The Bichon Frise needs to be given proper Bichon Frise training to ensure that he does not become a problem pet. If Bichon Frise potty training is not properly given, it can lead to developing problems such as becoming too aggressive and even taking to biting people and things. Though he is easy to housebreak, there is yet a popular misconception that the Bichon Frise is hard to housebreak. Yet, with patience and perseverance there should not be any difficulty in getting him to potty in the proper spot.

Nevertheless, despite being very intelligent, the Bichon Frise may not always co-operate when being potty trained though it is not impossible to housebreak him, provided you plan ahead and use the right training method. It is thus necessary to use love and affection and a gentle tone of voice when imparting Bichon Frise potty training because these will ensure the desired results as opposed to being negative and punitive which will only lead to further problems with your Bichon Frise.
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.

In addition, it is not right for you to scold your dog or punish him if accidents happen, because dogs are naturally very clean and will generally follow your instructions provided they are given in a calm and gentle voice, and they are also rewarded when they do the right things. Also, your Bichon Frise potty training efforts will only begin to show positive results after your puppy has attained the age of six months, which is when they start to remember their habits, and will thus be able to associate leaving their crate with having to eliminate.
Your puppy may not always be able to remember to go out and eliminate and this is in part due to his extremely small bladder as well as bowel, so you need to exercise restraint should accidents happen during Bichon Frise potty training. Because of his young age and poor control over his organs, your new Bichon Frise may act like a young infant and create a mess in spite of your best efforts.

Should such accidents occur, you should remember that proper Bichon Frise training and more particularly Bichon Frise potty training does not require you to punish or reprimand your pup every time he accidentally messes up your home. Often, such accidents can even be due to your own fault in not taking the puppy out in time and thus he isn’t really the one to blame. In any case you need to, when such accidents take place, note down the circumstances and try and rectify the reasons behind such accidents.
