The Bichon Frise is a small, mostly white dog with short legs, a longer body, and a curved tail which goes over the dog’s back. People who meet the Bichon for the first time instantly are heads over heels over the beauty of the breed, and adeptness at Bichon Frise training and also their affectionate and star-performer-personalities.

And since the pup is father to the dog, so to speak, lets take up temperament issues that could focus on the pup. Some pups grow with “soft” dispositions right from the start, which do not make surefire prospects for show trials. Instead, what happens most of the time is that these albeit handsome pups are placed in pet homes, where they can be given {Bichon Frise training. And how lucky these homes are!~

But we all know how the adult dog’s maturity begins in the inquisitive and learning-ready puppy, so let’s focus on puppy temperament issues. To the trainer’s eye, some pups have the makings of a good show trial dog, while others will make good pets. So the average bichon pup can look forward to either a pet home or a show home, where they can be given Bichon Frise training.}

But matters start getting complicated when inconsiderate handling and raising undermine good genes. So we see contradictions like pups that grow up into biters, or shy dogs, or puppy mill bichons that turn out wonderful.

One valuable point in all this is that there are various degrees of shyness that snowball into still varied types of temperament issues. The mildly shy Bichon will not do good in the show ring, but it is sure to make a good house pet. A shy dog may however develop aggression, and even biting tendencies, without intervention. This issue is called fear aggression, and these dogs are prone to separation anxiety, a problem that is also characterized by insecurity.

Fear aggression can be avoided by giving the puppy training in a puppy kindergarten class (a sort of obedience training for puppies). These classes ought to use positive reinforcement training methods. In turn, the supporting ideas for this training is that the puppy needs to be praised, given positive attention whenever there is good behavior, given a good behavior-inducing treat now and then, and punishment is always ruled out. Pups also get a lot from socialization, which means to simply expose the puppy to different enriching social situations, e.g. the park, or some mall.

If you think your puppy has always been well-behaved, but starts displaying signs of biting and other behavior, you need to check the way others relate with the puppy. Teasing is one prime suspect for causing bad temperament. Other actions that can trigger the bad manners are: roughhouse play, tug of war games, taking toys away from the dog while it plays with them. In other words, take a look at the current factors in the puppy’s life that has led to an angry dog, when the fact is that the dog breed calls for a “cheerful attitude.”

If your puppy is displaying aggressive behavior and you don’t think you can solve them, get the dog into {Bichon training, or an obedience class that employs positive reinforcement strategies. This is the best way for you to help the dog behave better, and for you to get back control.~

If your dog is showing aggression and you don’t think there is a solution anytime soon, bring the dog into Bichon training, or an obedience class and use positive reinforcement strategies. You may not know it, but this is perhaps the best way to help the dog to bring its potential, and for you as well to get back control.}
