The best way to deal with a small poodle who has a big barking problem is simple. This is the advice I found on the P.E.T.A. website: 1.Make sure any breakable or valuable items are out of dog range. 2.Go to the nearest aspca & adopt a ferocious doberman pincher. 3.Make sure your roomate is gone for the evening. 4.Introduce the poodle to his new roomate, mr. doberman 5.Immediately leave the apartment and go back in when the poodle's barking stops. 6.Clean poodle blood with bleach, return doberman.
