Please share your discipline style. How do you manage potty accidents in the home, and how do you safely intervene if dogs argue or get into a fight?

Because Bichons can be a little stubborn with house training, we’d like to know about your experience. Have you ever house trained a dog? If yes, please share the techniques that worked for you.

Bichons often experience separation anxiety. Have you cared for a dog with separation anxiety? If yes, please describe the techniques you’ve used that were helpful.

How much weight can you safely lift and carry (for example, lifting a dog or crate)?

I am willing to foster special needs.

Yes, I am open to discuss this.

I confirm all data is true and authorize any vet named above to release any information or records concerning my past animals. I understand that fostering a Bichon through BFCA does not guarantee that I will be approved to adopt the rescue dog if it is not in the best interest of the foster dog. Foster dogs remain the property of BFCACT until formally adopted AND THE ADOPTION DONATION IS RECEIVED. By signing below you agree to provide weekly status reports on all BFCACT dogs in your care to the Foster Coordinator.
