Hello everyone,

My little guy Pharaoh is about 15 months old and I have noticed lately that he seems to be going through a rebellious (teenage) phase where he is becoming more destructive and gets wound up and wants to play very hard with me (with some play biting included). Have any of you gone throught this phase? Any thoughts on how to manage? When he is not on 10 and acting crazy he is the sweetest most cuddly loving dog I have ever known. Isn't it fun to have teenagers???

As I have said before, I work on the principle that I am bigger than they are and it is MY house. Make a tremendous song and dance about unimportant misdeamours and pretend to ignore the serious infringements.

Then when the pack wants to punish me they do something which they know will get them the most attention - screaming and tears from me.

But a bored Basenji will tend to destruction if there is nothing else to do. It needs plenty to hold its interest. Toys, bones, a companion.

I had a hedgehog as a pet and let him run around in the house with Becca while watching. I think she tried to 'nose' him once and got poked in the nose. That and he puffed at her and that was the end of that. We have animals like that around here but our yard is chain-linked and page-wired so nothing can really get in. I haven't seen a porcupine around here at all yet though we found out this summer that there is a cougar around this area. A couple of years ago one of the neighbors came downstairs and looked at their deck and the cougar was sleeping on his deck!! I would have freaked!

Thanks for all your help! As I mentioned previously, it was the trainer that
said there may be some basenji in this dog. We had never heard of basenjis,
so it's been interesting to learn more about them, whether or not she has any in her. Thanks again for your input!

We have the movie, only because it is about a Basenji, but even my kids {who were raised on old movies} think it's a bit much – the Basenji crying had them giggling out loud. They did all want to smack the kid around for his training techniques though, LOL.

Oh, and you're right agile, it's a Warner Brothers movie.

I just boarded Tiggy and Reggie for one night, Reggie has been boarded before and Tiggy and him were in the same suite. They both did great and they had no problems and had no issues noted on their cards.
