I bought my toy poodle about 10 months ago, when she was tiny, she just turned a year old May, I've heard and read in books that poodles are supposed to be very calm and very good dogs, but my poodle is WILD! She is so hyper all the time and bouncing around 24/7. I know she is still young, but is this normal??

every poodle has its on personality some can be so wild and others mild and timid..i have had different types of poodles so that can be very normal..the teacup poodle my daughter has gets all wild with her and bosses her around but with others can be shy and timid but at times pretends he is the biggest and toughest of all dogs..just keep a watch on him and make sure u have checked his sugars cause they can sick easily if overly excercised at young age...http://www.poodlepuppies.ca/ thats a site with lots of poodle info for u to have

Yep...the smaller the breed, the more hyper it is! Standard size poodles are a little calmer, but the toy breed can have the personality of a terrier.
Make sure she's getting enough excercise and play time...a tired dog is a well-behaved dog!

I've heard that dogs are pretty hyper for about the first year or two of their life. I'm going through the same thing with my 1 year old beagle.

It's normal. She's young. It's called being a puppy. If you want to know the personality before commiting to an animal, next time rescue a dog a little older.

Yes, it is very normal. She is still just a puppy. you will see this fade wiht age. If you want to calm her down, take her for a walk every day before dinner, or play a game of tug of war. It will take some of the energie out of her and you can be free to lay together for a while.

poodles are very smart dogs & need to learn a lot of things to keep them occupied. they are a very active breed of dog. they were originally a hunting dog so they need to be doing something most of the time. the more you teach her the calmer she will get.also if you are not going to use her for breeding it would be a good idea to have her spayed, that will usually calm them a bit.

i dont know where you read poodles are calm, any poodle ive
met has been little balls of fluffy hyperactivity!
im sure shes just being a puppy. is she fixed? that usually
helps a little.
im sure by age two or three, there will be a big difference

You will just have to wait until she gets out of "puppyhood". I've found around the age of 2-2 1/2 they start to settle down. Good luck.
