Poodles are gregarious, intelligent creatures that may be left alone for up to two hours every month of age. If Poodles are left alone and unoccupied for an excessive amount of time during the day, they may develop loneliness. In order to prevent feelings of loneliness from developing or lasting for extended periods of time, it is crucial that Poodle owners create an atmosphere where the dog will be stimulated when they have some free time to themselves and give it lots of attention during shared times.
