Bichon Frise Forum:
toilet training

we have two bichon dogs, they are one year old. We are haing problems with them urinating in the house at night.Otherwise they are great little dogs.Should i take a firmer stance with them. As i understand that if you dont catch them in the act they wont understand what they are being scolded for Thanks. Di

My Bichon was very hard to train. Hubby takes her out right before bed. Then she sleeps with us and he takes her out ist thing in the AM. We keep her on a strict potty schedule, even if it interferes with our schedule. I also have used puddles pads for night. It takes a lot of patience.

Are you confining the dogs to a small space at night, like a create? Dogs will not mess where they sleep. Do you take them out at around 10pm. I have got up and got dressed and took my dogs out at 2:30am

We had a Very Difficult time toilet training our bichon. We were advised by the breeder and the vet that crate training is best at night. They like their small space and will not \"mess\" where they sleep.
