Training your Bichon Frise with the Crate.
When it first comes home with you, present the crate to your dog.Select a comfortable crate with plenty of room.For this, you need a crate big enough for an adult-sized dog.Throw in some old towels to make it cozy.Wait for your dog to get over chewing before getting him anything more expensive.
The crate does your purpose well enough.You’d like to have your dog regard the crate as his private place in the house, just like you regard your room.Use the crate for pleant things only; never for punishing your dog.Sooner than later, your little furry friend will see the crate as a safe place to find comfort in.And when he comes around, that’s to your benefit.The crate prevents your Bichon from getting out of hand when you’re not around.
The Pot and Your Dog.
Generally smart and obedient breeds, your pet needs consistency and frequency.Because of their relatively small size, expect frequent trips outside when potty-training.Observe your pup keenly the first week.When he shows signs of needing to eliminate, take him outside to his designated potty area in the yard.Repeat your potty command while the dog is pooping and pat him for doing it.After some time your dog begins to associate the command with eliminating.When your pet poofs in the house accidentally, take him outside to the poof spot in the yard and be firm with your command.

The Bully Dog Syndrome.
When you’re out with your dog and another dog is in sight, he’s likely to be insecure.Too bad for small dogs, they betray their insecurity by howling and barking loudly, annoying the other dog.Left to his own defenses, your little bichon frise could be in touble with a huge pitbull.That’s a disturbing thought.So when you and your dog are out for a stroll, bear these in mind.
Hold your dog with a leash to maintain control.The leash keeps your dog in place.
Stay calm and confident especially when there are other dogs around.Your dog copies your behavior.If you stay cool, your dog would, too.That reassures your dog and renders bullying the other dog unnecessary.
Introduce your bichon to the other.Speak at a low voice while holding your dog at a non-threatening distance from the other dog.
