I did enjoy reading your book. I have had three Bichon's over the past many years now and my latest little darling is called Pebbles.
She is very outgoing, friendly, lively and clever and has a mind of her own (just like her mum). It is amazing how different all three have been.
I did find the section on Reverse Sneezing very interesting as all three have done this at some time and it has worried me even though I instinctively have done the correct thing.
I got Pebbles at 11 weeks and from the moment I brought her home she has not had an accident inside.
It did take a lot of effort on my part as I took her outside each time she had a feed or water and praised her when she had finished.
I did this even during the night as she slept with me and I didn't want her to wet the bed. (Yes I know this is not to be encouraged but I do love her sleeping with me).
This way within two weeks I had her toilet trained and going through the doggie door. This is also what I did with my other two and did not have a problem with them.
Pebbles is now 20 months old and in the picture she is about 20 weeks old.

I really appreciated the Bichon e-book package.
I know that Fluffy Marie did too because I found out why she was constantly licking and chewing at her feet, also rubbing her face on the floor like she was trying to wipe something off.
Your book mentioned allergies to several products. When we eliminated those things from her diet her feet no longer look raw and sore from the constant licking and biting and she is no longer rubbing her face on the floor.
