Training a Bichon Frise can be carried out anytime and anywhere. There is often a misconception in dog training that Bichon training has time limits, but this is wrong. During daily life activities such as walking, eating, and when guests come, one should patiently teach the Bichon which behaviors are "allowed" and which are "not allowed."

　　When buying a Bichon Frise, pet owners must not only take good care of the dog but also learn how to train it. A well-behaved and smart dog will win everyone's affection.

　　1. The trainer should be qualified: Respect and trust in humans is the primary principle of canine obedience. If you do not become friends with the dog, you cannot gain its trust. To ensure good training, the personality of the trainer and their love for dogs are key, rather than specialized techniques or knowledge. A trainer with unstable temper and impatience can confuse the dog. Before teaching it anything, you must carefully observe the dog's psychological state and persistently repeat the training. Patience, self-control, and love are the most important during training.

　　2. Unconditionally "give it your heart": Commands are meant to have the dog obey human will, not because it will get something in return. To make it sincerely obedient, you should not let it expect rewards when first teaching commands. When it completes a command, simply praising it is enough. The reward for following commands is "your heart." For dogs, nothing makes them happier than love; food and toys are not love. Simple commands like "sit" and "give" are quickly learned. Although methods of teaching may vary, the obedience planted in its heart differs completely. Basically, a dog obedient to humans can understand even difficult commands and improves its obedience.

　　3. Humans and dogs must share a common heart: For mutual understanding, humans should not pretend their feelings to dogs, who are animals too. Only with a pure heart can communication happen. Dogs are like children, expressing exactly what they feel without pretense.

　　4. Cultivate its desire to work: Even the naughtiest dog, during play such as fetching shoes or playing with brooms, develops instincts that have a big future impact. These behaviors show its desire to work with you. To enhance this desire, you can give it items to carry in its mouth and play with it. Also, do not always suppress the dog's actions; instead, approach it to understand the behavior and then decide whether to praise or punish. Otherwise, you might destroy the hard-earned obedience and the desire to work will not develop.

　　5. Teach it to become part of the family: Dogs also face the outside world, so it is necessary to teach them not to cause trouble. Do not feel pity because it is trained or treat it specially thinking ignorance is innocence; like raising children, if it does wrong, it should be scolded. If it is truly a family member, don't give it special treatment.

　　6. Develop rich emotions with your dog: The richer the animal's emotions, the more it will express. Many instincts are governed by feelings. Rich emotions can unleash its potential to the fullest. If a dog has such emotional connection and control, its relationship with humans will be stronger.

　　7. Do not force the dog's emotions: When a dog is not used to a new environment, it becomes more alert. If the owner insists on being overly affectionate, the dog will only close itself off more. It's better to let the relationship be naturally accepted without forcing the dog’s feelings. This approach better earns its trust.

　　8. Sometimes you must adapt to it: Reality often differs from imagination. Sometimes no matter how much the owner works hard to teach the dog toward an ideal, it does not change. In such cases, you must cooperate and accept its unwillingness to change. That is, not only making it obey humans but also accepting its efforts is important.

　　9. Show it a lot of affection: Nothing strengthens the bond more than affection. For a dog, it feels human care and loses insecurities or fears, gaining a sense of security. For timid or distrustful dogs, gently hold it (not too tightly—this can cause resistance), softly pat it, and talk to it gently for soothing effects.

　　10. Talk with your dog: Dogs do not truly understand human language but can read human emotions. When speaking with your Bichon, add emotion using tone and atmosphere so the dog senses your feelings.

　　11. Prevent fights: Never allow dogs to fight with other dogs anywhere. Dog fights result in injury for both sides. From an early age, they should be taught not to show hostility toward other dogs or animals. This instinctive fighting also disregards the owner's presence, so proper discipline is necessary to ensure absolute obedience, preventing fighting nature to avoid injuries.

　　12. Do not let it play alone: When letting the dog out in spacious places, avoid letting it play alone. Learning self-centered play will make it ignore the owner and act independently, losing the concept of "owner first" and thus losing obedience. Once it dislikes restraint, it will also ignore calls later.

　　13. Teach it to endure: Dogs that insist on their own way and make humans give in do not understand endurance. Dogs that don't wait, refuse to accept fate, and can't tolerate loneliness have been spoiled. To cultivate strength and independence, let it learn endurance by stepping back. Too much help makes the dog incapable of coping, increasing dependence.
