Bichon Frise: Early potty training is recommended

The Bichon Frise is a descendant of the Barbet or Water Spaniel, much like his cousin the Caniche, and in the beginning he was known as Barbichon, which was later shortened to Bichon. In addition, there are four different categories of the Bichon, which include the Bichon Bolognais, the Bichon Maltais and the Bichon Tenerife as well as the Bichon Havanais, and all of these categories came out of the Mediterranean region.

As everyone knows, bringing home a Bichon Frise will surely fill you with a lot of joy and it will also prove to be very exciting as well. Once the excitement has worn off it is time to consider things such as training and more particularly Bichon Frise potty training. After all, you don't want your new addition to the home to treat your entire home as his bathroom. So the sooner you get it to learn where to eliminate and ease himself the better it will be for everyone.

The Bichon Frise will respond well to Bichon Frise training and it is believed that the most effective method of imparting Bichon Frise potty training is to use the crate training method. Remember that on average, a puppy (including the Bichon Frise puppy) can only hold his bladder for one hour for each month of his age, and it is also not a good idea to get him to hold his bladder for too long. Thus, proper Bichon Frise potty training requires taking the puppy or dog outside where he can do his business and once completed, should be rewarded to enforce the habit and then returned to his kennel.

So, before you get stuck with Bichon Frise potty training, you need to consider some points that will help you plan as well as get the most out of the Bichon Frise training routines. However, despite your best efforts and different potty training methods, be prepared to put up with accidents which will occur every once in a while and which will test your resolve and patience. Still, you should have planned ahead to include accidents happening every once in a while and thus, you will be able to withstand the temptation to give up or use harsh means to enforce the training regime.

There is no denying the fact that Bichon Frise potty training is something that will require you to be patient and it will also take time before your Bichon Frise training methods yield results. Along the way there are bound to be accidents, which you should take in your stride and persevere with compassion rather than anger, and cajole your Bichon Frise rather than punish him.

Next, you should pick a spot for your Bichon Frise where he should eliminate and then take him there each time you feel he wants to potty as it will teach him where to go when he gets the urge to relieve himself.

There are a number of methods that you can choose in order to give your pet the right Bichon Frise potty training and among them is to crate train your Bichon Frise. You need to also try and understand if your Bichon Frise is confused about where to potty he may have many housebreaking accidents and also determine whether in excitement he uses the carpet as a place to pee.

Once you can identify when as well as why he is having accidents, you can then use appropriate Bichon Frise potty training methods to resolve the problems.
