Bichon Frise Training To Avoid Small Dog Syndrome
July 31st, 2010 by KittyKitty
Perhaps some owners might think that bichon frise training is no longer needed given that this breed falls under the toy dog classification. And being regarded as toy dog simply means one thing – to live a life like that of a spoiled prince or princess. Put simply, a pup gets to own costly stuff, being brought to trips and social events, being carried all over and allowed to escape from whatever issues he/she gets into.
Even though you mean no harm to your dog, some of those gestures are actually not helping you mold his young mind to become a well-mannered pet most people enjoy to be around. Giving in to his whimpering or crying is more likely to lead to different behavior issues like small dog syndrome.
A pet with small dog syndrome behaves just like a spoiled brat who is snappy, nippy, demanding and disobedient. He appears to act larger than he really is in the hopes of defending his self and also the pack especially if he sees the need to do so.
The simplest way to prevent this behavior is for you to maintain your confidence as the owner, as leader of the pack. You must make the message clear that you’re the boss and you are capable of performing your tasks.
If he committed something improper, take immediate measures to correct him. Like if he bites or jumps at you, ignoring him is one of the best ways to tell him that you are not pleased with what he is doing. When training him to walk correctly, ensure that he’s situated alongside or behind you, not in front of you. Don’t let him drag you as to where he want to go. Make it clear to him that you’re the one who decides where and when to go and how fast your pace ought to be.
Eating ahead of him and using firm tone of voice in saying “no” if you don’t want what he is doing can also help you attain successful dog training.
