There are four key points to training a Bichon Frise: First, repeatedly use verbal commands and hand gestures to guide the dog to perform the actions. Second, train for 15 minutes every day without frequent interruptions. Third, provide treats and use a clear system of rewards and punishments. Fourth, play games with the dog after training to help it relax and relieve fatigue.
1. Shout commands
The owner should use both verbal commands and hand gestures during training. Commands should ideally be 1-3 words, and gestures should also be brief. Training a Bichon Frise involves repeatedly using verbal commands and hand gestures to reinforce the training and help it form a memory.
2. Be patient
Training a Bichon Frise requires daily consistency, and owners need to be patient and avoid frequent interruptions. Each training session should not be too long, ideally around fifteen minutes.
3. Give rewards
Clear rewards and punishments are essential for training Bichon Frises. Whenever a Bichon Frise performs an action according to a command, the owner should immediately pet it and reward it with a treat. If the Bichon Frise misbehaves, it should not be rewarded; this is the punishment.
4. Play games
Bichon Frises are intelligent dogs. Once they understand that doing something will be rewarded, they will remember it well. After training your Bichon Frise each day, you can play some games with it to relax, so it will be enthusiastic about learning again the next day.
