This should be performed by a vet before the puppies are three days old. The tail is either cut quickly and sharply with curved surgical scissors or a tight rubber band is wrapped around the tail to make it fall off after a few days.

How do you dock your baby toy poodles tails?

I cut my doberman's tail when she was a few weeks old, but you should do it between 4 and 7 days for the least trauma and no anesthetic to be necessary. My rotweiller got his cut then, and it was quite easy. Treatment time was short, and he was happy as ever.


How short should cut off a pooodle tail?

Depends on the breed of Poodle you have. There are Standard, Miniature, etc. Poodles. You should take your poodle in to your Veterinarian before it is 5 days old to have its tail docked. Your Vet will know the correct length to dock it at. If you have to have it docked after that age, then it will be a regular surgery. Should only be done by a Veterinarian and the Vet will know the correct length.


Are poodles friendly to 9 year olds?

In my experience with poodles they are friendly with anyone who treats them with respect, care and love. However, if that 9-year old (or any age person) harms or hurts the poodle in any way, he will find that the poodle will keep his distance from that person forever.


Can you dock a tail if the dog is two weeks old?

Yes, 3 weeks is too old to dock a puppy's tail. Normally this procedure is done between the ages of 2-5 days old. You can have it done at 3 weeks but now it will be a major surgery where the puppy will have to be sedated and the tail docked and sutures put in. It will cost a lot more too.

The typical age for a Dog to have it's tail docked is under ten days old.
