A domestic dog, if threatened, has a few options. The first (if the threat is from another dog) is submission. Submissive behaviour deescalates the situation and causes the aggressor to lose interest, having established its dominance. Running away is also an option.

Secondly it can meet aggression with aggression. It will bark, growl, stand in a way to make it look as large and threatening as possible, in an attempt to intimidate the aggressor.

If it comes to a fight, a poodle has its teeth, and also a loose skin, which means that even if an attacker is able to bite hold of it at the back of the neck, it is still able to move its head in order to bite the attacker.
