Introduction. Hyperacusis is an extreme aversion and hypersensitivity to sounds that are generally not an issue to others. Electrical and machine noises, as well as sudden high-pitched noises, are usually hard to tolerate for people with hyperacusis (examples are listed in the box on this page). However, any sound can potentially trigger a reaction in someone with hyperacusis â even the sound of their own voice.
The Look of a Bichon Frise. Bichon Frises are small and sturdy with distinctive puffball coats, sometimes groomed âlion-styleâ with a close-cut body and puffy mane. They have slightly rounded heads, medium-length muzzles, hanging ears (usually covered in hair) and protruding black noses. Their dark eyes have a curious and lively expression.
As a behavioral consultant, I put the Bichon Frise on my Top 10 List of Hard to Housebreak.. Consistent crate training is mandatory. Sometimes a doggy door is necessary, and it should lead out to a COVERED potty yard, as Bichons often won't go out in the rain.
