Do you exercise your Bichons? I find it interesting that a seven-year-old dog cannot have full run of the house. You say they get so excited they start piddling? Do they not get attention or daily walks? Have you watched Ceasar Milan? He makes it extremely clear that many behavioral issues are caused by lack of exercise and pent up energy, which this sounds like. Have you tried to walk all four of them together, as a pack? I know you said they have access to a large backyard, but dogs need disciplined exercise (i.e. walks, hikes, agility training, etc). Self exercise just wont do. Just a thought... |
