If there's a hybrid that's gaining popularity among toy dog owners, it has to be the Bichon Poo. The popularity is rooted in the dog's key allures - it does not shed, and it's winning, cheerful, and docile nature.. This breed, also sometimes called the Bichon Poodle, is actually a cross between two already popular breeds - the Bichon Frise and the Poodle. The Bichon Frise is a favorite among pet owners with allergies, since it does not shed. The Poodle is known for being a great and loyal companion dog. A Bichon Poodle is a smart dog, so it may always be easy to train and care for one. This short article shows you how.
One. Invest in a crate and lots of puppy pads. Dogs do not like to smell their own, or any other dogs' pee, in their private sleeping corner. In this case it would have to be a small dedicated crate, a large box, or a corner of the room with puppy pads very near the crate. What's going to happen, over time, is that the dogs will learn to hold their pee until they leave their crate. If you cover the floor with newspapers, you will have fewer potty accidents to worry about. You can use food or treats for positive reinforcement.
Two. You'll want to take your dog's outdoors, on schedule, since some energetic play daily is really going to help them burn off some excess energy, You'd have known by now that the Bichon Poo loves to run around. So a dog that's physically active by nature might get bored or destructive when there's no outlet for play. The outdoors are never a bad thing, for dog and owner alike.
Three. Stick to a specific grooming schedule. Make sure to at least brush your dog's hair every 2 days. You don't want tangles to develop, so you should stick to this. Unless you can provide a professional kind of grooming and trimming for your dog every two months, you should leave this to a professional. The goal is to keep the dogs' coat short, to prevent knots from developing.
Four. Short car rides can help your dog get used to them. You want to get your dog used to longer car rides and taking frequent short ones is the way to prepare for longer rides.
Five. Teach your dog to sit and stay; allot an hour or two at least everyday for that. The Bichon Poo is a very smart dog, so the usual negative reinforcement - punishing it after an unwanted act - is not going to work; what will work is praise, treats, and attention after it does something you approve of

About the Author:
Most dogs tend to respond well to a behavioral technique of receiving punishment to prevent particular behaviors, but that won't work on a Bichon Poo. Also known as the Bichon Poodle, this breed is not as easily pleased or made to obey, unlike other breeds.
