Oh - good - another poodle owner (in the past). Yes, this poodle stays excited - which I guess is good since he is still pretty young. Someone told my Dad that when the poodle gets to be 7,8 months - he goes through a "terrible teen" stage and gets actually worse....and that some people give up on poodles during that phase. (Something my Dad didn't want to hear). That's another reason I thought if we could get some good training going for the poodle maybe it wouldn't be such a "terrible teen".....even if that's the truth - which I have no idea about.
NEVER give up on a Poodle. They are the smartest, most loyal, and most lovable dogs...
