I have been reading about a training program for basnjis on the inernet. Its by Nancy Richards at www.trainpetdog.com. im just wondering if any of you other owners have heard of or used this program, or is it just another internet scam. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@zande - I have place pups at 9wks, but typically to prior Basenji owners, they know the "ropes"... also I do eyes at 9wks, so 10 works better for me in placing pups and yes...(LOL) mine are raised in the home, no kennel.... and the breeders that I know that use kennel runs, still have their pups in the house for house time and "education".....

Looks like you said that difference in your second post, so we are on the same page.

Management is the greatest tool for preventing this kind of behavior.

Also, as others have mentioned, exercise and wearing them out energetically is very useful as well.

If they have access to an appropriate toy to chew on, are managed correctly, and get enough daily exercise, you shouldn't have too many problems.

Chase is great... if he's chasing you. But if you're chasing him, this is very bad.

Playing chase, with him chasing you, will also help with engagement. Play chase with food.

Also, I would recommend hand-feeding for (at least) a month. You want to build value in you.

In addition, it has to be said, that some puppies are just lazy and like being bummy. You can encourage active behavior by making yourself valuable (so he wants to be around you) and by making activities valuable. At 6 months however, you might be out of luck. Still, it's your dog, so it's probably worth it to give it a dedicated try.

You also, might want to try using more valuable food rewards (like steak, cheese, etc. (whatever he loves and doesn't typically get much of)).

Best of luck.

@klangill
I asked in the Facebook San Diego (CA) Basenji Meetup group about trainers. A member recommended Crewsn K9 Academy. https://www.crewsnk9academy.com/

I posted early in this thread about checking with the local breed club, South Coast Basenji Fanciers, for advice.
