A Bichon Frise is a very intelligent dog that loves to perform tricks and socialize. These characteristics make it a perfect pet to train. Some common Bichon Frise behavior problems concern house breaking. However with proper training at an early age these dogs make wonderful pets for the family. Their gentle, playful and loving nature makes them ideal for families with children. They also enjoy human interaction and this will make training easier as it will appeal to them as a game as long as you keep it fun.
Obedience and agility training are some of the things that you should incorporate in Bichon Frise training early on. Not only will you and your family enjoy watching your dog perform but your dog will also enjoy performing. Tricks are a good way of keeping your dog stimulated and entertained. It is all part of the human interaction that the Bichon Frise enjoys so much.
All dogs chew things at one point of their life. Usually it is when they are puppies and their adult teeth are coming through. Being firm with your dog and reprimanding it when it chews furniture or clothes and providing good chew toys can easily solve this. However this aspect of Bichon Frise behavior problems can extend into adulthood. Bichon Frise dogs do not like being left alone for hours and can turn destructive by chewing your belongings out of boredom and anxiety.
Your dog will appreciate having this type of structure at home. This is because dogs are social creatures that crave the security that comes with living in a group. If you can establish that you are pack leader your dog will feel more secure and will feel much happier than if you tried to make your dog an equal.
The methods by which to correct Bichon Frise problem behaviors are fairly simple and involve a lot of common sense. Discouraging bad behavior immediately with a change in tone of voice every time that behavior occurs will eventually get across that you do not approve of such behavior.
Praise and treats are also the best way to reinforce good behavior. The key is to keep repeating commands such as sit, stay and paw. Your dog will not learn on the first try, it will take a few attempts.
Reward your dog for doing its business in the correct places with lots of praise and it will soon make the connection and be able to go in the proper place. Involve the whole family in the process. Your dog needs to be able to take commands from the whole family.
Even children can help with housebreaking and training. It can be something for the whole family to do together. The mistakes and successes of your dog will undoubtedly bring much joy to the family.
