Any tips on training her?
Nothing seems to work :mad:

I am afaraid you will need to give us a bit more information. How old is she? How long have you had her? Have you had other dogs? In what way is she "naughty"?
By the way she is a BICHON Frise.... a bison is a different type of animal entirely :D

What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.

(Sorry, that's my favourite joke. I know, I'm sad. I'll go away and leave you all alone now. :D LOL)

If your talking house training, be prepared to be very consistent, very determined and most of all very very patient. Bichons are not the most trainable of breeds (trust me, I have two and have had three bitches before this lot) But it CAN be done! What area are having trouble with?

hebeboots- Are they more difficult to train than other toy breeds?
- By Lea Date 26.10.07 19:13 UTC
Sorry to ask but, if you are having problems with your current breed, why are you looking for another toy breed puppy???
Lea :)

Angels, I think so yes, I had one bitch who did her obedience test and passed (just!!! :D) but every other have been, shall we say challenging! Especially with house training issues :rolleyes:
And because I have a bichon/poodle cross too that has inherited poodle brains (he's a smart as paint) you definately see the difference! Bichon Frise translates to 'curly coated lap-dog' and that is what they do best!
But what they lack in trainability they more than make up for in every other way especially their wonderfully friendly natures and sweet disposition :) and cheekiness is very much part of them!
Obviously there are exceptions, I know two bichons that do mini-agility and obedience displays! My current lot are all still 'in-training', especially re-call (I'm whistle training them) and leg-lifting (of course :rolleyes:)

I wouldn't be without my gang of monkeys! :) :)

My mother in law has 2 girls who she adores but i have never really asked her about training just that i've heard other people say that they can be harder to train and thought it was chinese whispers but obviously its true!:cool:

Scary if the op is having problems with their dog AND wanting another....:eek:

Yes they can be quite a hard breed to housetrain.  Our Bichon was 8 months old before he was fully housetrained - we got him when he was 10 weeks.:rolleyes:   He is 3 1/2 years old now and the perfect dog. :-)

OP is notable by her absence. I see that on the same day as this point she posted about looking for a chihuahua. Something isnt quite right here.
- By luvhandles Date 28.10.07 16:18 UTC
Giving the benefit of doubt - the op could be posting on behalf of a freind?? He/she didn't really go in depth with the post..........just a thought brfore you frighten her/him away:eek:  ;)
- By pinklilies Date 28.10.07 18:05 UTC
If the poster were posting on behalf of a friend she could have said so. In addition the poster did not respond with further information when asked to do so by other posters, including myself. It appears the poster may not have therefore been serious in her/his request for advice.
