Eclair – Service Dog Training

November 2024 Update

Eclair is a brilliant girl. She has yet to be matched with a person, but she has plenty to learn in the meantime. She is learning how to be predictable and confident in all types of environments. We are very interested in seeing how this beautiful girl evolves and in which area of service work she’ll eventually land a job.

One of the great things about Eclair is that she’s food-motivated (maybe her name was a hint she likes dessert). Not all poodles are food-motivated, but the ones that are, can take to training a little quicker or easier. If you aren’t familiar, being “food-motivated” means that the dog will work for food, trying to figure out what you’re asking so they can indulge in the sweet treat at the end.

For dogs that aren’t food motivated, you can try other things like playing tug-of-war or added affection. Each dog has their own secret passcode to rewards.

“Eclair is extremely smart! She picks up very quickly!”

“Best Place to Get a Standard Poodle, Hands Down!”

I could not be happier to be a poodle mom for my Dahlia, who was bred at Tamarack Standard Poodles and cared for by the owner, Laura. As a breeder of poodles, Laura was so nice and approachable, and clearly an expert on this incredible breed.

When I went to meet Dahlia and (naturally) to take her home immediately, I was pleasantly surprised to have a comprehensive history on her parents printed out and in a binder for me to take with me. The care shown for the puppies was evident and it was clear to me that the first weeks of my baby’s life were pleasant, peaceful, and harmonious.

Laura’s communication throughout the process was filled with quick and precise correspondence and she was so patient with me as I asked all my questions. She only places her puppies in the best homes and has created lifelong relationships with many of her clients.

As for my beautiful and caring Dahlia… her coat is immaculate, her disposition is calm and curious, and her affection for me and my child as well as for other children, family members and dogs is a perfect combination of joy, love and playful spirit. She is smart (maybe too smart for her own good!) and respectful and learned very quickly how to be the best girl she can be.

I enthusiastically recommend Laura & Tamarack Standard Poodles to anyone looking to get the best poodle in the world. They simply are the best!
