Welcome to The Yappy Hour, powered by Yappily, the podcast for dog lovers who want to better understand and connect with their canine companions. I’m your host, Nathan Dunleavy, and today we’re talking all things poodle behaviour and training.
In this episode, Nathan is joined by Shelina Duke, founder of Go With The Flo and creator of The Poodle Training Space. Shelina shares poodle-specific training insights, including barking, calmness, enrichment, grooming, handling, and why poodles need a different approach than many other “smart” breeds.
In this episode we cover:
- Poodle personality: sensitive, intelligent, emotionally tuned-in
- Why repetition backfires for many poodles
- Barking, overstimulation, and “always on” behaviour
- FOMO vs separation anxiety
- Calm enrichment vs high-arousal “puzzle toys”
- Toy vs miniature vs standard poodles
- Grooming handling, coat changes, and early prep
- The poodle myth that keeps causing training problems
