[nagdu] Question about poodle guides

[Chantel]

Hi,

I had a poodle from Pilot, and one of the things I had to contend with was 
his sniffing.

Motley, my poodle, was focused on his work when he wasn't sniffing or 
pulling hard.

Poodles do have a hard pull, but you can usually get them to slow down using 
a chest pad.

As far as eating goes, unless your poodle has alergies, they will eat 
whatever food you get for them.

Switch their food slowly when you get home with them.

Hope that helps,

Chantel.
