Do Bichon Frises bark a lot?

No, Bichon Frises are not usually excessive barkers or yappers. They are alert and vocal dogs, however, and might bark to alert their pet parents of strangers or unusual sounds, express excitement, or communicate their needs and desires.

Some Bichon Frises are more vocal than others depending on their personality, environment, and upbringing. Proper training, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques can teach Bichon Frises when it’s appropriate to bark and when to be quiet.
