* Hold a treat in front of your dog's nose and say "speak" or "bark".
* When your dog barks, give them the treat and praise them.
* Repeat this exercise several times a day until your dog can reliably bark on command.
2. Ignore your poodle when they bark without being prompted. This will help them learn that barking will not get them what they want. When your poodle starts barking, simply turn your back on them and ignore them. Do not make eye contact, talk to them, or pet them. If your poodle persists in barking, you can leave the room.
3. Redirect your poodle's attention when they start to bark. If you see your poodle starting to bark at someone, immediately redirect their attention to something else, such as a toy or a treat. You can also call them to come to you or ask them to sit.
4. Socialize your poodle. One of the best ways to stop your poodle from barking at people is to socialize them early on. This will help them learn how to interact with people in a positive way. You can socialize your poodle by taking them to dog parks, pet stores, and other places where they will meet new people.
5. Consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist. If you are having difficulty stopping your poodle from barking, you may want to consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist. They can help you identify the cause of your dog's barking and develop a plan to stop it.
