Attach a piece of masking tape to the rotating shaft of the motor, creating a small flag. This will allow you to easily tell which direction the shaft is turning. Temporarily attach the motor to a battery to make sure everything is operational. If the motor has wires already attached, connect the white wire to the positive end of the battery and the black wire to the negative end.  If the motor does not turn, it's possible that your battery is not sufficiently powerful to run the motor. Try a battery with a higher voltage. Similarly, if the motor is turning faster than you want it to, try a lower voltage. Note that a battery which is too powerful can cause your motor coils to melt. It's a good idea to check the rating on your motor before you start hooking up batteries. Disconnect the wires from the battery and reattach them on the opposite ends of the battery (i.e. white to negative, black to positive). Reversing the polarity should cause the motor shaft to turn in the opposite direction. If the motor does not turn in the opposite direction, it may be that the motor you have selected is not suitable. While most DC motors are easily reversible, some are not. In part 2, you'll be installing a double pole, double throw (DPDT) switch that will allow you to change the direction of the motor. These switches can be purchased inexpensively at many electronics or hobby stores. Before proceeding any further, check the rating on your switch to make sure it can handle the power of the battery you'll be using. A switch which is not rated highly enough may melt as a result of having too much electricity sent through it.

As with other forms of training, it can be easy to train your poodle puppy to walk on a leash. First, he will need to get used to the leash and collar. Place the collar on him and let him wear it while he is eating and doing other activities around the house. He may try to wriggle it off, but do not take it off him until he has settled down.  Use a plain, flat collar. It should be snug around his neck (snug enough to stick 1 or 2 fingers between his fur and the collar), but not tight. Use a non-extendable leash that is 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) long.  To acclimate your puppy to the leash, attach the leash to the collar and let him walk around like that inside your home. Keep a close eye on him so he doesn’t entangle himself in the leash. When your poodle puppy is comfortable with the leash and collar, take him on short walks inside your home. Hold the leash loosely and give him lots of verbal praise during the walk. If he begins to pull, stop immediately—if you continue walking, he will think it’s okay for him to pull and strain on the leash.  When he behaves well on the leash inside, start taking him on short walks outside. Gradually increase the lengths of the walks as your puppy becomes more comfortable with walking on the leash. When you begin to leash train your poodle, it is okay for him to walk slightly in front of you. As the training progresses, though, he should learn how to walk beside you. The ‘heel’ command instructs your poodle how to do this. With your poodle standing on your left side, hold a squeaky toy or treat in your right hand. Allow him to see the toy, say ‘heel,’ and begin walking forward. Give him a reward (the toy or a treat) when he can walk beside you for 20 to 30 seconds.
