Many friends are not very familiar with the Bichon breed of pet dogs but want to buy and train one. So how should we train the Bichon breed? Let's first understand the Bichon. It was originally a “native dog” from the Canary Islands, a Spanish territory. As European sailors traveled by ship between several countries in Europe, the Bichon served as a good companion; in the fifteenth century, people crossbred the Maltese dog with long-haired breeds to cultivate a new breed, which is today's standardized Bichon. At that time in European royal courts, nobles regarded it as a pet, and it gradually became a companion dog.

Because the Bichon's head is covered with thick crown hair, it can be trimmed into a small round head, just like Seven in "CJ7." Its intelligence ranks forty-fifth among dog breeds; it is very smart, has a good memory, and is easy to train. The best time to train a Bichon is between three and six months old. During this period, socialization training, focus, and obedience should be emphasized. Early training is better than late training, as it helps the dog develop good habits and cultivate affinity from a young age.

In the initial stages of training, we can use the dog's favorite dog food or treats as incentives. Every time it shows the desired behavior during training, reward it with food, preferably combined with training clickers. During early training, the owner should maintain stable emotions, be affectionate and patient, and choose a quiet environment so that the dog's attention can concentrate without being disturbed by other things. Training projects should progress from easy to difficult. Don’t start with very difficult exercises because, after all, a dog’s intelligence is not as high as humans’, and getting your Bichon to meet your requirements is not easy; it requires slow and gradual steps.

Every five minutes of training should be followed by a three-minute rest for relaxation and play. After all, a dog’s attention is highly concentrated during training, and too long a session can cause "learning fatigue." When the dog behaves incorrectly, the owner should not use violence. Violence will cause the dog to develop rebellious psychology and become irritable, leading to the opposite effect. Owners should sternly reprimand, use both rewards and punishments, and apply comprehensive control with enough patience and confidence to correct wrong behaviors.
