Training the Beanie Babies

Basenji Training

    Last night was the first class for Tempest. She attended Star puppy class, while Gambit started APDT Rally. The puppy class is very small, the other dogs are an english bulldog and a lab. Joe took Tempest to class and sat in a circle with the other owners and instructor as they all took turns passing thier pups around and giving treats and praise and learning what the class would entail. Tempest was a good girl giving little sits for her treats and kisses to all. Gambit looked over at Tempests' ring and then looked up at me as if to say, I'm working my curly tail off over here and shes getting treats and snuggles.

    Gambit did great in two runs thru the rally course. It was my first time doing a slow and fast walk station with her and she adjusted perfectly. The only fault the instructor could find was that I tended to have a tight lead. Now to work on that over the weekend. I may have my first dog to progress in rally beyond an RN as Gambit did not pay any attention to the two agility rings going on to either side of our ring. Trog and Xander always wanted to go visit the other rings when I tried them off lead.

    What a delightful picture. It sounds as though the two of them did very well in their respective classes.

    They are just over 15 lbs each. They are really tiiny compared to the adults, but are growning up so well porportioned that they look older. I love their fronts, they take after uncle Xander, nice and solid. Got Tempests Fanconi test back last night, one week turn around and she is a probable clear. So nice. 3 of the 6 in the litter were clear and 3 carriers.

    @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.

    @elbrant I hope it will arrive today and I will let you know of its success or otherwise. We will try it out immejutely it arrives. Mku slept with me last night. He slept like a log. I didn't, but at least it gave Paul a rest. The diffuser is supposed to diffuse comforting pheronomes. I like the idea of changing it to encourage eating etc. You could be onto a winner there !

    I think incorporating some crate training if none is being used will help. If you take him outside and he does not go potty, when you bring him back in, he must go in crate for about twenty minutes or so and not be allowed to roam or play. Then outside again to potty spot. If he does not go again repeat in crate for twenty minutes then out to potty spot and naturally praise like crazy when he does go. The idea is to get him to go potty when you want and where you want. I felt using the crate was extremely beneficial. Chris Battistelli

    quick note- I don't feed raw; i feed a grain free commercial dog food (there are now quite a few on the market) and have been very happy. I do feed some cooked muttloaf (http://www.maryshouse.us/Recipes.htm) with the evening meal.

    Just curious - have you tested the drug yet? How is it working? I take it you can read norwegian as you live her. If you want to, I can email you som info I got after a session with Gry L?berg regarding my Giants seperation anxiety, it has a training program in it, and some general info.
