    They love eachother so much!!!

    They play every day so sweet (I never leave their sight) :D
    Chafuko's loves it to hear Ryan laugh, and he will yodel.
    When he yodels Ryan laugh very very hard and they run to eachother, after eachother (I wish Chaffie gives me the same sweet treatment as he does with ryan haha)
    And finally they will end up on the couch together and hug for a while… :)
    With Buana he hugs mostly, they both love it to have contact.
    Ryan likes to put his head on Buana to have a rest.. Buana gives him a little kiss and they rest like this for a while. :)
    So very sweet, and again I'm amazed by the fact Ryan is so carefull and treat the animals with so much respect.
    I really didn't know kids from that age know you can't pull their tail or ears and you can't keep running after them. He is a true doctor Doolittle :D

    His very first word he can speak that well is: James.... hahahahaha

    It's so special when you are able to capture great moments in a picture. Like Ryan pointing to the paw and the one where he is standing in some adults' rain boots.

    Regarding the ear pulling, Ryan has obviously picked up respect for animals through your actions. You have lots to be proud of - what a lovely family you have!

    First Basenji's

    This is completely random, but when I saw this video, I thought of your baby Ryan:

    … remember when I said he could grow up to tame lions and wolves?

    I imagine that this man may have grown up in the type of animal-friendly environment that you are providing for Ryan. But this is pure speculation. =)

    It's good to see more pictures of the family. Ryan is the way he is because of how you've brought him up. He's a real credit to yuo and I'm sure you're very proud of him. It would be wonderful if other parents followed your examples.

    @Saving so nice to hear there's other people with the same problem! We have been giving regular baths to our b, so I don't know if that really helped or not. Anyways, it took a while for me to bring Nova again to the dog park, because I was a bit afraid the same situation would happen again. I was there a couple of days ago, and no one tried to hump her. (I must say all dogs had same age approx.) Thank you for your comment replies! :)

    Sparkle Barkle came into heat in April. Logan went nuts! I was traveling so my wife was saddled with the mayhem. Mayhem doesn't begin to describe the situation. Sparkle should be coming in again within days, I hope, and unfortunately, he won't get any love this time either. He's gonna be a massive handful for at least a MONTH. I'm not traveling this time, so it's all on me. Cross your fingers for Tri females. I want three!

    @sarahmiri - I would say no to carrying him.... don't pick him up, but get down to his level as Zande pointed out in her response.

    IMO it is a myth that Basenjis cannot have good manners on a walk. Yes, great if you can do off leash, but when circumstances dictate that a leash is necessary then walking calmly without a lot of drama and pulling should be achievable. Personally I do not like long lines or flex leashes. Or allowing dogs to eat whatever they find on the ground, which can in some cases earn you a trip to the vet or worse. Like most dogs, Basenjis are not overly discriminant about what they will ingest. A short leash and being observant can protect them from unwelcome outcomes. Mental exercise will also go a long way with any dog. But one should have a definite opinion about who is running the show, and it should not be the dog....they are quite willing to take up the position should you abdicate.

    Just thought I'd share an update on this. I removed the blankets from the crate and replaced them with a mattress. We have been strict about her only staying in the crate at night. When we have had accidents I have cleaned up, with a dog urine killing spray, and placed her back in the crate. Everything is progressing smoothly, not had any accidents for over a week now. So it's been a rather quick turnaround, lovely to have her properly crate trained again. Thank you all for sharing advice on the situation.
