Okay I did find the ASFA website, but would still like info about the sport and how it all works

@tanza:

Do you use a wire crate? I have always used General Cage Crates.. and they have lasted for many, many years… I have ones that are 16 yrs old that are just in great condition.

We use wire crates too. The tray in the bottom locks so they can't push it out and its hard to destroy 😃

Love it. I had seen the golden video a couple years ago and though. well of course a golden would be willing to learn that. Amazing that a Basenji actually decided it was worth while to learn that 🙂

Great articles, a lot of good info.

Thanks

What a fabulous weekend! Congratulations!

Just wanted to bring this up again as several people have mentioned it in posts

Yes, I thougth about it:D
How much is it?

If you have never seen the Easy Walk Harness here is a basenji wearing the s/m.

Has he always been like this, or is it new behavior? If new, I would suggest a physical exam with full panel thyroid check. Low thyroid or other health issues could be causing his behavior. If this is normal for him, I agree with all of the above, checking with breeder and getting 1:1 training with a positive trainer. And LOTS of exercise, a tired dog is a god dog.

Anne in Tampa

mia only gets water when were there to watch her and take her out about 10-15 minutes later.. whenever shes taken out of the crate she goes straight outside.. and before we put her in we take her out again, whether thats 15 or 20 minutes or an hour. i've quickly learned that water goes RIGHT through them. so taking the water out of the cage should work! she has an occasional accident but not everyday.

Nice place you live in Nina! Carty I envy you wearing lots of sweaters and coats and pretty scarfs to keep warm. In Zoeys world today she had a blast! After waking up and eating she decided that while I worked she would get into the bathroom where my son left the cabinet open on his way out the door to school. Oh yeah….you guessed it! Toilet paper all over the living room and a pink and blue sponge added in for color!
Ahhh a day in the life of a puppy...I hope we all make it through this stage.
It has been raining buckets here today so I am thankful for the puppy pads.
On a brighter note...she learned the command down or as my son says..."get low". I know she is a bad girl wanting to be good...lol

@tanza:

I know people that have tried it (the spray) it doesn't work unless by accident… and you know, you need to stand in the rain with Dallas...:p Been there done that with many a puppy

Oh believe me, I was soaked! I was standing right in the rain (during the most downpour of course) in the middle of the grassy area he goes in but he just would NOT go! I even kept bribing him with treats to stay in the grass & go but he kept trying to back out of his collar to get his paws on the concrete vs. in the wet grass. I know when the sprinklers go off it's a bit more a challenge to get him to go in the grass but he manages. This is actually the first time he's been out when it's still be raining down.

Wow great photos! And great dogs! 🙂

Thanks, that is CH Mijokr Jacque ChewzToes. He has some lovely small hooded ears that we don't see too much anymore - he is rather 'full of himself' as you can imagine. (but then again - what basenji isn't)

Well last night was…surprisingly great! I started a new thread about it so check it out 🙂

😃 Love The Pics

she slept all night last night:D 1045pm-6am.

In our experience they are like babies & cribs, let them cry and start with very short intervals, make it positive and act or do something else to ignore them. Also make the crate really comfy or put in a a nice blanket.

They grow to love their crates. We leave them uncrated when we go out and when we return we often find them asleep in their crates. They feel safe & cozy in them.

@jaclempner:

I also have a jumper. The trainer I worked with did the same thing mentioned in jys1011's post. Turn away - even if you have to do it 20 times. They get no attention until they're calm. Rosie can be pretty persistent, but it works. Basically, no dog should get attention when they're over-excited (easier to say than practice - sometimes I just don't have the time to wait them out).

Oh I hear that…. "no time to wait them out" 😃
