How to potty train Bichon Frize
How to toilet train a Bichon Frize? First, choose a place as a place for the Bichon Frize to urinate, spread some newspapers or diapers, or buy a dog toilet for use; pay attention to observe, and when the Bichon Frize shows signs of defecation, guide it to Designate a place; give appropriate rewards during training, such as verbal praise or small snacks.

First, designated defecation places

Before taking a Bichon Frize puppy home, you can first find a place in the house for the dog to go to the toilet. For example: it can be placed in the corner of the corridor, bathroom, or balcony, and then place a box covered with old newspapers (or covered with plastic sheeting). This place is a designated place for Bichon Frize puppies to go to the toilet.

At the same time, daily dog ​​owners should also pay attention to observation. Once they find that the Bichon Frize is restless next to the owner, or makes noises from its mouth, the owner will wonder if the Bichon Frize needs to urinate. At this time, the Bichon Frize should be removed. Take the bear puppies to a designated place that has been prepared in advance, and let the Bichon Frize puppies go to the toilet at the designated place.

The Bichon Frize puppy will definitely not adapt to it at first, and may even lose his temper, but it doesn’t matter. You must stick to this location. It is best to be far away from the dog’s eating or den. As time goes by, the Bichon Frize puppy will slowly get better. got used to.

Second, don’t beat or scold

During toilet training, you should pay more attention to encouraging the Bichon Frize puppy and reduce the behavior of scolding the Bichon Frize puppy. If the puppy does not do the right thing, or poops all over the floor in the living room or bedroom, do not beat or scold the little Bichon easily, otherwise the dog will think that urinating and defecating is a "wrong thing", and will only dare to sneak around when the owner is not paying attention. It will be troublesome to train the baby in the future.

So when the little Bichon pulls in the right place, the owner should give a lot of encouragement! If he pulls in the wrong place, he only needs to say to the dog in a slightly serious tone (with the volume raised): "No!", and then hug the dog immediately. Just defecate in the right place.

Third, additional skills

Bichons are actually very easy to train, especially puppies before 3 months old. As long as you are patient during the first few days, you can usually succeed. If it still fails, you can try the following two points:

1. At the beginning, you can use a newspaper or a damp cloth to dip a little bit of the Bichon Frize's urine, or wipe the puppy's butt, and then put it in a fixed place. The puppy will find a smelly place for convenience. .

2. The excrement in the wrong place must be cleaned immediately, and the place must be completely deodorized (bleach + deodorant spray). In order to prevent the Bichon Frize puppy from smelling the previous smell and pooping in the same place next time, it will be difficult to correct it in the future.
