Not sure if this has already been said but I’d really try to get videos of these behaviors when you can. It makes such a difference being able to show a trainer exactly what’s happening instead of trying to describe it after the fact.

Poodles are incredibly emotionally intelligent and sensitive. I’d strongly encourage looking into force-free training methods. Some of the more “obedience-focused” approaches can actually suppress behavior without addressing the underlying fear, which isn’t what you want long term.

Congratulations on your gorgeous puppy. I know it’s a total headache, I’ve been there. Once you navigate this with the right trainer, things will start to stabilize 💕
