Smaller breed of dogs can be hard to train nonetheless, there’s nothing bichon frise training cannot do. When proper training approaches are used, you will soon rejoice for finally getting your dog used to urinating or defecating in the spot you chose.

The “cute” factor is one of the reasons this breed is deemed difficult to housebreak. Owners sometimes permit his pet to get away from his mistakes because this white ball of fur is simply too adorable when he displays that puppy-eye look after he “unintentionally” peed in the living room. Moreover, this breed is too small and fragile to go out in the backyard wherein he can get his white fur soiled. If the owner has this mindset, then he has higher possibility of having a small disobedient dog that poops and pees anywhere he wanted.

Although bichon frises are deemed difficult to housebreak, there are plenty of owners who are actually successful in training their furry friends on where and when to urinate. All it takes is drive in carrying out the correct bichon frise training strategy.

First is to specify a location, be it in your house or out in the yard, to serve as your pet’s toilet and then take him there during toilet breaks. If you have a young puppy, you may have to take him at his toilet at least every hour since puppies cannot restrain their bladder at this age. With adult dog, you have to watch out for clues that he needs to go however if you’re not available to supervise, the ideal times to take him to his toilet include; after getting out of bed in the morning, after eating or drinking, after exercising and training, when nervous or excited and before going to bed at night. If he goes, compensate him with treat and time to play outside so that he’ll associate the act of urinating or defecating with treat and fun. Through this habit, your precious pet will eventually find out that toilet break means pleasure and will become used to it as time passes.

Remember to always use a happy and excited yet firm tone of voice when rewarding him for every good behavior. Tasty treats like small bits of hotdog and cheese are excellent motivators however you can also utilize other treats your pet loves. When you are done rewarding your furry friend, avoid taking him back inside instantly for it might cause him to believe that urinating or defecating means the end of fun thus he’s more likely to delay his business in order to have more time outside. One more advice owners ought to bear in mind is to avoid using the potty area as a play area.

Bichon frise training may be considered difficult however like training other dog breeds, you ought to be really patient and consistent in order to get desirable results.
