December 23rd, 2008 by Mary Stevenson
When you get a Bichon rescue dog expect nothing but love from it. These dogs, well known for their cuddly beauty, make exceptional pets for those who love animals and love to be constantly around them. The Bichon Frise dog is an exceptionally loving dog as it is beautiful and when you get one from a rescue center you should be completely assured that you are making the best choice ever.
Having a Bichon Frise rescue dog is a joy because in most cases this dog is already housebroken and well trained. Besides, its personality will most likely match your needs exactly. When you get a rescue dog into your home keep in mind that it has a history and that is not a pleasant one. Give it time to adjust with you and your family and feel secure yet one more time through your love and the comfort it gets in your home.
The Bichon Frise rescue dog will need to be gradually introduced to the rules of your home. Keep in mind that this indeed has to be done gently and with more than a little patience. There are some easy and surefire ways to bond with the dog and you should adopt these one by one to have it become an integral part of your home sooner than later.
A Bichon Frise rescue dog will pine for love, affection and an owner. In the shelter it will feel isolated and lonely which is pretty traumatic for these dogs because they particularly love human companionship and close interaction.
You will find when you get the dog home that it is either very happy and bounces all over the place or that it is very circumspect and suspicious of everything that comes in the front of it. You need to treat it with patience and a lot of love. Allow it to move freely even if there are a few accidents in the meantime.
There are many things that you need to do when you bring home a Bichon Frise rescue dog. Among the first things will be to show it its haven or safe place. Have it in a place which is a little secluded, yet not away from your company. It can be at the foot of the bed in a wide and comfortable dog basket, near your favorite armchair or the like. The dog should feel safe and secure there, as well as comfortable.
Give the dog time sufficient time to understand the rules of your home, while at the same time interact with it constantly. Always have some tidbits with you and reward the dog amply whenever it does anything praiseworthy. Ignore things it does wrong initially and continue to reward the good behavior.
There is a total bonding that forms between any pet and yourself once you have it for some time with you. There is however a very special bond when it comes to a Bichon Frise rescue dog. There is the fun time of discovering each other and there is the time when both feel grateful about each other’s presence. Adopting a dog is a wonderful thing.
