Poodle as a Guard Dog

Poodles are beautiful friendly and smart dogs. They are aware of strangers entering their territory, however they shy away from them. In terms of protection, the Poodle was not bred to be a protective dog. When your Poodle decides to bark at a stranger you may wish to reward him with a small treat for warning you.
