Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.
Malaika does it again !

Yesterday Malaika passed her KC Silver good citizenship.
She has done two assessments this week due to not being able to do her Bronze in Sept due to being in season.
We are so very proud of her and she is only a year old.
The Silver actualy took 2 1/2 hours as there were 5 other Dogs and the building was very cold. We were a little worried about her 2 min sit stay as we all know Basenjis don't do cold. However there was no problem.
When she did her return to handler and come away from distractions she was so good that the assessor said if she could she would have awarded extra points
She has had lots of lovely treats as she deserves.
Howard my hubby did the handling. -
Very nice, congratulations…
