How to Train a Puppy
The Challenge of Training Bichon Frises!
Knowing how to train a puppy is important for new Bichon Frise owners. Puppy Potty Training will probably be your most challenging task, and you need to handle Bichons with care…Bichon Frises, unlike many other dogs, can be very hard to potty train. In fact, Bichons are among the top 10 hardest to house train dogs! However, Bichon Frise dogs must be handled very gently. They are sensitive and very willing to please, so training a Bichon should never be done with force or undue strictness.

While it is true that they are very happy, cheerful little dogs, Bichons can also be willful or manipulative. If not trained properly, a Bichon Frise can end up being the Alpha dog (or dog in charge) of your household. That should be your place! And training your Bichon correctly will establish with your Bichon--that YOU are in charge!

As much fun as Bichon Frise puppies can be,
Bichons can be challenging to train.
