Communicating with your poodle

Poodle communicate is 5 ways it important to understand and use all five ways. We are talking about Poodles but this can be applied to any breed of dogs. Dogs read us as much as we read them. poodle are quite capable of interpreting the nature of what we are trying to say through our tone of voice the volume with which we speak. and the inflection in our words. poodles long history as a house dog companion makes him especially attuned to these voice nuances. dogs understand weather you are speaking to them in a happy sad or angry manner a long with being able to pick up the subtleties of how we are saying our words. poodles along with most dogs can learn hundreds of words and pick them out of sentences.Understand anything you have told them,particularly when you are scolding them. they appear to be tollally crushed. but on the other hand it amazing how dramatic they are when you scolding them.  I belielve that some poodles overreact to tone or volume of voice and disconnect with what the scolding was about. Poodles will hear and understand what you are saying farmore quickly if you use positive rewards based training. and more praise be fore treats.                          Remembering the way in which dogs commurciate with each other is through body language. it is important to undurstand and believe that some dogs are very visual learners. What that means to you is that you may find that,when you are training your puppy or adults will excel at learning hand signals. you will be able to link a hand signal with a behavior quite easily.the advantage of teaching your poodle basic commands using hand signals.there is benfits to teaching your poodle hand signals first is each sign is not confuse by noise or tone.2nd you will be able to command your poodle from distance, example if he explores away from you he will see a single when he cant hear it over crowd or noise.If you watch your poodle as you are talking to it its obvious that it has facial expressions. he will relax and tighten his eyes, shift ears positions open and close his mouth, ect. it's not just an  old saying that you can tell what your poodle is thinking by 'reading ' it facial expression; Poodles can recognize peoples facial expressions. they are visual learners, some will copy a human's smile. note they when you laugh at your dog it is encouraging them to preform that activities good or bad. Remember to smile when you are happy and pleased and look angry when using a "NO". will always get your point across. laughter is a happy body language, We know that dogs communicate by using their bodies. Greeting behaviors among domestic dogs are highly ritualized, making them recognizable by all size types breeds and even mixes of dogs. no matter where in the world they was raised. using your body to communicate your joy or displeasure can help your poodle to understand what you are communicating. If your body languages matches. what you are trying to communicate your poodle will find an easier time understanding your message. threatening body language should nerve be used its only create fear and distrust.so nkeep in mind your poodle will be watching you for body clues. The last scent the scent of urine on a ploe is a news report on  a another dog " male, intact,large breed, alpha of the block, or old friendly male or just looking for play mate. Poodles ability to detect smells tells him much more about you than you can even imagine. dogs can detect changes in our chemical makeup and are capable of smelling a seizure 30 minutes before it occurs and scenting out the early stages of serveral different type of cancer. It would be no surprise to many poodle onwers if it were determined that poodles could actually scent out our mood changes, which I believe Trigger can. He gets very clingy when I start to stress or I am up set or mad. Sometimes he knows before I do. and knows I need a hug. So though we can't purposefully communicate to our Poodles using scents the poodle may possibly have a greater understanding of our subconscious communications through the breed's incredible sense of smell. Finally Once I got started I constantly picked up and stole ideas and knowledge from wherever I could find it. I am happy to streal from friends and from people I don't even know. even books and call it my own as long as the joy of stealing and idea that culd help bond a poodle to its onwer, gives me know boundaries. trust me I am sure I have ready this or saw the information or took a class. but to find the original arther would be fruitile because I have applied this for over 40 plus years,
