Dog Health Questions: I have a Bichon Frise dog that barks 24/7?

I have a Bichon Frise dog that barks 24/7 and I don't know how to make him quiet with positive dog training. Please help me!!!

Electronic Dog Training Collars



Recommended Answer:
Spray him with water whenever he barks unnecessarily -- sounds mean, but it worked with my dog. I have a friend that had her Westie's voice box altered (something like that) but I think that's just awful. It seems like any dog could be trained not to bark with the right attention. Good luck -

Is My Jack Russell Suitable For Schutzhund Dog Training?


  • Go buy a little squirt bottle and fill it with water everytime he yaps squirt him in the face! It is not cruel and teaches bad response to bad behavior. Or call the dog whisperer!

  • To tell you the truth...you can't really stop a dog from barking but you can try this.....when it barks....say hush or something like that and when you say it close his mouth shut!!

  • You can use a breath fresher that is a spray.
    When the dog barks, you say "No Bark" and when it does it again you spray the dogs mouth with one squirt and say "No Bark" again. They hate the taste of the breath spray but it won't harm them. Usually works about the thrid time unless they are a little hard headed and then I have had to use it maybe 7- 10 times before they get the jest.

  • one way is to get a tin soup container and put pebbles in it and put something on the top to seal it then every time the dog barks you shake and say QUITE!

  • the squirt bottle is good, but when you are not home they forget the training. the best thing that worked for my dogs was the citronella bark collar (you can find it on-line). what it does is that when the dog barks the collar automatically sprays citronella on the nose. it's not bad and they will learn quick. and you don't have to walk around with a spray bottle all day.

  • .22

  • I also have a bichon, the best one around. I found that the remote contol collar by Innotec is the best friend. She never barks and never goes in the street. This item was a Godsend.
    I tranied her with it and she is the perfect companion.

  • you could also try a barking control collar that makes a noise that only dogs can hear when it barks.

  • take the dog to the vet and get it debarked ( a procedure where the vocal cords are snipped) and then she will have a quiter more tolerable bark.

  • first of all you should never take the dog to get "debarked" . that simply horrfies me!!! I cant believe any vet would ever do that for any reason other than if the dogs life was in danger. i am very upset that anyone would even recommend that!!!!! you should be ashamed!!!!! my friends dog was debarked by its previous
    owner. i have to tell you it is sad to see the dog try to bark. besides what if the dog starts barking because something is on fire. i bet you would be sorry then that you couldn't hear them. i know that bichons are the best dog ever he probably barks just because he likes the sound of his voice!! i know some people who talk for that reason hahaha. but i think he is perfect the way he is. why dont you give him a big hug and a big wet kiss for me. and for the person above me well i will pray that you feel sorry about what you did.

  • Buy a citronella collar - they run around $80, but its more humane than the electric bark correction collars. The way it works is that whenever the dog barks, the collar mists citronella spray - which the dog does not like. Eventually, the dog will associate the barking with the spray and stop altogether.

    They sell them at petedge.com at a good price.

  • They don't like noise. They are very possessive of their masters. They are wonderful, they just want to know where you are and what you are doing. I've had one for 12 years, He watches every step I take or make. They are just like human children. Talk to them with a calm voice. They do not require spanking. Just love and attention. They are very sensitive. I'll be watching for any more questions you may have. I have a book on this type dog.

    Temperament: Gentle, mannered, sensitive, playful and affectionate. A cheerful attitude is the hallmark of the breed and one should settle for nothing less. These little dogs in their snowsuits will work their way nto your heart and home. Once you live with a Bichon you will always have one. This is not to say that you can't have another breed, for the Bicheon's gentle and nonthreatening disposition makes it possible to own other pets. This is a true face, I can testify to that. cat, birds. They are very intelligent. It was said tha King Henry III, was never without the company of his Bichons. This was during the time of the Renaissance in Europe.

    The Bichon in the United States;
    In 1972, the Bichon was officially admitted to the American Kennel Club permitted the Bichon Frise to compete in the Miscellaneous class at AKC dog shows. In 1973 the breed was biven full recognition by the AKC and was allow to compete for championship oints and be shown in the Non Sporting Group.

    Grooming and lots of it. They need it and they love it. They can even be trained to take their own showers. Trained to use a cat pan for urinating during your absence. They thrive on being feed and exercised around the same time every day.
