Poodles and Young Children
from: The Complete DogPoodles are wonderful family pets and they absolutely love children! Poodles and children make excellent companions. A well-bred Poodle has a great disposition which makes him a trustworthy playmate, and his sense of humor makes him a child's favorite entertainer.
That's not to say, however, that all Poodles will be accepting of children. There are those, as the result of careless breeding, that inherit less-than-sunny dispositions. Proper socialization and adequate training will help to determine how accustomed a Poodle is to children. Health status, as well, can affect the Poodles attitude toward kids. Older dogs, for example, can be grumpy due to an illness. In fact, most older dogs get this way, regardless of the breed.
Also consider the Poodle size when it comes to your dog's safety. A diminutive Toy Poodle is much more delicate than the Miniature and Standard, thus less able to withstand rough and tumble antics that are inevitable with children.
If you have kids, a Poodle is a usually a great choice. However, be prepared to supervise all Poodle-child interactions, which is the key to any successful dog-child relationship: Adults must supervise to ensure the safety of both child and dog.
How much supervision required will vary depending on how old the child is and how old and well socialized the Poodle is. Babies and toddlers need constant supervision when areound pets, of course. Never leave toddlers alone with animals (or another child). As the child grows and shows maturity, supervision may be decreased. Though babies and young children should never be alone with the Poodle, older children (ages seven and up) can, for example, play in the yard with the Poodle. Parents need not be right in the midst of the game, but should stay close by.
Along with supervision, parents should provide ongoing instruction for children on how to treat a pet kindly. Kids aren't born knowing how to pet nicely -- they must be taught. The best way to do that is for parents to model the desired behavior. Show the child how to pet with an open hand and not grab.
Talk to your child as you demonstrate, explaining what you're doing and why. Keep your lessons short and simple. Kids will be kids, though, and will forget your instructions. That's where constant supervision comes in. You can observe how the child interacts with your Poodle and correct as needed.
