Puppy training classes…questions

Basenji Training
  • You can email her…. she doesn't mind. Her website has her email addy.

  • Sal has sent me some details but she won't be at Crufts. She is going to check with Sally if any body is coming over. I haven't yet emailed her back but perhaps if somebody is coming here you could order as well.

  • After the recommendations for Sally's braided beaded leads I have now placed an order with her for a black lead with brindle beads on it as a homage to my dear Otis…can't wait to get it..will take pictures once I do. Thanks for your help guys.

  • Just wondering if some of you who show red/white B's could take a pic of your Sal leads, and if its not too much to ask, even a pic of them on the dog, please ??? :D…

    I find the biggest problem is trying to buy a lead that will blend into the red coat. I dont like dark leads on the reds, I want the lead to be 'invisible' and Im having a HUGE problem finding what I want. Currently showing them all on a white paracord lead, with a bit of bling, but they are ruined so quickly by your dirty food encrusted hands, they now all look grey :(...

  • Ok just going to finish catching up on all the Basenji threads, then Im off to email Sal :)…

    For those that show red/whites, with Sal's leads, what colour do you use to show the dogs in, out of Sal's leather choices ???

  • Saba, I got it in black to stand out against Pippin's colors and also to make the brindle gold/black beads stand out more..as I am wanting them on there for Otis..(silly maybe)..but she had a almost like congac color that seems like it would be nice, I'd think. I know a few people has her leads, they should be able to help out better than me.

  • Finally received Pippin's show lead from Sal Wuornos…..I must say I love it...she does an amazing job. The lead is 36" braided black leather, I chose two brindle beads, for Otis...and one silver paw print bead. The chain is braided onto the lead which makes it much slimmer, no bulky clip. Thanks Tanza and Nemo for letting me know about her leads.

  • Very nice. I'm sure you'll be happy with it for a long time. I have another kangaroo lead and it stretched out a couple of inches after use for a short while. The one I have from Sal hasn't changed at all so far. It's currently on a hiatus until I get my next pup. Although, I'll probably get that pup its own lead too, lol.

  • Sal has made one up for me and is sending it to Crufts with Katie Boyd - I'm really excited to be getting it and I too would like to thank Pat and Nemo for their recommendation.

    Saba, have you ordered one?

    Petro, glad you are happy with yours and Patty, I am sure you will be also. Interesting Clay that your other kangaroo stretched… I have some from other people and have not had that problem. But nice to support a "basenji person"... gggg

    My personal preference is that I like a snap on the lead as I tend to show different dogs with different head sizes and I don't like using a chain that is really way long. I have had too many experiences with having a Basenji "back" out of the collar...ggg.. and NOT amusing in the show ring

  • Yes, I am very happy with mine..although I haven't used it yet, but it is lovely. Patty I am sure you will love yours as well.

  • @Basenjimamma:

    Word of advise…. only use this as his "show" lead.... he will quickly learn the difference between a walking lead and a show lead.... all of mine, when the show lead goes on, they know what they will be doing!!!

    At home, put it on him and practice on the table with stacking... and in the yard for moving...

  • At home, put it on him and practice on the table with stacking… and in the yard for moving...

    That is kind of what I figured to do..don't want him to get complacent, yet I do want him to get used to it and comfortable with it.

    Patty I have decided to wait till I see whats at Crufts, before ordering from Sal. I do really love her leads, and I will probably still get 1 or 2, or 3, or 4, (I NEED 1 for each dog of course !!!), but will wait till I get home, when I have some money again ;)…

  • I decided to start off with just one for a very special Basenji and hopefully later get more when finances have improved!!!

    @sanjibasenji said in Crate training: I have much respect for that accumulated knowledge, but, not to sound rude, that does not make that person a certified or licensed trainer. I actually was offended by what you posted. You said you respect the knowledge, but disregard it because they aren't a "certified or licensed trainer"? These are well-intentioned breeders who volunteer to engage with others on the Forum in an attempt to educate and celebrate this amazing dog breed. They share their knowledge. You don't have to agree with them. Offer your opinion and move on. Please don't suggest that their opinion, experience, and education isn't valid because they aren't "certified" or "licensed". Your overall intent screams that you believe yourself to be better than the rest of us: "I'm a scientist with a PhD." Which puts the rest of us beneath you? In education and social stature? You couldn't know about anyone's socioeconomic status, educational achievements, or expertise on any subject. But you deemed to think it was appropriate to put us in our place. And that, was rude. Even the analogy you offered is an indication that you don't value anyone who doesn't have a degree. Frankly, if you are hearing conflicting opinions about the same piece of art, get a third opinion. The person with the degree may have just scraped by with a C+, while the person who devoted decades may have been under the tutelage of a Master Artist. And really, if you are planning to purchase such a prized piece of Art, shouldn't you educate yourself so you can make an intelligent decision instead of allowing others to tell you what to buy? As an aside: The original YouTube link remains, but we certainly do not need her entire catalog of videos. Sharing information is one thing, advertising for someone is another. I would hope that you understand that not everything you see online is true. Including claims to be an expert, certified, trained, Dr., etc., etc. Lots of people in the world are just selling a story.

    THANK YOU!! I finally feel there is somebody out there that 'gets it'. Our girl does not respond to any of the 'pack leader' stuff - I'm sure she was dumped because she is just such a stinker. Everytime I hit bottom somebody helps me through the disaster with encouragment (that's why I joined this group.) THANK YOU for your good thougths - things do progress - her private trainer is coming this weekend & we're doing the prong collar. Last night she sat in her crate for almost 45 minutes. No matter what, she's here to stay & she is so darn cute!!!!! That tail is really precious - thank you so much for all your e-support!! Joanne & Sophie:) :) :) :)

    @Mantis: when Cairo cries in his kennel ( in there with Caesar) it means he has to go to the bathroom….i have found that immediate potty once out of the kennel is a great way to help with the potty training.... yes I take her out after sleeping in the crate and when ever she has a nap it helps ~Kat
