An expert researcher and author of 15 books about dogs, she loves helping people choose, train, and care for their dogs. Dog training videos. Sometimes it's easier to train your puppy or adult dog when you can see the correct training techniques in action.
The problem is that most dog training videos on the internet are worthless, because they use the wrong training method. I recommend these dog training videos that are based on respect and leadership.

The three most common behavioral issues with the Bichon Frise are: Housebreaking. Bichons are usually difficult to housebreak. Separation anxiety. It took probably about two weeks to get her to do this but,she does it all the time now.
When I say go lie down she does. When I was doing my research on the Bichon breed, I did read that they are prone to be active dogs around the house and that they require lots of attention. Even as adults, I don't think Bichon's are calm, relaxed dogs. I think they tend to move about the house snooping around, playing and so forth as well as looking for attention or doing things that will attract your attention.
The good news though, is that Bichon's aren't supposed to be hyper dogs, like say Jack Russells, but I don't think they are known as being a "calm" breed either.
Also, my opinion is that like us, dogs can be born naturally calm, agressive, hyper, overactive and so forth. You might have a hyper, overactive Bichon who needs attention now -- or it could be problematic as he gets older. My one big concern is that you say Bo never slows down during the day. This is not normal -- Charlie is very sleepy, quiet and relaxed in the morning till around 4pm in the afternoon. At this time he takes lots of naps and they are usually quite long naps.
Dogs are supposed to be sleepy during the day! The crate suggestion is great and could be your solution. Dogs do get over stimulated and might be playing and running around not because they really want to do this, they in fact might want to sleep or rest, but the stimulus surrounding them makes them play or active.
Take for example you're not hungry -- but beside you is a nice Tim Horton's chocolate Danish. Or your tired but a couple of friends suddenly visit you. So definitely get your dog used to a crate during the day when you are home!! I just had another thought - In my research about bichons and also talking to our breeder; sometimes bichons want to be the alpha dog or leader of the pack.
It is important to establish who is "top dog" in your house, and that means you. There is a guy named Cesear Morales think that is his last name who has a great book out about dog training and he talks alot about how to do this - Cesear and I part company as he thinks some corporal punishment is O.
You can also look him up on the internet. I don't think he will make a negative association with his crate if you use it in this way - really I think puppies are somewhat like children and feel more secure if they know what to expect and who is in charge.
I always give Oliver a big hug and kiss when I crate him and tell him what a good puppy he is - and I never take him out of the crate if he is whining or crying. Just some more thoughts. Thank you so much for all your advice. I'm sorry to omit that Bo is calm in the mornings and naps but I truely believe that is cause I am on the internet in the morning.
I find that if I come in here and sit at the computer he will leave me alone and sleep. But once I step out of here off he goes wanting attention. I know he is just a puppy and full of energy and hope this will calm down some as he gets older but in the mean time I am probably more the problem. I am a care giver of my elderly mom and two months after getting Bo mom had to come live with us for a while and since then I had to move mom to a senior apartment which meant almost a year of cleaning out her home of 40 years what a job that has been.
Thankfully we just closed on her home and she is settled in her apartment. I'm mom's POA and have to do her bills, take her shopping, clean her apartment, take her to doctors ect I also babysit 2 days a week for my grandson of 3 months. He watches over him all the time and is so gentle with him. Its really sweet to see. Some breeds even reach a full frame within the first six months of life although it takes longer for the rest of the body to catch up.
How do you stop a puppy from jumping up and biting? Praise him and if he knows how ask him to sit. If he obeys, reach down to pet and praise him. Keep your praise calm. How many cups of food should I feed my puppy? Do Bichon Frise like to cuddle?
Perfect size. These pups are the quintessential lap dogs, and enjoy cuddling and sleeping close by. They are big enough to withstand more aggressive cuddling and kisses, but small enough to pick them up when needed. Do Bichon Frise sleep a lot? Bichon Frises have a lower energy level than other dogs.
Bichon Frises like sleeping so they do sleep a lot. They're not the most active dog breed. Can Bichon Frise be left alone? This is also the stage where puppies begin to use ranking in their group structure, so they start socializing even more because they want to fit in. Puppies may experience another fear phase that lasts about a month and seems to come from nowhere.
Again, this is a perfectly normal part of puppy development and is nothing to be alarmed about. Your pooch is now a lot bigger in size than when you first got them and they have a good sense of the family routine. However, your precious pooch is still a puppy! They will still have a decent amount of energy at this stage of their lives.
They need 1 or 2 walks every day. It is also still crucial that you continue to train your pup, discipline them when needed, and teach them more commands and tricks to keep them happy and in check. They need to have fun but also realize that you are their loving parent who is in control of their wellbeing.
Socialization and training should be recognized as a routine in this stage. By now you have conquered most of the challenges of puppyhood.
Your precious pooch is almost a young adult and he or she will start to look more mature and will become calmer.
Your pup should be obeying your comm a nds most of the time by now and as long as you walk your pup each day and play with them all should be well. Ongoing training will ensure a great relationship between the two of you and all the other family members in their lives. Still, excitement, playfulness, and high spirits may appear throughout their lives.
Just like us, dogs will always be kids at heart. However, puppy exuberance will diminish as they approach their senior years, which is anywhere from seven years on. If you are not sure when your puppy has reached maturity or not, look for growth spurts. With a well-established routine, a good foundation of training , and plenty of physical and mental and physical stimulation, your puppy will be calm and well-behaved by this time. Although their high energy level is perfectly normal, there are still things you can do to reduce the behavior.
Here are a few ways to calm your hyperactive puppy. Your pup should begin to calm down even more once he or she is between the ages of 2 to 3 years old. However, all dogs need to be walked and worked out in as many ways as possible each day to keep them healthy and happy.
