Bichon Frise Training

Do you have a Bichon Frise that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Bichon Frises are cheerful, playful companion dogs with a trademark fluffy white coat. They're social, adaptable, and generally good-natured — but they have a stubborn streak and can develop anxiety-based behaviours if not properly supported.

Common Bichon Frise traits and training needs

  • Prone to separation anxiety — bred for companionship and struggle when left alone
  • Can be difficult to toilet train, especially in cold or wet weather
  • May develop barking habits, particularly at visitors and unfamiliar noises
  • Can become demanding of attention and develop attention-seeking behaviours
  • Prone to guarding food, toys, or their favourite person
  • Can be over-excited and jumpy during greetings

Bichon owners love their happy little cloud of a dog. If your Bichon follows you everywhere, barks when you leave the room, or treats toilet training like an optional activity on rainy days, these are really common Bichon patterns. Their cheerful disposition and desire for companionship make them responsive to gentle, consistent training — they genuinely want to be your best little mate.

"Natalie is a brilliant pup & human educator! Her solutions are focused on sustainable, kind & fun techniques for the whole family. Our pup Leica was enamoured from day one & to be honest we were a little star struck too. Cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. 5 stars just aren’t enough."

"We have been using Crazy Kind Calm training for just under two months now and the difference in our 6yo Airedale Teddy has been absolutely amazing. We were having all sorts of problems with Teddy being overly excitable with people and aggressive towards other dogs when out for a walk. Natalie has taught us a whole range of techniques to help manage Teddy's behaviours and reduce her stress levels. Teddy is so much calmer and happier these days and we are continuing to work on her excitement levels. We highly recommend Crazy Kind Calm!"
