Your basenji's tricks

Basenji Talk
  • Dolce can give high 5 & low 5. A great rollover and will do stick em up where she stands on her hind legs and puts both front paws in the air and stumbles backwards.

  • I can't even imagine! It seems like it would be so difficult or impossible to teach them some of these tricks lol…for me at least.:o

  • Great thread this, Fran. It's made me smile, i love the tricks Zumi can do, especialy show him whose boss and poor, poor.
    Also like the stick em up that Dolce does. Going to have to try them.
    Malaika does the high five and the choosing game.
    This is where i put a treat in one closed fist and show her both hands saying which one.
    She places her paw on the hand she thinks it's in, if she guesses correctly she gets the treat, if i open my hand and nothings there she then places her paw on the other hand.

    I'm going to try the 'choosing' game today. Kipawa seems to have a really good nose.

    let me know how he gets on Fran

  • MD, how did you teach the stick em up trick please ?
    Senji, how did you teach the poor you trick please ?
    I'd like to have a go at these.
    My last Basenji had his own trick where he would run upstairs backwards, i think he did it so he could watch you chasing him as he knew we didn't want him up there. I do wish i'd video'd it.

  • @SenjiShowgirl:

    • go, zumi go! - and that starts a B-500!!

    Cricket's cue for starting the B-500 is "no, no, bad Cricket! GIVE THAT BACK!!!" :rolleyes:

  • Dolly's cue is somewhat like your Cricket's - but we don't have to say anything, all she has to do is see Bob with the Dremel! We then spend the next 10 minutes chasing her around the yard until she finally boxes herself into a corner.
    The only reliable trick any of ours have now is "Shake" before they can get out of the bathtub - and yes, they do shake when given the request! (Notice, I did say request, as it's pretty useless to command a Basenji)

    @margiem Interesting link! If true, the basenji helps in the lion hunt, by impersonating prey and not by being the hunter...

    Hi Vickayx, First let me say Dolce looks adorable. Her white face only makes her look distinguishd. As far as I can determine the only thing mentioned in Basenji Standards is that white should not predominate for her overall appearance and from what you have written you really dont seem to be planning on showing anyway. Years ago I bred Rodesians to show but as I got older I decided that what I wanted most was a little snuggle bug and went to rescue B's. spacicfically those who had had a hard life before me. We now have 2 four legged children who are always rooing to show how happy they are. Enjoy your new baby and remember to try and not let her know she is smarted.
  • Maybe he's not a Basenji…!

    My Basenjis catch and kill wasps and have never got stung in doing so - their snap and release is too quick for them to get stung. However one did get stung on his foot when he trod on a dying bee. Often Basenjis get frightened of a particular thing when they sense their owner's fear. Are you afraid of wasps, Shelley?
