Training
I begin potty training my puppies at 3 to 3 and a half weeks or as soon as they are mobile. Contrary to what most people believe having a clean "den" is natural to wolves and by keeping their sleep and play areas very clean I am teaching them that their are specific potty areas. This makes puppies much more keen to housebreaking once they are in their forever homes.
Poodles are highly inteligent dogs who seek to please their owner making them very easily trained. That being said these are puppies and a certain amount of training against bad habits should be expected.
I begin getting the puppies accustomed to wearing collars beginning at one week old with a piece of flannel around their neck. I then upgrade them to collars and leash training as soon as their necks are large enough to fit, at about 4-5 weeks.
I prepare the puppies for future grooming and the noises and sensations involved starting at 4 weeks. I start grooming them multiple times a week starting with just turning on the clippers and hairdryer near them so that they grow used to the sound and ending with a full groom.
Feeding
I recommend as soon as your puppy is toilet trained that you allow your puppy to free feed. This allows your puppy not to get over excited and eating to quickly or gulping down water. Having food available at all times allows the puppy to get enough for their growing body and prevents over eating and gobbling down food which can cause bloat. Do not worry about over feeding your puppy. Puppies are very high energy and grow quickly. Having food in the bowl at all times is a good thing.
When your new puppy first gets home he/she may not eat too much the first few days because of the nerves and stress associated with a new home with new surroundings. Don't worry they will begin eating soon. If this is a problem I advise giving them can food mixed in with the food that they come with to prevent changing their food to quickly and causing an upset stomach but at the same time offering them a good treat to entice them to relax and eat. Some upset stomach is completely normal the first few weeks due to the change in diet and surroundings of your puppy.
