決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

Challenge「ベルクロ」因子と分離不安

プードルは非常に社交的です。彼らはあなたと一緒にいたいだけでなく、一緒にいる*必要*があります。この犬種は独立性において非常に低いスコアを示します。1日8時間以上インタラクションなしで一人にされると、激しい分離不安を発症する傾向があり、絶え間ない吠え声、自傷行為（足をなめる/噛む）、破壊として現れます。一日中家が空になる家庭には適しません。

Challenge精神的疲労の必要性

退屈なプードルは破壊的なプードルです。彼らの知性（全犬種中2位）は、散歩だけでなく「頭脳労働」が必要であることを意味します。高度な服従訓練、パズルトイ、アジリティなどの仕事がなければ、家具を分解したり戸棚を開けたりという独自のゲームを発明するでしょう。

Challenge警戒吠え

理由なく「やかましく」はありませんが、プードルは鋭い番犬です。配達トラック、リスや通行人をすべて知らせます。早期に管理されない場合、アパート環境では迷惑になることがあります。
