daughter (#5) and my son-in-law are having their first baby in June. They have two female red toy poodles. Her youngest one 1 1/2 yrs old is the daughter of her older one and our my middle one is the proud father. They visit most weekends so all 5 have a blast here. Thank God we have a very large home although finding them can be a challenge at times. We love them so much. They are my disconnect from my very demanding business. Let me just say they are living large in absolute luxury. They are all sleeping on Poppa as I write this. Life is good, because of God's faithfulness. He has richly blessed us, and allows us to bless others!

good video, my toy poodle puppy comes home in 1 week~

I love my little Coco muffin

Could you please give us the link to get the brush you showed?

Want! 😭

👍🏾🍷Thanks 4 sharing

Poodles have long legs but they are so thin and delicate. Please careful when they jump. Mine had broken leg and had a surgery , now recovering. Before had in injure when he jumped too and we really take good care of him. Don’t let them jump from sofa’s etc.

One time when I saw someone say I had a toy poodle when I was little I actually thought it was a “poodle but a toy” 🤣🤣🤣

Oh I love this kind of pet Love from Bhutan 🇧🇹

Amazing video! One question, is Molly considered a red or apricot toy poodle? Thank you! ❤️

Where did u get Molly?? I’m currently trying to get an apricot toy poodle and I dk who to trust or where to begin.

I adopted a 1 year old toy poodle (possibly mixed somehow with a doodle?)..but seems 99% poodle imo. Anyway, she has three legs, but does great. She needs a little help though. Does anyone have issues with their toy poodle going to the bathroom in the house? Do they tend to not be able to hold it very long? She's a bit skittish, but she is lovable.

i love my cute teddy bear

The issue I'm having, is finding where to get one!!

I love my gracy. Poodles are the best. Mine is a toy.

I didn't realize how intelligent my white male poodle is. Ollie very sweet n at 6weeks potty trained to me that very fast, they very goofy n playful

I looooove my my sweet toy poodle. His name is Bubba and he's around 12ish My was my great grandmother originally Then my grandmother Then my grandfather And now me He's lost all three of his last owners. He's my everything

Wow!!! My daughter have a Jet Black Boy Toy Poodle. It is so cute and Adorable to me, but sooo small. He is just 1 month old and weight 1 pound. One thing is that my daughter has to work. She doesn't have no one to watch him, I am afraid he will suffer from Separation Anxiety. That is what I don't like about that.

Hi bro how do u leave your poodle at home when u off to work?

Do you use leash when it was a puppy let say 8 weeks old?

May I ask? Do they smell?

I have a toy that i adore. Unfortunately he has needed 2 orthopedic surgeries.is this common with toys?

Lovely, thank you ! How tall is she please ?

How does a toy poodle's coat feel when they are full grown. Is is soft or course ?

They don’t have fur, they have hair, that’s why they don’t shed.

Please come see our korea poodles~^^

Where did you get her?

so are they a toy like figures or are they a real dog.

Question I work 8 hour shifts at Walmart is 8 hours too long for a toy poodle to be left alone

How long to take to train?

toy poodle is a perfect dog, except for separation anxiety

Hay thanks for the video. I am actually a little worried about the barking? I want to get a toy or miniature poodle but the walls in my house are thin. Do they really bark a lot and is this sth you can work on ? 🙂

Getting another dog helps with separation anxiety. No dog likes to be alone.

how many hours do you think a toy poodle could stay alone, without being sad?

I’m looking to get one and I already have a pitbull she’s very trained and good but young would anyone recommend me not getting him ?

my dog poodle his name wong wong, born in year 2019 Nov --- Died 1-04-2024😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

How much is this dog

I'm hesitant to get a purebred dog, period. They're too specialized for some things and are horribly balanced, especially coupled with all the weird health problems.

I have a white toy and a mini they are paradise really.need a love of hugging and kissing.wuiet dogs clean .amazing.smarter than any other dog..border collies are smarter they say..no poodles actually talk.yes my first dog said hello clearly so my mini says it now clearly.my toy tries but not clear yet... 12 yrs old now but people think they are 6 mos.

How big is this poodle? Height and weight?

I thought toy poodles don't get bigger than 6 pounds? Is Molly a toy or miniature poodle, she looks just like my miniature and he's 9 pounds...I'm just saying 🤷🏾‍♀️

I was thinking about getting a toy poodle but I’m having second thoughts about getting one because they say they Suffer with respiratory infection is that with all poodles and is that true can you please let me know thank you

X some say toy and some say teacup she’s 4 pounds so is?

Do not get a poodle if you cannot afford an extra few hundred dollars a month. End of story. If you are time poor, you need to hire a dog walker. You need to buy good food and vitamins, vet appointments, grooming, toys, it all adds up. So yeah toy poodles are definitely a dog for someone who can dedicate a decent amount of $

I have not seen any thing that would make me

1:04 to the point.

She’s not a toy poodle hahahaha she’s huge!!!

Poodles have HAIR, not FUR!!

You are handsome

There are 2 things i hate. People who are intollerent of other peoples culture.... and.....

Any dog is not a toy!

Boring. Applies to all small breeds.
