 Whoever has that very well trained collie, I've seen your videos making youtube rounds so I'm hoping you're getting stuff for that.

 kneeling or squatting generally has the best results imo. Bending the worst.

 Do you have hay or something for insulation?

 I want to start filing them down. How do I start that or should I get a puppy so that there can be an example who knows it from birth?

We just got a cute af 1 year old poodle a few days ago. Some questions:

How to avoid separation anxiety, whining, and the like?

In regard to the above question, we have her sleeping in a doggy bed in our room. How do we stop her from waking us up at 6 am (when she typically eats in the morning)?

How do we help our dog behave around our two pet bunnies and around other animals?

Is there any reason to crate train if the dog is already potty trained?
1) google it, please don't leave me (book). Simply don't reward the whining. Come back when he's quiet, don't make your arrival a huge deal, high rewards when you leave.
2) routine, possibly crate. I free feed mine but the new 1 year old dog wakes me up at 6:30 every day. In a few months when I'm confident he won't piss if I stay in bed I'll push that back to 7.
3) Depends on dog/breed. I dunno about poodles, but my bassets I'll just let go and they'll smell their butt and try to play. A terrier would just kill them. Poodles have a prey drive I believe so it may be worthwhile finding a specialist.
4) crate training can help with 1, 2 and possibly 3. Dogs generally enjoy it if they don't have a negative association.
