A poodle, or any dog, if thinking of bolting, will give you a clue that they are disoriented and about to bolt by running a little ways then stopping, sometimes turning to look back, they will be standing in a very alert in a sort of stiffened position, almost as if on tippy toes, they'll be looking quickly side to side. It's that moment you should realize your poodle is probably going to bolt. Start recruiting help immediately if there are others around. You need; a leash, a runner to follow your dog should your dog go through with the bolt action, and you in your car to follow in case your runner wears out. If the area is fenced but there are open gates yell to those around you to please block the exits. Golden rule is to NEVER initiate a chase. If the poodle starts to bolt, give it moment before you start a chase but if you are going to loose sight of your poodle then you or someone will have no choice but to run like the wind to keep up. Fortunately with cell phones we have a better chance of tracking our runners while another gets a car for added speed and endurance.
