Basically the title. My six month old mini poodle is so sweet but he’s super attached to only me. He’s not content if I leave the room even if my husband and children are there, he will cry the baby gate entire time. He also will not let anyone but me walk him. This is making me increasingly exhausted as we’re not able to share the responsibility, and my husband is frustrated and feels embarrassed the pup won’t walk for him or settle.

Any advice?

I have an 18 week old Mini poodle/ wheaten terrier puppy. He’s crazy smart, and so so good except that he seems to be incredibly attached to ONLY me. I’m worried it’s developing into some form of separation anxiety. We are a four person household, my husband two young children and myself. If I am even out of sight for a second he loses his mind, even if everyone else is still in the room. He doesn’t care if my husband or kids leave.

He’s gotten good about when we leave in the morning for school/work, I leave him with a frozen kong or pupsicle which he works on and then goes to nap. I have a camera so I know he he’s okay, it just seems to be when I’m home and I try to do literally anything away from him 🤪 please advise.

I have a 13 week old mini poodle and he is WILD. We’re doing all the things, enforcing naps, giving him stimulating activities, exercising and he still is the worst land shark I’ve ever seen. All of my socks have holes. Sometimes he gets the zoomies so bad he’ll lunge and growl/snap at my legs (how do you know if this isn’t normal anymore?). I’m just looking for a little reassurance I guess 🙃

I also had a question about being on leash. When we see another dog/ person he gets so excited he jumps and pulls. What would be the best way to teach him to focus on me instead? I don’t want him to think it’s okay to jump at people and animals. I can’t seem to get him to focus on me when he’s excited or determined.

I have done so much reading and in a lot of ways feel like I’m doing so well with him, but it other ways I feel like the worst puppy owner.

What are you guys doing at home and with what products to maintain your poodles coat between groomings?
